8th Match - United Arab Emirates v Zimbabwe

[Prince EWS]

It's almost like Brendan Taylor can't bend down any more. Do Zimbabwe have another keeper in the squad?

They have another keeper actually playing in this game. He's definitely better than Taylor too; keeps in Tests sometimes at all. Weird that he's not keeping today.

 

[Athlai]

This is enough runs I think. Advantage UAE. 60/40

 

[silentstriker]

That, and the fact that every strong Associate performance makes the ICC look daft.

Yea, that's a good rule. When in doubt root for the team that makes ICC look like the myopic greedy oligarchy that it is.

 

[Burgey]

Well that's a decent total. Should still be chased down pretty well you'd think.

 

[Spikey]

Solomon didn't call the pitch two paced.

 

[ajdude]

Sorry, just hoping to annoy him with his Google alert thing.

just put him in your signature Burgey. good intentions though

 

[ajdude]

I've had it up to here with Crash Craddock, we want ICC cricket 360. say it with me guys

 

[morgieb]

What's the UAE's bowling like?

 

[smalishah84]

that ain't a bad total

 

[_Ed_]

Tidy start from the bowlers as well.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

this javed bloke has a very old fashioned action

 

[Swingpanzee]

good disciplined bowling, no real bad balls. Not bad at all.

 

[Athlai]

Don't get too excited lad, this Zimbabwean opening pair is rubbish. They needed early wickets.

 

[anil1405]

Amjad Javed's action has a slight resemblance of Dominic Cork at the point of delivery except that Javed is putting in extra effort to bowl at 130 odd while Cork use to release the ball with ease.

At his pace (125-130kmph) Javed is likely to go for runs if he doesn't maintain good line and length.

 

[smalishah84]

Pakistan can definitely do with the zimbo openers. Seem like a big step up from the likes of Nasir Jamshed and Younis Khan

Zimbabwe's openers are their biggest weakness aside from their death bowling. Chakabva averages 16 in ODIs; he makes Younis and Jamshed look like Tendulkar and Ganguly.

 

[_Ed_]

Wheels are coming off for the UAE bowlers now, they've fallen away badly after such a tight start.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

is aziz gonna tell jokes to get the batsmen out?

Let me check how much younis averages as an opener and get back to you.
