[Watsupdoc]

What other spinners do Zimbabwe have?

 

[taqi]

[acer]

Wat hell ausie doing

 

[NJamal]

31/0 after 12 overs

 

[cricketindiafan]

So indian fate will be decided today

I knew this was coming

 

[pwarekar]

Anybody knows, prior to world cup how many one days zimbabwe played and what are the results?

 

[Watsupdoc]

I seriously wonder what's the plan from Australia here...

 

[talha3]

What other spinners do Zimbabwe have?

Zimbabwe have plenty of spinners.

 

[hazen_batti]

Australian listened the "The Tortoise and the Hare" last night

 

[talha3]

Australia won't win this world cup. They've proved against India and again today, they're not good or confident against spin.

 

[Blitz]

This match reeks of

 

[Watsupdoc]

8 dot balls from Prosper

 

[NJamal]

32/0 after 13 overs

 

[Watsupdoc]

Zimbabwe have plenty of spinners.

I know cremer is a leg spinner.

Masakadza is he a spinner?

 

[Krishnan]

Just one over with 4 boundaries can change the match.What happened to u guys,all of u lacking from patience.Damn this t20

 

[talha3]

Oh how unlucky!

 

[IAJ]

Wow, this is some really tight bowling from Zimbabwe. Only a matter of time before watson or haddin throw their wicket away.

 

[acer]

Almost gone

 

[Abdullah22]

Aussies aren't struggling they are just playing mind games with us.

 

[cricketindiafan]

Can ZImba pick a wicket here? Would be awesome.

 

[NJamal]

Mpofu back into attack

 

[NJamal]

[hazen_batti]

12.6
Utseya to Haddin, no run, Ah, what happened there? One of those rare occasions when the ball hit the stumps without disturbing the bails, I reckon. Replays awaited. Flat and turning in from Utseya, Haddin was keen to work it to the leg side, he played all around it as opened his stance and looked to flick. It ran off the inside edge, between his legs and hits the base of the leg stump. The bail stays put. Haddin smiles, Taibu moans. Some excitement after 13 quiet overs.

 

[NJamal]

Another 444444444444

 

[Watsupdoc]

may be the ICC has paid Australia to make the world cup more interesting.

 

[NJamal]

44444444444 by Haddin

 

[hazen_batti]

Just one over with 4 boundaries can change the match.What happened to u guys,all of u lacking from patience.Damn this t20

Mazhar Majeed

 

[talha3]

I know cremer is a leg spinner.

Masakadza is he a spinner?

Williams is a spinner, Taylor is a spinner. Add to that the 2 spinners we've already seen.

Masakadza is a medium pacer.

 

[NJamal]

4444444444444 again

 

[hussnainn]

[IAJ]

Mpofu ney sari mehnat pey mitti daal di, pagal kahin ka

 

[acer]

Still powerplay ?

 

[Khabri420]

"Openers break loose after quiet start"

I was expecting the RR to be around 5 if they cut loose with an initial quiet start. A RR of 3.5 is not breaking loose. Unless that means something else, really

You do break loose if you all of the sudden score 17 runs in one over.

 

[IAJ]

Minnows should be allowed to let their best bowler bowl 20 overs in a match.

 

[Khabri420]

You do break loose if you all of the sudden score 17 runs in one over.

And then what happens when you sit tight for the next few overs? What's that called

 

[hazen_batti]

Minnows should be allowed to let their best bowler bowl 20 overs in a match.

And 2 lives to best batsman

 

[Amjid Javed]

Australia being way to over cautious here to say the least! Zimbos whole attack is pretty much spin orientated!

 

[Matic]

Don't know about you guys but I'm loving this

 

[Amjid Javed]

Minnows should be allowed to let their best bowler bowl 20 overs in a match.

So Zaheer Khan should be allowed 20 overs and Sachin should be allowed 2 lives?

 

[IAJ]

And then what happens when you sit tight for the next few overs? What's that called

Yet another good comeback by the bowling side...And maybe they break loose again?

 

[Blitz]

 

[Blitz]

Shocking decision by Ashocka. Thank god for UDRS!

 

[IAJ]

So Zaheer Khan should be allowed 20 overs and Sachin should be allowed 2 lives?

If you concider India as a minnow, then yes!

 

[Matic]

Out lbw !!

 

[pwarekar]

"Australia scored just 28 runs in the first ten overs. But that is way more than what they managed against South Africa in Cape Town in 2006. On that day, they scored 7 for 4 in ten overs and went on to lose by 196 runs, with Makhaya Ntini picking up 6 for 22."

That I agree with - but cricinfo needs to be updating their headlines more often or not change it at all!

[James]

That is the most OUT thing I've ever seen! Thank God for the review system this time!! De Silva, you are rubbish!!! By the way, that was a simply horrific innings from Haddin. A pathetically limited player, been saying it for a while now. Why do people rate him?

 

[acer]

First reveiw out

 

[H]

 

[Eagle_Eye]

Dasilva......

That was plumb as you can get....Thankfully review system is in place.....

 

[James]

I like Cremer's action.

 

[H]

This is why UDRS is important

 

[Khabri420]

Good stuff from Zimbabwe. So far so good by them - even if it comes as a result of Australia being overly cautious.

 

[Blitz]

Because he's Australian

 

[Blitz]

Ricky Ponting!

Don't like the guy, but seeing him come to the crease in a World Cup....the tournament has truly BEGUN!!

 

[acer]

Punter my fav batsman in crease. Pls thrash these zim

 

[hazen_batti]

who are the umpires 2day?

 

[Matic]

Ponting should revive the Australian innings..

 

[Amjid Javed]

I think in games where Da silva is umpiring we will see UDRS being used almost all the time!

God knows how this moron keeps being allowed to officate!

 

[KSaeed]

20 overs gone- 65 for 1

 

[Strike!]

Hopefully this match is a closer one than the last few.

 

[godzilla]

how is ashocker still supposed to be international standard. this guy is blind.

 

[KSaeed]

Australia going v e r y s l o w l y


Tactical or is it Zimbabwe's tight, constricting bowling?

 

[NJamal]

69/1 after 21 overs

 

[James]

What was Ian Chappell rattling on about when he said that this was a clever strategy by Australia? Scoring at 3 an over for the first half of the innings?

 

[hazen_batti]

I was supposed to get 12 runs for each Watson's 6 today

 

[cricketindiafan]

Ashoka, Saheba, Doctrove, harper etc are the reasons why UDRS is a must in all forms of cricket.

 

[KSaeed]

Well they have wickets in hand for the closing moments of the innings so they can just slog out
