We def Zimbabwe by a few runs.
Did anyone see the paper about the guy from Bramuda who got 2/32 of 10 against England including KP. Still lost by over 200.

I'm sure the Kiwi's were taking the game very seriously too :roll: South Africa were lucky to beat Ireland after being 8/90 odd. They still only managed 194 thanks to Andrew Hall. I don't think they'd be panicking though.

Bangladesh aren't that bad. They beat Australia in a game more serious than this one. Wouldn't surprise me if they made the Super 8's. While they aren't quite up there with the top 8 nations, they are a class above the rest of the minnows IMO.

The results of the world cup warm up games are about as
relevent as the results of the NAB cup matches in AFL.
They mean Jack Shit.

AUS still struggling with the ball, Zimbabwe batted out there 50 overs and were only 7 wkts down.
Still concerns there when we come up against a quaility side !!!!

Yes, it's similar to the NAB Cup in a way. The poor old lower teams can't take a break. If they win it doesn't mean anything, and if they lose it's an indication they will have a poor season.
