[Match Thread] UAE v Zimbabwe (World Cup Pool B)

[jaybro]

Chigs almost gets Khan to play on .....

Could he get to 100 ODI wickets today ???

[CrimsonAvenger]

Chigs seems to be back to his horrible worst bowling wise. No control or plan whatsoever.

This does not look like a bowling line up that helps us against all teams. Too thin. We are a Mupariwa short...

Mupariwa would be of no use. This attack is toothless; UAE look at sea against anything 135+ (which has basically been Chatara plus a few Mire deliveries). Doubt a 110 trundler would worry them too much - look at what they did to Chigumbura, who is just bowling awfully.

UAE embarrassing us here. Very disappointing. All things being equal you'd expect Zim to have them about 5/67, not 2/67.

This is a 300+ pitch ......

These guys are chancing their hands a touch I'm sure a wicket is just around the corner .....

[jaybro]

This Khan bloke is 43 years old !!! Lets get Chatara back on and see how he likes the short stuff ......

This is downright embarrassing. Doesn't matter what the pitch is worth - it's a team of amateurs vs professionals.

Someone mentioned the other day we were being too negative about Zimbabwe's chances against Ireland. If we can't even look like the better team against UAE, the one team there should have been absolutely no question marks over, what bloody hope do we have.

Chatara has been good. He and Vitori for 20 overs would have wrapped up this match.

[jaybro]

Kamungozi and Mire are drying up the runs but we need a wicket soon ......

has to be worth Chatara for a few overs or golden arm Masakadza .....

This is hopeless. Get Chatara on and let him bowl his full quota. No point saving him for the last 10 when he's going to go for runs anyway.

UAE could conceivably get 260 today. What an absolute joke. Absolutely pathetic.

Well done mire.
