Atleast they performed well in bowling and fielding department

zim definetely should have won that game.

 

[squiz]

yup at 5/17 there were in a good position

 

[sachin.tk]

i think they should open the batting with titenda taibu and heath streak. :

 

[nikhilverma]

yeah they performed brilliantly well and provided some respect to the zimbabwe

i dont think zim wud even win a game if the target was 145
They dont know how to win
In my book,they are on par with kenya

good joke

Olonga and Andy Flower quitting has really made Zim a lot weaker than they already were. Its a shame that 2 fine players had to leave in such a way.

but they still have good players like grant flower and streak.

But it seems like Grant Flower is losing his touch without his brother

i mean come on everybody knows this is a two team odi series but give zim the credit...they have been playing fantasticly as of late, by almost winning a test and odi series against the windies. Then they held aus to 225, perosnally i feel aus should have made 250....there batting tends to collaspe but come on what od u expect from number 9....they have played phenomal cricket for their standards and I think they will beat india once in this tourney. India have lost to zim before becuase of laziness and so on...it doesn mattetr even if it is this current team, i feel zim will win one atleast but the finals are obvious enough.

I thought the Aussie's were gonna throw the match on purpose (after seeing them bat) so that Zimbabwae could get the points and be in front of India and have a shot at being in the final (still a long way away though) which the Aussie's would win alot more easily than if they played India.....

I remember the VB series last year when Sri Lanka and England were on the same amount of points and Sri Lanka just beat Australia and were looking good and when Australia played England (final pool match) and England were out for 150 and Australia took 47 overs to win so that England got the one point (Aus not getting the runs in 40 overs which they should of) for them to go into the finals and guys like Bevan got 30 of 90 balls and batted very slowy.

If anyone agrees that Australia may do something like that to get Zim' into finals please reply.

I do agree with snoop dizzle. Thats why india will need to play exceptionally well and thrash Zim in every match.
