    RTD and Cooper both left out of the dutch squad so they will he well below strength.

    Cooper called up, a player withdrew due to injury however that player is claiming he was fine. Pretty sad really if true.

  • Registered Users Posts: 39,534 ✭✭✭✭KevIRL


    Ireland win the toss and will bowl

    Sad that he was made the fall guy, don't blame him for the statement at all but he's burnt his bridges now.

    Yes Zimbabwe had started well. Ireland I fear will struggle today.

    Agree, was amazed to Zim out to 11/10 in betting after losing the toss

    Oh Cusack, poor attempt at catch there should have been gone

    He was miles away from it!

    Could have done with that one being held. The bowling has not been particularly good so far.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,917 ✭✭✭BarryD


    Nearly 9 runs an over so far - don't think our batting is up to that :(


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,238 ✭✭✭✭djimi


    I havent seen Zimbabwe play in a long time. What is their bowling like these days?


  • Registered Users Posts: 39,534 ✭✭✭✭KevIRL


    Badly needed that, good start McBrine


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,238 ✭✭✭✭djimi


    Big wicket!


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,138 ✭✭✭snaps


    This will be a huge score by Zimbabwe

    Theyre looking at 200+ unless we can start finding some wickets soon.


  • Registered Users Posts: 39,534 ✭✭✭✭KevIRL


    Another wicket it looks like, great keeping


  • Registered Users Posts: 39,534 ✭✭✭✭KevIRL


    85-3 at halfway mark. Cant be leaving them with wickets in hand for last 5 overs

    Seem to have slowed the flow, for the moment anyway!


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,238 ✭✭✭✭djimi


    How short are the boiundaries here? It looks like no effort to scoop the ball up and over for 6.


  • Registered Users Posts: 39,534 ✭✭✭✭KevIRL


    Sibanda gone, Taylor a huge threat still though

    Commentator just saying boundaries are short


  • Registered Users Posts: 39,534 ✭✭✭✭KevIRL


    Taylor gone, great work Dockrell


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,238 ✭✭✭✭djimi


    Thats the wicket we needed. Score looking a lot more manageable now, especially given how tiny this ground is.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,748 ✭✭✭✭Lovely Bloke


    nice catch


  • Registered Users Posts: 39,534 ✭✭✭✭KevIRL


    Spinners really done the trick. 12 overs 68 runs 4 wickets


  • Registered Users Posts: 39,534 ✭✭✭✭KevIRL


    Expensive last over but a great fightback by Ireland in second half of that innings. All to play for, could really do with a good knock from Stirling

    Cusack - 53 runs lost off 4 overs............. near enough a third of the Zim total.
