[Roofrom50]

Awsome story mate, keep up the good work. Zimbabwe playing well

 

[jdeus]

Cheers, it's tough though.

 

[Griffo]

what level are you playing on?

 

[jdeus]

Normal, I'll put up a screen shot if you'd like.

Zimbabwe vs India, 2nd ODI, 7th November 2005

A slight change to the line-up replacing keepers in order to score more runs from that position due to poor form.

A blistering performance from Ganguly (162*) left Zimbabwe wreeling as India power on to 289 for 2.
But in a miraculous turn of events this happened....

A blistering performance by Maungwa (120 off 99) helped push Zimbabwe to yet another ODI series victory with one game to go.

2-0 to Zimbabwe, yet another one in the bag!

Thanks surendar, I got bored with playing ICC05 for no reason and thought Id make it interesting with a story.

Seems its getting a few readers eh?


Zimbabwe vs India, 3rd ODI, 9th November 2005

Yet another change in the line-up, form based again, new bowler selected.

A good bowling performance from Zimbabwe restricts India and takes a few wickets.
But the batting leaves a lot to be desired given the previous game.

Zimbabwe had a good start but a shakey middle although towards the end made it ahead of the RR but simply ran out of wickets.

Another successful series for Zimbabwe.

A Test series draw and an ODI series victory.

Watch out soon as Zimbabwe go down under to face New Zealand in hope of repeating their home heroics.

 

[jdeus]

Here we are again as Zimbabwe tour New Zealand.

This is the squad I have taken.

Can New Zealand distill revenge on Zimbabwe??


Central Districts vs Zimbabwe, 3 Day Friendly, 10th December 2005

And heres the line-up,

A poor bowling display by Zimbabwe left a lot to be desired however the batting showed some promise and could leave them in good stead for a draw.

New Zealand vs Zimbabwe, 1st Test, 17th December 2005

Yet another slight tweak to the team, hopefully to aid both batting and bowling.

Well what a game of cricket! The first day saw rain, rued chances and eventually redemption.
By day 3 after an innings a piece only 42 runs seperated the teams, a close finale was in order.... or was it??
A monumentous bowling effort skittled Zimbabwe to 74-5, however a record breaking partnership by Vermeulen and Ewing of 192 set Zimbabwe up with a sizeable lead on the last day to try bowl New Zealand out.
Incredibly New Zealand suffered the same fate as Zimbabwe and fell to 77-5 before their dogged batting effort to save the game.
As the game drew deep into the last session New Zealand were 200-8 still needing 82 runs for victory, they defended stubbornly but couldn't stop the eventual defeat only 2.3 overs from safety.

Zim unlucky to lose agaisn't India but another 2 points in the ODI table and a solid test draw After this tour can you get a screenie of the points table?

 

[jdeus]

Sorry I was half way through the NZ match to see the comment.

I'll put it up after this series.

When I have even more points

 

[mattfb]

Lol i hope you do! You will probably go above England in the ODI'S soon.

 

[jdeus]

Actually I think England are like 5th!!!

So that would mean they have won some mathes!!

Have you read my NZ games above??
