***Official*** Zimbabwe in South Africa

[Pratters]

Well maybe he just doesn't want to get into the stress of playing for Zimbabwe then.

 

[Langeveldt]

Davey Jacobs for an SA spot, ditto Tshabalala

 

[TT Boy]

Well Zimbabwe have won the toss and decided to bat first, there goes my predication of 470 runs scored then.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Heh. Gibbs is playing after all.

 

[Steulen]

Will be a short game and hopefully Zimbabwe do better than expected and will make it into three figures. I need a good score in the prediction comp.

Key will be surviving the first 20 overs. Robbie Peterson comes thereafter.

Is Brian Larawawa in the Zim team?

 

[Magrat Garlick]

I see SA are taking this game seriously. Sibanda on 48*...

 

[Langeveldt]

I hope Robbie P gets absolutely carted, just to show he really is the second worst international player in world cricket

Yeah!!

25.4 Peterson to Masakadza, 3 runs, full ball on the stumps, paddle sweep to fine leg for a couple of runs
25.3 Peterson to Masakadza, SIX, flighted and full length ball on the off stump, Masakadza lofts straight and high over the sight-screen, top class shot!
25.2 Peterson to Masakadza, FOUR, wide outside the off stump, Masakadza cuts off the back foot to point fence, excellent placement

 

[TT Boy]

Good stuff by Zim, 235 is what you need guys.

Makes you wonder what is going to happen to him in India against good batsman, when he can not even obtain respectable figures against the likes of Zimbabwe.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Here comes Kallis to boost his averages.

 

[Langeveldt]

Here comes Kallis to boost his averages.

Looking forward to Marc spewing about how Kallis will only bowl when it suits him..

EDIT - oh, already happened

Who else were we going to bowl, Peterson?

EDIT - Oh, we've just bought him on

 

[Langeveldt]

Nicky Boje should have more greivances about not being selected than Kevin Pietersen ever had.. If I was him, I'd get on that plane and try some county cricket

When fit captain Smith.

 

[Langeveldt]

When fit captain Smith.

Smith is an infinitely better bowler than Peterson

 

[TT Boy]

Smith is an infinitely better bowler than Peterson

Looked a better bowler than Boje also, in the test matches against Aus and New Zealand.

 

[TT Boy]

Here comes Kallis to boost his averages.

Well no one else wants to...

 

[Langeveldt]

The stage nicely set for Dippenaar and Kallis here, to demonstrate that when you pick quality players, they tend to put in good performances..

Now theres a lesson to us all
