Vitori sparkles, Elton disappoints again

arm fast medium bowler has the attributes most coaches dream of.
Yes it is true that his international debut, at both Test and One-Day has been close to fairy-tale, but what people need to understand is the hardwork this young man puts in.
Be it in the off-season, before matches and even during matches, he works really hard.

The biggest fear and worry is that in his enthusiasm, desire and passion to get wickets, he may suffer an injury which would be nothing short of heartbreaking for himself as well as cricket lovers who have already granted Vitori full hero status.
Prosper Utseya deserves a special mention, and pat on the back, for reaching 100 wickets in One-Day Internationals when he dismissed Mushfiqur Rahim at a very crucial time in the Bangladeshi innings.

Elton Chigumbura showed worrying signs of returning to the slump that saw first his bowling and then his batting take a terrible dip.
Hearts would have been in mouths when Shakib brought himself and Zimbabwe’s long time nemesis Abdur Razzak into the attack as early as the fourth and fifth overs.

A decision which was immediatly vindicated when Shakib sneaked through Taylor’s defence and sent Zimbabwe’s form batsman back to the dressing room.
Vusi Sibanda and Hamilton Masakadza looked as if they would steer Zimbabwe to an emphatic victory before Masakadza’s demise led to a mini-slump with Tatenda Taibu been cleaned up by an absolute beauty from Rubel Hossain.

Vusi Sibanda, will be kicking himself black and blue for missing out on a century, which had been presented to him on a platter.
But a misjudgment of pace and length saw this highly talented but frustrating player give it away.
Elton Chigumbura’s hit and miss form with both bat and ball must surely be a concern for the selectors as they will be hoping for a much better performance from their middle order who very nearly lost the

match had it not been for a cool, calm and collective display from Forster Mutizwa whose 53 ball innings of 27 not out guided Zimbabwe to what should have been a comfortable win.
