*Official* Zimbabwe in CWLand

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Good batting Towns, poor performance by Zimbabwe, as always.

They scored 228 runs against the second best ODI team in the world and then tied us down for the best part of 20 overs. Hardly a poor performance, given the quality of the Zimbabwean side.

 

[Tom Halsey]

Again, team played well but not spectacularly, I played ok but not spectacularly, and Towns played a quality innings.

Very professional knocks from Towns and Butler to see us home. Can't complain about a 3-0 series lead, even if they havne't been thrashings.

Obviously it's a huge honour to captain the side, especially so early in my career. Never imagined I was third in line (so to speak) before this tournament.

Really disappointed with my personal form though. Been going okay in the one dayers in the Dev League, but can't seem to make the step up here. Back to the nets I guess.

Good win guys. Delighted to finally get some wickets to help out the team cause.

 

[cbuts]

might only be Zimbabwe, but it still feels great to be getting runs for CW again

 

[kears_falcon_9]

9* I'll take that, first ODI game for quite some time, happy to see the team win hopefully in the next couple matches we can smash them and get a whitewash of the series.

Well batted Buts and Towns. Kyle and Rose bowled well, Fuller struggling (jokes)

 

[luffy]

Seems to be struggling CW XI but a wins a win I guess.

 

[Travis_Teh]

not being able to bowl zimbabwe out is a bit of a concern.

Another win, though.

 

[Perm]

Just an average performance but some good batting from Towns and Butler, Towns has to be Man of the Series.

Anyway well done boys!!!

 

[Loony BoB]

Another win, again not as convincing as I'd like but at the same time, as someone has said, winning is winning.

Very happy with my batting this series.

Wonder if you'll get that ODI average up above mine any time soon?

Final 2 ODIs postponed to Friday and Saturday.

Does that mean the players involved will one or both of the dev league finals? Or will they be scheduled for after the final match?

The finals haven't been scheduled yet, AFAIK. So those will be scheduled for after the Zimbabwe series.

Eager to make some more runs... would be nice to have one of myself or Dasa (or both!) going on to make an unbeaten ton, hopefully this game will have that.
