now, 169/5 off 42 overs

 

[crickmate]

Rogers is having a pretty good series, as is the captain Taibu for Zimbabwe.

 

[crickmate]

yeah. Specially I am surprised to see Taibu. Every day he playes in difficuly situation, yet he is soo calm. Quite a remarkable player. Without him the current Zimabbwe team would have been in deep sea.

I agree crickmate, he has shined under the circumstances, I think that two of the rebel player (Blignaut, and Ervine) are eager to return to play for Zimbabwe, not sure if it will happen though. It would be a welcome addition to the Zim squad.

 

[Chubb]

Did you know Barney Rogers isn't a natural left hander? His dad believed you should have your strongest hand at the top of the bat so he taught him to bat that way. When he went to England in 2003 he didn't look up to much but he's come on well by the looks of it.

I hope Ervine and Blignaut come back, but don't bet on it.

Taibu is remarkable really, I don't know how he does it.

Zimbabwe can still win, Masakadza and Payangara can bat and Utseya and Hondo are capable if quick runs.

YES!

 

[crickmate]

now all set up for the thriling final series decider today.

 

[Duncan]

Bangladesh deserves the win. I do feel sorry for Zimbabwe though, if they were using a full strength side they would easily beat Bangladesh. But they decided to be racist and run the whites out. Look what happened, became the worst team.

 

[crickmate]

Zimbabwe 198
Bangladesh will bat now. So far in this series whoever won the toss took bat first and won the game. No one was able win by chasing runs. Can Bangladesh make it now?
