A respectable effort for the zimmer boys in the first game scoring 250 chasing 295.
Can they cause a 33/1 upset ? Anything is possible after the Pakistan game.
Could be showers around......

why does this comm keep shouting when its a straightforward single ?
two zim 6's ??
must have a great chance, huge total to chase and a nice short boundary on one side. Bound to be a few maximums among the wickets id have thought.

Got £20 green to play with on the match odds. Zim at 150.0 is where it goes :)
How many are Zim gonna get? Ill say 220ish
Whats webberburn talking about ffs
England favs to beat SA in one-day series ?

i feel sorry for taibu, he's quite a tidy cricketer
i've backed zim to get over 53 in 1st 15.
could do with an edge for 4

Not looking too good for DE's 6s here. Can Taibu actually hit 6s ?
nope. my own fault. shouldn't be betting on this shyte in the 1st place.
I cant understand how Coventry with a best of 194 can bat 6
i can't understand how he got 194!
he's scared of the short ball!

Havent seen loads of him but having seen the zim top order in these last two games and also in bangs I find it very odd.
taibu is ther only player of any quality in this entire line up, masakadza and taylor ain't too bad on their day. But the rest are garbage against quality bowling
yes before mugabi got involved they weren't terrible
Horror innings this when needing one 6. Bit costly too.
South Africans not my favourite team at present.

Cheers chaps, worth a 2.5k turnaround that for me, not life changing but always nice when they go your way, especially when the margin is about 1 inch.
you'd be better off betting on the toss DE! That bet had very little chance if Zim batted 1st.
Pure luck in the end Dougy. Had a gutful of similar losses of late so might have been due a break.
I was as certain as I could be SA bat first no matter what in this match Lix, I suspect there is a bit of a protocol there.
Always good to see differing views DE. I thought Saffas would have bowled first so that they had a go at setting a score and chasing a score in their 'practice matches'. How did you know?
Really? good bet then. What makes you think SA were always gonna be batting 1st?
not much of a game putting the other lot in and bowling em out for 100 is it? need to give the numpties who paid to get in something for their money
If yo think of where Zim are in their development, SA are basically doing them a favour playing these matches against them(as they should) but the matches become a bit pointless for the Zims if they bat first, go ao 130 and Saffrs chase that 2 down in 20 overs.
At least this way they get afull bowling innings, so get development for their spinners/death bowling etc. And the Saffers get the full batting innings which they would want going into the coming series v England.
It doesn't always follow in matches between the major and minor teams but in these ones that arebasically friendlies it is the norm for the major team to bat first when it is a lead up to a more competitive series.

Sky cover cause they are playing England in 2 days!!
Worth looking out for the same effect in otehr major v minor team matches. When Australia decide to assist England with their development for instance. ;)
But it's true, playing against elite class internationa players like Watson and Hughes can only benefit the sub standard England players in the long term.
Just 8 or more 6's at 1.67 Tites. I thought SA would bat first and hit more than that at this venue v this attack. They hit 7 leaving me in the agonising position of needing one in the Zim innings. The Saffers actually had more than enough 6 attempts to get there but they mistimed loads that fell a bit short.
Zim were 8 down with none on the board and the whole thing was looking a bit sick, when one of the saffer seamers bowled a bouncer to Rape Rice who duly hooked it no higher than 10 feet and it travelled about 50 yards, hitting the boundary marker about 1 inch above the ground.
In hindsight it was probably no better bet than SA supremacy or overs on the wides, but I think it's a bet I'd take again in the circs.

Looks like Dean Jones and Allan Border are attempting to help the Windies with their development by playing a weakened side. Suggesting Watson and Hughes play ahead hussey, PMSL!!!
