***Official*** Sri Lanka in Zimbabwe

[Prince EWS]

That's being a bit cruel towards the likes of Masakadza and Chigumbura if not Sibanda.

Not to mention Sean Williams, who I actually think is more talented than Taibu himself.

Now this is truly annoying. Mubarak has been given another go. I really dunno what they see in him. Jus hope with all my heart that he doesn't score a run today. If he gets into double figures his place in the team will be unchallenged for the next ten matches to come. Can't believe that a dire fellow like him has been keeping mathews out of the team for so long.Saw mathews in the provincial tourney. Looks like quite a prospect.
The word in bold-jus trying to be more CWish.

Mendez the killing mechine strikes again.

 

[Steulen]

Interesting to see Prosper Utseya open the bowling, with customary economy as well.

Mendis...current ODI bowling average 10...WTF?

 

[Nate]

Zimbabwe doing their best to make a game of it.

Get out Mubs.

 

[Lostman]

How bad is the SL one day team, when they struggle to beat zimbabwe without jayasuriya

Pretty bad.If sanga or the two jaya's can't make runs that pretty much means they are in trouble.They need to fine some more top quality batsmen and sadly the are lacking them at the moment.

 

[Chubb]

Top bowling effort from the lads... if only they'd got a few more runs. Prosper, Ray, Elton and Tawanda have done really well and it is a shame for them to lose.

Much better than what the Bangladeshis are doing. Zimbabwe ffs merits test status any more than Bangladesh. Or strip both of them of test status.

Bangladesh don't merit test status, Zimbabwe or rather the ZCU does not merit a place on the ICC board. but you cant suspend one without the hurting the other it seems so neither will be dealt with.

An ODI in Zimbabwe is not the same as a Test Match in RSA

Well done Zim though, you can throw what you like at that country but they never lose their spirit

 

[Manee]

Mendis' six wicket haul certainly not as worthless as future analysers of statsguru will lead us to believe. A critical haul to win the game for his team, he really is an all round gun!

There should be Two Divisions in Test status:

Div 1:
1) Australia
2) India
3) South Africa
4) England
5) Pakistan
6) Srilanka
7) New Zealand
8) West Indies

Div 2:
1) Bangladesh
2) Zimbabwe
3) Ireland
4) Kenya
5) Scotland/Namibia

End of every season there has to be a promotion & Relegation series between 8th from Div 1 & 1st from Div 2.

What he said!!!

Bangladesh have a bowler. These guys need a whacked up pitch or severely limited overs to take any wickets whatsoever.

Bangladesh would easily beat Zimbabwe. They're a far more talented side.

good idea, ireland have the potential to be quite good, so too does bangladesh, but none of them have an brains whatsoever.

kenya suffer only from lack of exposure, zimbabwe should just be banished, period

sibanda is the best of the 3 you just mentioned and he probably struggles to make runs in sydney grade cricket (does he still play there), if anything i was doing a dis-service to brendan taylor and ray price, who should probably seek professional cricket in england or SA

Talented but they dont concentrate & are most inconsistent side. They dont improve their batting, bowling or winning record. They are very careless in shot-selection...

 

[Rant0r]

it's so frustrating to watch blokes like ashraful and nafees (gone to icl now) make hundreds against the best in the world, then make sfa most other games
