South Africa v Zimbabwe at Hamilton

That was an excellent partnership with JP and Miller .....

ZIM 91/1 after 16 ... going okay so far ....

Not a bad response from Zim so far

Zimbabwe 125/1 (22.3 ov)

Zimbabwe require another 215 runs with 9 wickets and 27.3 overs remaining

137/2 after 24

Big wicket for Morkel though Zimbabwe showing all kinds of fight. They still have 6 wickets in hand but require another 123 runs from 13 overs. Either way, Zimbabwe have impressed me and if they continue to play like this, they will cause at least one upset. I wish England had shown this kind of fight in the face of such a large run chase.

Edit: Zimbabwe losing their way rapidly with 8 down now and still needing 95 runs from 37 balls.

Well it was never going to happen really ... brave effort by ZIM

South Africa 339/4 (50.0 ov)
Zimbabwe 277 (48.2 ov)

[South Africa won by 62 runs [/i]

Excellent display by Zimbabwe yesterday. If they were playing the West Indies then they would have won. The low ranking teams with the exception of West Indies, have really been doing well so far. Zimbabwe really fought well and it is only a pity they didn't restrict South Africa below 300 runs.

Impressive  the way the Zim Bats handled that awesome Proteas bowling unit !

I was unable to watch the match but heard some of the coverage on the radio. At 83/4 I really thought we were in trouble. It's good that we were able to win despite the top order failing.



Horrible figures by our best bowler. I hope he finds form soon.
