    Will this be a good indicator of where we are? Beating Zimbabwe would justify a place allowing us to compete in ODIs and as a lesser Test Nation. Is this a first choice Zimbabwe XI?

    Do we still have an aging squad or have we any lads in our early 20s playing? I still see KO'B and Porterfield. Ed Joyce was playing right up until he was 40 odd too.

    They lost their most recent games against The Netherlands.. so we should really be beating them too

    Also our odi and test status are pretty secure now regardless

    Challenging enough target for our lads. Someone will need to put together a decent innings.

    O'Brien out. Poor shot. Picked out the fielder. Starting to throw away a good platform.

    RTE radio sport reporting that Ireland have practically lost this match and that only a couple of overs left! Do they know something we don't, can they see into the future or more likely their sports dept personnel know SFA about cricket :)
