Looking forward to the first game before I go to the WBBL tonight

Let's hope Adelaide Oval don't cheap out on the country name plates at the top of the scoreboard (like they did in the 2015 World Cup, and generally have done with the BBL)

EDIT: And it looks like they've cheaped out again - no country name plates at the top of the scoreboard

 

[NYRB]

Dutch all over Zimbabwe early here

 

[NYRB]

2 consecutive drops off Chakabva

 

[NYRB]

No 3rd time lucky for Chakabva surely

 

[NYRB]

Now Zimbabwe are in all sorts of bother . Glover deserved that wicket

 

[Plugger35]

A terrible start for Zimbabwe, they will need a good partnership from Williams and Raza now to get to a decent total.

 

[NYRB]

back to back boundaries from Raza

 

[NYRB]

69 metres hit

 

[NYRB]

Raza has his eyes on those 56 metre square boundaries in Adelaide

 

[NYRB]

Williams has to go now . O'Dowd doesnt drop those

 

[NYRB]

van Meekeren with 26/3 after 3

 

[NYRB]

Is it just me or does van Beek look a bit like Tom Lynch from Richmond, except a bit chubbier?

 

[NYRB]

What was Shumba thinking?

 

[the_interloper]

Zimbos in deep poo now, this game is going to get boring now

 

[NYRB]

Surely Zimbabwe should just look to bat around Raza now? 77/5 with 46 balls left in the innings.

Would be criminal not to bat the full allocation of 120 balls

 

[Jamurp]

This is really poor from Zimbabwe, NED probably one of the weakest teams in the tournament, too much left for Raza.

 

[NYRB]

i dont think the wicket has too many demons in it.

 

[NSWCROW]

METTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

 

[NYRB]

wowwwwie

double decker from Sikandar Raza

 

[NYRB]

98 metres if you dont mind

 

[NYRB]

Ricky Ponting his hero would have been proud of that one.

 

[Jamurp]

Wonder if an IPL or BBL side with pick up Raza, dude is seriously talented.

 

[NYRB]

Classical drive from Raza
