Ended 180-3 Not often you see only 3 bowlers used and they all end up with an economy figure < 2 England on the other hand might struggle to win They are certainly going to struggle to draw! Zimbabwe V the Gambia 98 for 0 off 5.2 overs Could be on for 350 plus in 20 overs disaster only 201/3 in 13 overs that's 8 overs for 100 runs

Help, where am I going wrong? Dropped it from a foot high as advised. Smashed a hole through the dining room table, acid burning the floor tiles, SWMBO on the warpath....  I reckon a new battery for the car would have been cheaper. Reminded me of this: Scientists at Rolls Royce built a gun specifically to launch dead chickens at the windshields of airliners and military jets, all travelling at high velocity. The idea was to simulate the frequent incidents of collisions with airborne fowl to test the strength of the windshields. American engineers heard about the gun and were eager to test it on the windshields of their new high-speed trains. Arrangements were made and a gun was sent to the American engineers. When the gun was fired, the engineers watched in shock as the chicken hurled out of the barrel, crashed into the shatterproof shield, smashed it to smithereens, blasted through the control console, snapped the engineer's back-rest in two and embedded itself in the back wall of the cabin. The horrified engineers sent Rolls Royce the film of the disastrous results of the experiment, along with the designs of the windshield and begged the British scientists for suggestions.........? Rolls Royce responded with a one-line memo: 'Defrost the chicken.'

the reporter is showing they aren't much of a rural type though: "..The bull and three heifers arrived fit and healthy..." They might have been fit and healthy but if the cow gave birth to a bull she certainly wouldn't have been. I think more likely she gave birth to a bullock and three heifer calves.

Highest ever score in t20
biggest ever margin of victory
most 6's in an innings
Zimbabwe scored 3 times as many runs in 6's as Gambia scored in total
