Think he can play but would be a good 5 or 6

I think he has to be at four. Too slow to get off the mark to bat lower, but I don't think he's suited to three or opening.

Cop that Stretch, bludgeoned for 4.

From memory he was a part-timer early in his career.
So Zimboks basically only have to beat the UAE and not get smashed by the Windies to qualify?

You’re assuming they win this, then yes you are correct

Yep, but they have Windows first, and given how uncomfortable the latter looked against spin on the same ground, I'd say they'd be very keen to finish off their competition once and for all.

Of course Cremer brings himself on at the golf course end.
I'm still really hoping Scotland and Zimbabwe make it. If one of them beat the Windies it can certainly happen.

Wait. If Scotland beat Afghanistan, and Windows beat Scotland, and Zimbabwe does the above, they may still miss out

Graeme Cremer is a great leg-spinner and I wish he got to play more cricket.

Stirling defends the ball to nowhere in particularly, considers running then decides its worth it (it wasn't), Wilson immediately calls 'no run' but sees Stirling coming down, starts taking two big steps slowly then decides its not worth it and stays down his end, Stirling then has to turn himself around and falls short. Just silly.
This is bad by Ireland. Their bowlers set this up pretty well but nobody has batted sensible.

Zimbabwe has to be favourites to win the whole thing by now? Spin is clearly a bigger factor the later the tournament goes on, Group A had next to no spin which means the Windows weren't tested against it.

They could've bowled them out for a lot less.
Yeah true but they also should chse down 211.

I would've been surprised if they did. 150, sure, but Zimbabwe bowling second on this pitch against this Irish batting line-up?
To be fair he has played a fair bit recently with over the past six months or so Zimbabwe being pretty busy schedule wise. But yeah a terrific bowler, always impressed at how economical he is for an attacking leggie.
Legend of Raza continues to grow too, consistently it seems to be him who's the guy in the Zimbabwean team who deals the winning hand.
Tough for the Irish to make it now given the form of the teams ahead of them which is a shame as they have contributed substantially to the past three world cups but I guess just a product of this type of qualification series.

This tournament could be over in the next two matches. Scotland and Zimbabwe win their next matches and they’ve qualified
