Schedule

I think South Africa will crush Zimbabwe in the three match series. They're just a better team, and with people still refusing to play for Zimbabwe I think this could be a one sided series from the first ball

Makes sense. A two match ODI series sounds kind of dumb to be honest.

 

[Afridi no 1]

this series will improve Zimbabwe before the ICC champions trophy....

 

[F4rrukh]

Definately Afridi no 1, this is a great chance for the Zimos to practice and get ready for the ICC Champions Trophy. South Africa are kind of fit, this wil be an extra practice for them i say..

bad start to this tour for zimbabwe

 

[aussie1st]

Sadly the series will be no different. Zimbabwe batted way too slow though and then the Eagles top 3 took them apart.

 

[andrew_nixon]

Zimbabwe actually started pretty well, with them at 79/2 from 11 overs when Duffin got out. But no-one other than their top three got into dpuble figures. Useless really. Although the Netherlands conceded a world record score in their 1st ODI against Sri Lanka back in July, they didn't disgrace themselves with their batting like this.

 

[aussie1st]

Thats one thing I noticed from the scorecard. Quite a collapse, on par with the Windies one a few days ago but Zimbabwe have the excuse that this was a 20/20 game.
