ZIMBABWE vs AUSTRALIA, 2003 WC POOL MATCH

[shadowzone69]

Douglas Hondo taught me how to bowl.... no wonder I have a back injury

[aiser009]

brett lee..... FUCK

[matto2008]

i remember andy blignaut innings where he smashed 54 of 28 balls. good display of power hitting.

A shame he is not playing anymore

[74coolkk]

seeing gillespie bowl 92mph for the first time......

[gorgorothpa]

it's mad seeing symonds and gillepse with short hair

[dilogi]

well they both have short hair now...

[skiiPARK]

[kswiss250]

DION EBRAHIM IS MY COUSIN :D

[moonruners5]

i lov australia they r the best

[noufalshaw23]

i am a great fan of zimbabwe..those earlier days. the only match i cried ever was when they lost to new zealand in the mini world cup....

[bulllsize]

Doug MARILLIER

was the real inventor of all these reverse scoop shots not Dilshan or Ashraful or MisbAH

[ironandsteel67]

k maybe they weren't world champion material team back then but they were capable of holding there own against the world champs n still provide enteraning cricket...without it being a one-sided contest

[rithemaz]

they will come back a good team, they just need a stable cricket infrastructure

[IanGorton]

Sad thing is at this point in time Zimbabwe still had a very competitive team

[irvin2cartel]

i still remember going to watch these matches man, harare and bulawayo. Thos were the days. Hope zimbabwe improves.

[gopidravid]

they had many match winners back then, Flower bros, marillier, blignaut e.t.c

[joshuatreebje]

Yeah I remember watching this game, Blignauts innings was exciting to watch. He did bugger all for the rest of his career though!!

[Grummski]

couldn't even get a game for Tassie when he came here a few years back. Though he did have his injury problems

[GoTheUnderdog99]

Yeah, Blignaut was struggling to make the New Town 2nd XI (A TCA Grade Cricket team)!

[GoTheUnderdog99]

why was this given the thumbs down.

Blignaut literally did play for the New Town 2nd XI!

[lukose2007]

Andy Blignaut was Very Lance Klusenerish !!

[323646737]

246 against australia...i miss that zimbabwe team..even though m n indian.

[iceborn21]

Isnt it such a pity that the Zimbabwean cricket team is the way it is today. If you combined the Zim team of the 99 world cup and the 2003 world cup you would have a team that I really think could beat any nation.. or at least put up one hell of a fight. Neil Johnson, Andy Flower, Heath Streak, Whittall, Olonga, Hondo, Carlisle, Blignaut, Taibu, Price, the Strangs, Ervine, Goodwin.. a full strength Zimbabwe team would throw punch 4 punch even in test cricket.. im sure of it.

[adnankamal7]

yeah i really feel sorry for the zimbabwean cricketer who done alot but got noting i am a pakistani but belive me i was bigger fan of zimbabwe than my own team

[taitleshang]

Wha do you mean "beat any nation"? let statistics do the talking and they'l tell you these guys were not world beaters at all but general strugglers. Save for Andy Flower, the rest of these guys were sinkers...

[gorgorothpa]

anyone remember when ireland drew with them and then beat pakistan?

great days, r zimbabwe still a test team, if not can ireland or holland or someone take their place?

i dont like all the anti-white stuff that goes on(anthony ireland) but i have a lot of respect for zimbabwe cricket, prosper utasya and that dude with the dreads

[rithemaz]

no they're not a test team, they can't play test cricket because according to the ICC zimbabwe isn't test cricket standard

[riqelme]

neil johnson cud win a match single handedly

[tmpass321]

I agree..

[englishcricketer]

The 99' World Cup Zimbabwe could dismantle any team. They truly did punch above their weight on every occassion.

[RagavM]

where is sean ervine now?? did he retire

and yea wat abt bignaut... dam, they were one of my favorites

[MHJanson]

Ervine played for Western Australia (until the end of the last season) and Hampshire, and is now eligible to play for England.

[salaraamir]

@RagavM bro all were askd 2 leave the team

[feelingfab]

great suck a dick

[Lankyneptune]

im zimbabwein

[mricky07]

well pay back is a bitch!

[tafa75]

This was the best team why zim destroy their team even though they loose it just a matter of you cant win everyday but it was better team

[randomstevo]

if you look at the zimbabwe team it's quite a good 1 with the flower brothers in streak,murray,blignaut,wishart and so on and now well they aint got any names and there team is very weak.

[always4u4ever4ever]

The Best Zimbawean Line up was in The '99-2000:

Neil Johnson Grant Flower Murray Goodwin Alistair Campbell Andy Flower Stuart Carlistle Paul Strang Guy Whittall Andy Blignaut Heath Streak Henry Olanga!!!!

[qpr22]

I love Brad Hogg's flipper at 02:03.

[Grummski]

I remember seeing this game.

Gotta love Blignaut's knock

[sandyjune1988]

What a pity that the Zimbabwean team has lost so much talent ... Just think about the 1999 Zimbabwean team .. There were classy guys like Neil Johnson, Murray Goodwin, Grant Flower ... Their current team is worse than Bangladesh

[studd316]

yea the 1999 team was great. one of the better one day teams at the time. its sad how far they have fallen

[jumpnjza2]

AGREED...

[coolanin7]

i agree

[nskaile]

ANDY FLOWER WAS A CLASS PLAYER! but its sad tht most ppl forgot about him! b/w this is comin from a non zimbabwein!!

[IanGorton]

Yeah he would've been good enough to play for South Africa (The country of his birth)

[wilsobomber]

notice what Brett Lee says after he has caught Andy Blignaut? haha

[ImSoNang]

he was so surprised he was like "FUCK!"

[IanGorton]

Yeah I think he got more than he bargined for. I think he was simply trying not to cop teh ball in the face and it stuck in his hands
