Well that will just about do me.

I knwo he scored slowly, but he did reach 30, which is more than can be said for most of the other batsmen. Zim had lost early wickets and he settled things, as he has done so many times in the past. I suspect he was just about to get into full cry as well. A similar innings, which ended in a century, against Australia A a while back when he opened springs to mind.

Disgraceful decision again.

And, contrary to popular belief, these bad selection by Zimbabwe are no longer motivated by race. They are just BAD decisions. They dont appear to biased, just rediculous. He has been replaced by Sean Williams, and while Williams is a promising young batsman, there is no way he is better than Carlisle at this stage of his development. Furthermore, it means Sibanda will now open the batting.

Streak has also pulled out of the match with injury.

Masakadza has been recalled for Chibhabba, which is the only good news, really.
