ZCF Hall of Famer

Opening post

Kenya v Ireland on Saturday (where I can cheer for Ireland with a clear conscience), followed by Kenya v Zimbabwe on Sunday.

At this point, the Kenya/Ireland match is quite close - it's in Zim's best interests for Ireland to win it, so come on the boys in light green. :D

Kenya's Required RR 6.53... Ireland would really have to mess it up to lose this one.

Waters is making his List A & ODI debut today and batting well. You would think the only way Kenya could pull it off is if he or Tikolo (coming in next) make a hundred, or at least play through the innings.

And in the Zimbabwe vs Kenya game:


6.2 Price to Obuya, OUT

S Waters run out 20 (22b 4x4 0x6) SR: 90.90


A wicket maiden to start with for Price, and that is a big wicket. Mpofu is bowling well it seems from the other end.

Pricey 3-3-0-0 :)

Three consecutive maidens by Priceless Price :D :D :D

And Tikolo just had to go and hit a four :roll:

Still 6-4-7-0 is still looking pretty good... another 4 maidens and he will equal his record from Friday 😂

this is not good news. 2 for 129. Murama getting smashed. Creamer in for the next game i hope.

This is stupid, 2/144... Kenya are hopeless, why are the bowlers giving away so many runs?
Veteran
it seems we just have to many spinners.

Recovery by Tikolo n Obanda who both scored 50's and 100 run p'ship which is looking dangerous. :(

End of over 30- Kenya 146/2

Time to try something different, it doesn't looks like we are going to take wickets with Dabengwa or Chigumbura at the moment. Maybe throwing the ball to Mpofu is an option.

I don't think the third powerplay has been used yet either? Obviously that is why Price hasn't been allowed to bowl his final 3 overs yet.

2/158, this is embarrassing.
Veteran
god we ne a wicket badly
ZCF Hall of Famer
It was only going to be a matter of time before a 2 man pace attack failed on us. Probably Mupariwa back in the side for Maruma in the next match. Now Masakadza's bowling... geez, get Mpofu on, he's still got 4 overs!
Veteran
drop catches dont help either

37.5 Utseya to Obanda, OUT, deceived by the turn and bowled through the gate

A Obanda b Utseya 71 (100b 6x4 3x6) SR: 71.00


Needed that
Veteran
oh thank god a wicket :D
ZCF OriginalZCF Hall of Famer
Price finishes well, 10-5-18-0. Others have really gone for a lot. Bowling must have been very ordinary.
ZCF Hall of Famer
Utseya is clueless... if Mpofu doesn't bowl the next over (and every over thereafter) he cannot complete his 10.

It's Russian roulette to count on that, Mpofu should have bowled this over to give Utseya some breathing space (say he wanted to change ends?).
Veteran
the fielding must have been shockibg there has been a few drop catches
Veteran
wicket to mpofu :)
