GROUP B - Australia, England, Zimbabwe

[steds]

LOL. You know, I don't think they can be stopped.

 

[TT Boy]

You'll probably still have enough though. The guys aren't too hot against the moving ball. but it's great to see some fight.

Neither are the Australians by the look of it. Great stuff by Zim!

 

[steplo]

Hodge will make 50, anyone following the game live?

 

[TT Boy]

Six down.

Zimbabwean fielding has been excellent to say the least.

 

[steplo]

The problem with Zimbabwee is they can't tonk the Aussie bowlers and will be out for 80 runs max!

 

[Prince EWS]

Wow, Hayden gone. A format which makes Hayden dire is okay by me I guess.

Taibu not keeping - Chappell thinks they might want him to focus on his batting, but I have an inkling they might have him penciled in for four overs.

Called it.

 

[pup11]

But these are hardly the conditions for a T20 game.
Binga gone now, Australia at risk of getting bowled out here.

 

[steplo]

Lee the idiot slogger is gone, trying to smash it instead of supporting Hodge!

 

[grecian]

Please let Australia be bowled out, I would laugh soooooooooooooooooooooooo much

 

[Prince EWS]

Is Taibu one of the best bowlers in the country? If so, that's pretty impressive to be one of the best batsmen, bowlers and wicketkeepers in your country at the same time!

Well he bowls his off breaks, yes. He and Masakadza both bowled medium pace despite being spinners by trade today because of the pitch conditions and it didn't really pay off. Taibu's seamers look pretty dire to me, but he's a good off spinner.

 

[pup11]

Comeon Mitch!

What's wrong with the conditions?

 

[pup11]

Zimbabwean fielding has been something else today!

 

[steplo]

Who knows, I think it's a bit overcast, but I think the Aussies just don't give a hoot, except for Hodge!

 

[PY]

C'mon Zimmers, 2 wickets in 3 balls will do nicely!

Cue 3 6s...

EDIT: Cricinfo is so slow that the innings had actually finished when I typed that...

 

[pup11]

139-9, so thats the end of the Australian innings. Zimbabwe need 140 to win and Australia have their work cut out in this game.

 

[Nate]

Played Hodge. And Symonds a bit. And no-one else.

Australia need atleast 150 on the board, but that looks highly unlikely atm.

 

[aussie]

hmmmmmmmm, ah well eagerly anticipating to see how quick Lee can get it throught to Gilchrist...
