Zimbabwe looking on course to win the series, need 90 off 15 with 7 wickets left.

What an absolute farce this match is though IMO. On what effing planet is it alright for a Zimbabwean to umpire a game involving Zimbabwe? How the hell is this allowed??

Just look at the decisions so far

27.5 Raza to Stirling, OUT - LBW! That looked a ridiculous decision from here and Stirling is shot out by umpire Matibiri. He was well forward and it hit him high on the pad

11:25 AM Stirling was looking so good there and I'm afraid that was a poor decision

21.4 Raza to Joyce, OUT - LBW! But beaten there although Joyce claiming he got a big edge

1.2 Murtagh to Mutumbami, 1 leg bye. Appeal from Murtagh is turned down. Looked exactly same height at Stirling's and he was even further back

35.1
Mooney to Ervine, no run, has he caught this? The ball shoots past Ervine and O'Brien holds onto it at the second attempt. Mooney is running down the pitch in celebration as Ireland appeal, but Umpire Matibiri says no!

Total pisstake, ICC not even bothered to give us neutral umpires

ODIs have always had one neutral and one home umpire. Apart from ICC events

Total bull IMO, at least have the home umpire as the square leg or third umpire, giving him the main job is just moronic IMO, I mean really? In 2015 we have a major sport relying on home umpiring? Laughable. Especially when this series has massive ramifications for our rankings.

Zimbabwe 200/4 after 39.3. Should win from here

 

[#GreenRoars]

Game is pretty much balanced
