Harare Sports Club

Um, but yeah, we, we spent a lot of time in Harare, uh, as well, which was great.

And, uh, yeah, I, I was literally stayed in a hotel which was a five-minute walk from Harare Sports Club.

Uh, got in the night before the first game, um, uh, which was on the 15th.

Uh, we played the 15th, the 18th, the 20th, and then flew home and I got in late last night.

So I think that's, that's really exciting.

Um, I know everyone's buzzing in Zimbabwe for, um, for the World Cup.

But this three one day ser- three match, one day series against Australia, there was a real buzz and energy at Harare Sports Club and, um, it was, it was a fantastic atmosphere all three games.

Um, and look, they were entertained by some really good cricket.

Yeah, it was a remarkable sort of game because I...

I was listening to them at the toss and they were saying it's the second time that this pitch has been used and that at Harare Sports Club where the game was, which incidentally has held more one-dayers than any other venue in the world, which I certainly wouldn't have picked.

I suppose it's the only one where they ever hold them there in Zimbabwe pretty much, maybe the odd game in Bulawayo.

They said that it gets very tired in the second half of the match when it's being used for the second time.

That third one-day was completed on Sunday.

And that was at Harare Sports Club, all the three one-dayers were there between Zimbabwe and Australia, Australia getting the job done.

In that one, big thanks to Nathan Ellis, who scored plenty of runs late.

He hit a handy 36 not out, coming in at number nine to see Australia home in that series and see them through to a whitewash.

That will certainly give us something to argue about later on in the show.

And then, yeah, wrapping up the cricket at Harare Sports Club as...

Yup, the Chevrons, unfortunately, are really hot breaking yesterday.

The Netball World Cup, the gems.

And also aisa open chest-

... made for Harare Sports Club.

And, and why it, why it stood out was also because those around him had very classical actions also.

Actions.

Even though he's the size of a giant, he is, uh, still got plenty of years on his side.

Um, and just finally, Jack, I mean, before we sign off on that first game, it's great to see, um, the vibe and the atmosphere at the ground at the, the Harare Sports Club, isn't it? I mean, they cut to the crowd a few times, and there were...

It's genuinely like a full orchestra there.

You got horns and trumpets and trombones, tubas, the whole lot.

That one not far away from starting.

3.30, that ODI between Australia and Zimbabwe at Harare Sports Club.

So looking forward to seeing how that one plays out.

It could be updated throughout the afternoon on that game here on Sports Drive on 91.3 Sport FM.
