Opening post

Craig Ervine won the toss and Zimbabwe will be fielding.

Chivanga seems to hit the pitch hard at times, which helps him extract bounce.

Tiripano leaking a lot of runs here. :cry:
Veteran
Speed gun is broke it says Tiripano is bowling 132. It has done that twice :o

Who are the two big white guys in full military gear sitting in the Centurion? 😂

Also there looks to be a lot of Asians in - is there a secret Afghan refugee community in Harare now?

I've failed with the livestream.

Have ZBC on in the background in the vain hope one of them pitches up to work.

You could use them for riot control.

A loudspeaker on the back of a truck playing a ZBC program would be waaay more effective than a water cannon or an overzealous soldier spraying live rounds.

Fair play to Ervine for keeping the field up rather than giving away easy singles.

That's yet another pet peeve. A community that lives within a country for at least 2 generations or more yet supporting the opposing team.

In Hindsight Evans was a better choice than tiripano

Donald Tiripano 134.6….. what the f***
ZCF Hall of Famer
There's no way he's the same pace as Chivanga and Muzarabani 😂
ZCF Hall of Famer
They've obviously given up completely on ZBC 😂 They've started streaming on YouTube now

Hindsight?

The selection I have a snag with is chivanga ahead of Evans. That's just politics.

Whatever score Afghanistan post it's likely that Chivanga will bat 😂 Evans can bat a bit.

Lol even Burl is getting some turn. Their spinners will be unplayable later 😂
the quality of this stream even though its very late is excellent

The number on the speed gun alone is not the best indicator of how difficult a batsman finds it to play a bowler. Muzarabani and Chivanga hit the pitch hard, and Tiripano does not, so he doesn't get that extra zip off the deck.

Our biggest rivalry is probably Afghanistan, theyve had a few disparaging things to say about us over the years. This is an important series.

I've always thought Burl gets turn?

He could actually be a good leggie if he worked at it.
