Disapointed to be sitting out. However I understand the policy and wish the boys all the luck in notching up a convincing win.

Zimbabwe vs Cricket Web XI
4th ODI - Pickford Reserve
Scorecard
Commentary
In what was perhaps their most lacklustre showing of the series, the Cricket Web XI squeezed past an impressive Zimbabwe by 26 runs. The Webheads were inserted, but could manage only 235-5 on a slow surface, before struggling to break the Zimbabwean batting lineup as they got to 209-5.
Edward Rainsford and Anthony Ireland set the pace with sharp seam bowling first up. Though Aranuva Das and Sean Fuller each registered their maiden ODI half-centuries, the CW XI were never truly on top. Fuller pressed on to an unbeaten 103 from 145 balls, but failed to accelerate effectively on a pitch that presented difficulties in timing.
Zimbabwe then followed up an impressive bowling performance with a superb start to their innings, posting a record 131 for the first wicket against some truly indifferent seam bowling. Fuller and Halsey were the clear standouts in the attack, as the bowlers largely struggled to keep a consistent line and length, instead being suckered in short bowling despite the slow nature of the pitch.
Openers Mufambisi and Sibanda got past 50, but like their hosts earlier, they failed to pick up the tempo sufficiently to mount a genuine challenge on the total. Strydom struck a couple of hearty blows toward the end, but it was a bit too little too late.

Great match from Fuller, Halsey and Watt bowled solidly too, the rest of the side was a little average though - fire up guys, hammer them into ground

Bit of a relief to make some runs after three failures in the series. Wasn't the most fluent innings though, and we really should have made 250+.
Hopefully we can win the last one a bit more convincingly.
