Pricey back to his usual self: 2-1-1-1 :)
Just observed that Obanda has a 40+ ODI average. Our best chance to reach 40+ avg. currently seems to be Waller / Chakabva.
And I have added a hint to the latest Photo Quiz question.
EDIT: Oh! Chakabva hasn't played after the debut 41. So, he is already above 40 ;)

For Waller to have a batting average of 40 or more by the end of today's match he'd need to make at least 72 before getting out, or at least 32 not out.

Cremer hit for 6 :(
I'm noticing a trend though, if we keep the batsmen quiet at the beginning of the over they are taking risks off the last couple of balls. Like when Price took the wicket of Otieno, he was going for a shot from the last ball of the over.
Maybe bowling wide of off stump for the final ball wouldn't hurt, it might open up the possibility of a stumping if the batsman advances down the pitch for a shot.

the spinner seem to be bowling quite flat perhaps they need to toss the ball up a bit more

Let's see, 1 run off the over and 3 dot balls in a row. 2 more balls in the over, I wonder if we'll see an attempt at a big shot... I think we will.

22.5 Cremer to Obanda, OUT, flighted nicely on middle and he tries to go over the long-on boundary, but Masakadza takes a comfortable catch

Zimbabwe seem to be falling into this trap a lot lately, instead of keeping the pressure on the batsmen and bringing back someone like Chigumbura (yes he was expensive, but he has a knack of taking a wicket when he is brought back on) or Price, we seem to give the batsmen an easy ride - Masakadza and Dabengwa don't look threatening, they are just giving away easy runs.
This needs to be addressed, where is the killer instinct?

my personal opion is that utseya is feeling threatend by the emergance of cremer and price and is worried that he may not be worth his place in the team, therfore he is bowling others ahead of them

This is disgraceful:
Thanks to 7 useless overs by Masakadza and Dabengwa that conceded 43 of those runs. Price, Mpofu, Chigumbura all had a lot of overs left - very poor captaincy, a real shame seeing of late he's made some pretty good on-field decisions. What does Price have to do to get a bowl?? Unless he is brought on in the next over or two he will not get to bowl his full 10 overs.
Current partnership 76 runs, 14.5 overs, RR: 5.12

If Cremer concedes 6 or less runs from his next over, he will have an ODI economy rate below 4.00 an over :)

Great bowling performance! 4/39 from 10 overs brings his career ODI economy rate to 3.96 :)
:W: :W: :W: :W:
In the scheme of things, he has taken the important wickets too; Tikolo, Obuya, Obanda and Kamande.
