***Official*** Zimbabwe in New Zealand 2012

[Zinzan]

Wow, didn't realize Southee averaged over 20 tbh. Intuitively thought it'd be around 16-17

 

[Zinzan]

Yeah missed it in my first search.

You're losing your touch

 

[Athlai]

Reckon we shouldn't declare before 500 tbh.We should just make sure we won't have to bat again.

 

[BeeGee]

Wow, what a shot from Watling. Beautiful.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Southee tees off some more.

 

[Athlai]

Quality innings from Southee so far. Isn't just mindless slogging.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Agree, he's keeping the head still and letting timing to the work rather than using brute strength like previously.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Eh, job done. Well played.

 

[Athlai]

Haha there was the mindless slogging we all know and love.

 

[BeeGee]

Good cameo from Southee.

We won't need a declaration. Just hit out lads.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Southee on track to beat Gilchrist's 100 test sixes, already got 24 from just 15 games.

 

[Zinzan]

Boult has a good T20 (Test) batting record, averaging 21 & striking at 116

 

[wellAlbidarned]

C'mon Boult, time for a swing.

 

[Athlai]

C'arn Watling get that 100.

 

[BeeGee]

Spanked!

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Heh, that'll do.

 

[Athlai]

Jarvis is a pretty classy bowler.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Wow. Shocker.

 

[BeeGee]

Terrible fielding. Poor Jarvis.

The heads are going down for Zimbabwe.

 

[Zinzan]

He's a bit of a back-foot camper imo, but other than that I quite like his style. Plays everything right under the eyes, never seems to be lunging.

Watling still needs to work on keeping his bat straight in his follow through, too often it comes through crooked. If he can iron out that technical deficiency there's good sign for him.
