Bond up to 146 k's..I reckon by the end of the series he could be back up to the 150's.

Why is it saying on cricinfo that Zimbabwe are getting 50 overs? Or is that just there scorecard screwing up?

Cricinfo have been horrible today. I suggest you keep up with the game via Cricbuzz instead for this one.

Yup. CricBuzz is faster as well. CricInfo is normally a bit funnier though.

Think that was against really weak opposition though. Namibia, IIRC.

Absolutely, it was v. Namibia, I was lying by omission. first game of the 2003WC, when flower and Olonga made their black armband statement for the first time. I used to have the innings on video. I tell you, NZ should be very worried about him.

You know, this Brendon Taylor dude could become really good, imho. He's only 19.

He is good, he's been pushed in too early, but he is a very natural striker of the ball, just needs to work on his technique and he could average mid 30's. Give it three or four years and Zim might have a useful batting unit with him, Taibu and Masakadza.

He (Brendan Taylor) had a good knock in the 2nd test and made a score in the 70's. Pretty good knock too

they're going to need to find some decent bowlers first.

Mahwire does have potential, so does Mpofu, Rainsford, and especially Panyangara. If there is a change in regime, which is not unlikely in the next few years then maybe Ervine, Friend, Olonga etc. might come back. I have been very disppointed with blignaut since his return though, and with Cremer this series.

not trying to make excuses here but it can't have been easy for the Zimbabweans to go straight into a test without playing any first-class for a while. NZ were in the same boat though. However, that may be why Cremer performed so poorly, because he did bowl well v. Bangladesh and in the second test v. SA. I know he's a running joke at the moment but he does have some potential.

Ireland maybe should have played in the second test instead of Mpofu, apparently (like most Zimbabweans unfortunately) he fancies himself an allrounder too.

Are we talking about NZ or Zimbabwe? :p 11.4 overs and still no wicket. Should be doing better than this if we want to get them out for less than 150.
