Zimbabwe v New Zealand | 1st ODI | 2nd Aug, 2015 | Zimbabwe won by 7 wickets

[Sakss]

 

[Ottoman]

New Zeland are 86 for 2 in 22 Overs. Williamson 37 & Taylor on 16 are on the crease.

 

[MarkCooper]

Why are NZ not playing like they did in World Cup or against England and going after every bowler and playing aggressively?

 

[Bangladesh_Fan]

New Zealand 303/4 (50.0 ov)

Hundred from Ross Taylor, 97 from Williamson

 

[Ahson8]

Lost count of how many times Williamson has been dismissed in the nineties..

 

[Bangladesh_Fan]

Zimbabwe 31-0 after 6 overs. Good start

 

[Firebreaker]

Ross Taylor is such an annoying player

 

[Fahdi]

Williamson seems to have a bad habit of getting out in the 90s.

 

[Haroon786]

Zimababwe have a serious chance of winning this - only need 140 more runs in 20 overs with 9 wickets in hand.

 

[desi_launda]

Zimbabwe better not choke today

 

[Markhor]

Come on Zimbabwe don't choke in another run chase. Got a good foundation here.

 

[Captain_Obvious]

[MENTION=30287]Sakss[/MENTION] why not change New Zealand to Aortera in the thread title ??

 

[Firebreaker]

Ervine is an outstanding batsmen.He can find himself unlucky to be born in Zimbabwe

 

[Captain_Obvious]

Pitch is very flat compared to what it was when India played.

 

[m.shah]

Zimbabwe favourite here. But when are they choking in their usual way..

 

[FreakCricket]

 

[Ottoman]

I don't think this time Zimbabwe will panic. It can be their famous win.

 

[MarkCooper]

I love New Zealand. Come on NZ!

 

[Ottoman]

I love New Zealand. Come on NZ!

& I love ZIM. Come on Zim!

 

[m.shah]

What.... Chigumbara played a maiden at this stage.

 

[m.shah]

Zimbabwe choking again

 

[DRS]

I am curious to know whether series victory vs new Zealand would have any impact on champions league qualification?

 

[MarkCooper]

The champions league has been cancelled

 

[MarkCooper]

10 from the over!

 

[m.shah]

Chigumbara 10 runs from 22 balls.. Get out man

 

[Executioner]

WTH Chiggy 16 from 25.


COMEON ZIMBABWE COME ON!

 

[Markhor]

Its Zimbabwe's to win, need 56 off the last 6 overs.

 

[Markhor]

Good six from Elton. Ervine on 96.

 

[m.shah]

44 from 30 required.. ND chigumbara gone

 

[Haroon786]

Just need a couple of good overs out of the 5 to win here.

 

[cricfan967]

Game on, Zimbos really shouldnt lose from here

Taylor played a innings.

 

[Ahson8]

Zimbabwe choking again.

 

[Executioner]

zimbabwe trying to choke themselves again!

 

[Markhor]

Some good overs from NZ. Zimbabwe could have brought Raza in before Williams.

100 for Ervine - great knock !

 

[MarkCooper]

NZ should not have rested their best players! RIDICULOUS

 

[cricfan967]

Ridiculous thinking by Zimbabwe. They had seven wickets in hand and still took their sweet time.

[Markhor]

Wide then edged for four ! Great over for Zimbabwe.

 

[cricfan967]

Great over, should be a wrap

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Go zimbabwe

 

[MSaad1237]

Wow , 16 required off 12 balls, 7 wickets in hand .Zimbabwe got this in bag.

 

[Executioner]

great over for Zim

 

[Markhor]

18 off that Matt Henry over. Jimmy Neesham back on now. Zimbabwe need 16 off 12...where's Anwar Ali when you need him ?

 

[Stallion__]

Poor over from Henry.

Excellent knock by Ervine. First time he has been tried at number 3 and it paid off.

 

[Strike Rate]

What a shot that was! brilliant! mind blowing

 

[Syed2015]

What a shot!

 

[Markhor]

Craig Ervine's been outstanding. Great boundary ! Nearly there now Zimbos. Come on now, erase the ghosts of the past.

 

[Strike Rate]

wow so Zimbabwe wins it! 1 needed in 6 balls

Good job Zimboks!

 

[Markhor]

Oh what a six ! WHAT A SIX. Craig Ervine you absolute legend. Just 1 to win now.

 

[Syed2015]

What an inning by Ervine! Six!

 

[Strike Rate]

Time for Zimbos to win a series against a top nation.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Well done zimbabwe. Lol at england calling that odi series the best ever. Even zim can beat nz.

 

[Strike Rate]

Imagine Taylor still playing for this Zimbo team and that pacer i forgot his name (he left for england). This team can become a very very good LOI unit.

 

[Executioner]

it is now beyond zimbabwe to lose here, literally

 

[Markhor]

NZ's bowling depth outside Boult, Southee and Milne is a worry.

 

[Strike Rate]

Well done zimbabwe. Lol at england calling that odi series the best ever. Even zim can beat nz.

i hope they will win the series now!

 

[Markhor]

Zimbabwe win with a wide !

Win by 7 wickets, a fantastic run chase. Well done lads, go and win the series now.

This is what regular cricket against top sides will do, you improve with the experience which Zimbabwe simply haven't had enough of.

 

[Syed2015]

Famous win for Zimbabwe, beating the world-cup finalist!

 

[leatherface58]

Well played Zimbabwe.

Embarrassing bowling. Rosco needs to be booted for his horrible selfish knocks.

 

[Haroon786]

Brilliant win for Zimbabwe and what an innings by Ervine.

 

[Executioner]

lol and a wide, great victory for Zimbabwe, wah wah!

 

[Executioner]

Well played Zimbabwe.

Embarrassing bowling. Rosco needs to be booted for his horrible selfish knocks.

ditto, ross taylor plays some of the most selfish knocks. 303/4 in 50 overs is a farce these days, the minimum you should get was 325 after losing only 4 wickets

 

[Firebreaker]

I guess there was a thread that Zimbos should be relieved of their full membership

 

[Ahson8]

Happy for them. Played really well

 

[Firebreaker]

That's why the touring sides and Pakistan should play us once in every tour

Taylor and Jarvis

Ballance as well

 

[Thivagar]

Time for him to get a country contract and get the hell out of Zimbabwe.

 

[Thivagar]

How popular is cricket in Zimbabwe ? Are more youngsters taking up cricket or is it on the decline ? Anyone ?

Well just by watching this there was a capacity black crowd watching the match.

So it's expanding from the traditional white base.

 

[Strike Rate]

Taylor and Jarvis

Ballance as well

Yea Jarvis he was a good talent and left so early. Did ballance played for Zimbabwe u19?

Yes. Also played in the Zimbo FC competition

 

[MSaad1237]

Congrats Zimbabwe !

 

[The_KING]

Congrats Zimbabwe. So delighted for them. Thankfully they didn't choke away this match.

 

[Smbhayi]

Congrats Zim... Just shows how good are Indians TTF XI

 

[#GreenRoars]

Go zimbabwe

Indian team was better than NZ team
Splendid performance by Zimbabwe, they are improving

 

[hadi123]

Yes Zimbabwe! They should have won against India too in the first ODI. Hopefully they wrap up this series tomorrow. Will watch highlights later

 

[BD-fan]

Congrats Zim. Well deserved after so many near misses.
