Good game this. Zimbabwe on track and have the fire power, but a couple of wickets and Ireland are back on top.

Zimbabwe used 7 bowlers, and still didn't utilise Chigumbura and Mutombodzi. Allrounders XI this, even Craig Ervine has first class wickets.

Everyone in Zimbabwe ends up with First Class wickets because sometimes through strikes/players not being paid etc the domestic teams end up so bad for a week or two that everyone who is a professional cricketer bats top 6 and bowls. Ervine couldn't bowl a hoop down a hill; I've seen him try.

But yeah it is kind of funny that Raza who is the ninth best bowler in the side (ignoring the fact that Chigumbura and Mutombodzi have the yips at the moment) bowled his ten.

Raza's not that bad. He's a poor man's Suresh Raina, but that's usually okay for the white ball stuff. It's not like Murali Vijay bowling.

Yeah I pretty much agree with this but he's still only the ninth best bowler in this side under normal circumstances.

Damn. I was counting on you to not only know the circumstances surrounding the football game that cause Chatara to be injured, but also the lineups and the eventual score.

Furthermore, I was half hoping for a musing on how Tendai should have been subbed out on the 63rd minute because, with the score 2-1, Tendai's lack of pace and intensity wouldn't help his side find the equalizer needed, and despite the stability he brought to the left-mid position they would have been better served swapping in his brother Otago Chatara in for a more attacking formation.

Disappointed tstl.

More chance of someone like Cabinet being able to tell you that IMO.

Great game between ireland and zimbabwe today, ireland won by two wickets. Zimbabwe and ireland should play each other more often, they always produce entertaining and tight games, i think the commentator said the last 6 of 7 or so games ended in last over finishes and in one game ed rainsford, the number 11 scored a six, to win the game of the last ball
