Opening post

Let's discuss some of the highlights of the 1st ODI, even if there weren't that many of them :(

Video includes Vermeulen's 92, and all of the big 6's as well as few other highlights.

Things to note:

- at 2:26 and 2:31, evidence of Taylor's wrong LBW decision

- 3:28, did the fielder have his foot on the rope? Live, I thought he did

- 6:18, the "no ball" chant, it was great to see the crowd get involved

Thanks for those!

I think Zim should have scheduled us to play at our most successful venue especially at a time we are trying to get the confidence of the ICC. We should make conditions that suite us! And I think Chibhabha opening the bowling was not the best way to start the defence. What was wrong with Mupariwa and Rainsford are they injured? But I congradulate Ashraful i like that kid though he at times he has some daft shot selection.

Viva la Vermulen though!
Thanks for putting the highlights up- living in england and not having Sky I get hardly any chance to see the boys play. Who are the commentators? Thought I recognised Andy Pycroft, but not sure about the others.
Rayzer- i know dirk viljoen and kevin curran were commentating, not sure about andy pycroft though?

Bayhaus- i havnt heard anything about rainsford/mupariwa being injured, they just played 8 batsmen and 3 spinners

brmtaylor thanks for the highlights!
Just thought I heard Pycroft's guttural tones at one point, might have been wrong though.
