Needing 15 from 36 balls with four wickets remaining the Zimbabweans really screwed up, no wonder Kevin Curran looked so unhappy at the end. What Gary Brent was doing when he batted I'll never know, as one of gthe more experienced members of the side he ought to have known how to see it through. The Irish got a big slice of luck with the run out of Brendan Taylor but then turned the screws on the Zimbos who looked like they'd never closed off a game before. I found it strange that none of numbers eight, nine or ten were actually out playing proper attacking shots, they all looked like startled rabbits. Felt so sorry to Matsikenyeri who has obvious talent.
