Zim did remarkably well.... possibly will win today. Well done.

BANFAN · #**103** June 20, 2012, 08:49 AM

SA giving some practice to their middle and lower order.

Zim is playing well. They played well in the first match too. So all credits to them. But I also feel SA is not taking the whole series seriously.

match fixing

peterson going out and there and thinking theyre playing test cricket. haha i can only imagine the critisiscm a BD cricketer would get if he just played like that :P

Habib · #**106** June 20, 2012, 08:53 AM

BTW, does anyone know if Tamim would be available for our next match?

kiwibd · #**107** June 20, 2012, 08:54 AM

but seriously... 2 leaves and 2 blocks when they need over 10s? what the flip

Roni_uk · #**108** June 20, 2012, 08:54 AM

Antora · #**109** June 20, 2012, 08:55 AM

Sadly for Zim, this is not an "official" match

I find it a bit funny TBH. Even if they become champion, won't mean much. Lol I won't be too disappointed if we don't reach the final.

As long as we win the next two games the series will be a success for us, doesn't matter if we play in the final or not. The real deal is the WT20 in Sri Lanka and all these matches are practice for that. No one will remember what happened in this tournament in a year's time.

Naimul_Hd · #**112** June 20, 2012, 09:08 AM

Shameful performance by SA to say the least.

don't worry, no one even remembers that we beat Australia, England, SA, WI, India, SL ...

congrats to Zimbabwe who have prepared well and performed in every game. 4 out of 4 so far from them.

Kohli_Sox · #**115** June 20, 2012, 09:11 AM

Just goes to show the improvement of Zimbabwe by leaps and bounce. Why can't we learn a thing or two from ZImbabwe? Zimbabwe plays as a unit rather than depending on two big names. When we will learn to play as a unit? We can't even beat this mediocre South Africa team which are playing very poorly in long long time. No excuse for anything just lack of application from our boys; lack of proper planning; and seriously Mushfiq needs to be more good at rotation of bowlers. Scream less please from behind the stumps rather "think" more. Honestly very disappointing series.

kiwibd · #**116** June 20, 2012, 09:15 AM

wait the big question is, have SA stopped zimbabwe from getting the bonus point?

give our lads a fair trial before finding them guilty, still 2 games to go, they might make us proud yet

Does it even matter ? Can't see us winning rest of the matches.

Roni_uk · #**119** June 20, 2012, 09:18 AM

Well done Zimbabwe!!!

roman · #**120** June 20, 2012, 09:19 AM

Very well done Zimb..That was an outstanding performance. They have pretty much kicked us out of the tournament now. We only have ourselves to blame. Hope our players watched this game and learned how to play T20..

People still worry about BONUS points - LOL

Habib · #**123** June 20, 2012, 09:26 AM

Couldn't care less about bonus point. Just win the next 2 games. If not get your a*# back to BD and practice hard before the Europe tour. I'm not exactly dying to win the trophy (is there even one) for this series.

BANFAN · #**124** June 20, 2012, 09:27 AM

SA took too much risks by trying to test their middle and lower middle...plan didn't workout...

BANFAN · #**125** June 20, 2012, 09:28 AM

Well played Zim bros
