*Official* New Zealand in Zimbabwe

Another soft dismissal. Disappointing.

Zimbabwe are their own worst enemy. It's either block or bash. Where are the quick singles?

was watching Jayawardene bat against us last year. We tied him down for 3 overs and I thought he might crack - but he didn't he just kept on batting. Those Zimbo openers do not have that kind of experience they need more cricket. Give them 5 years and they will be better.

I don't think Masakadza could make the inexperience excuse - 10 years of international cricket and 112 ODIs under his belt now.

 

[BeeGee]

Beautiful delivery from McKay.

Typical. I stop watching for five minutes and that happens...

Then he has no excuse.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Franklin swinging it? I'm suspicious now.

 

[Flem274*]

Franklin is a swing bowler, and at the pace he bowls these days the ball has ample time to move its arse.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Yeah, but despite all that he's barely swung it an inch in internationals the last few years.

 

[Flem274*]

Dropped. Sounded tough.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Not watching it?

 

[Flem274*]

I don't know whether I want another Taylor century or not. Would mean we have a game on our hands, but then I hate having that one batsman who always ruins your bowling day.

 

[Flem274*]

Not watching it?

I'm a student. Can't afford Sky and my internet is too low to use a stream.

If I'm still up at two (when our net becomes free), I'll stream.

 

[BeeGee]

Dropped. Sounded tough.

Very tough, inside edge. Saved four.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

If the Zimbos had a couple of decent pacers I'd be worried about us chasing 200 odd in these conditions tbh.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Oh dear. "Making the same mistake twice" as they say.

 

[Hurricane]

Good catch

We must be a candidate for top fielding team in the world.

 

[Flem274*]

Oram's probably going to finish with extremely tidy figures here. They're not scoring a run off him.

I think they're making it look tougher than it really is. Taylor isn't struggling like the others.
