Intro:

Reaction from Brisbane, after Pakistan registered their first win at the Cricket World Cup, a tense 20-run victory over Zimbabwe

Script:

SOUNDBITE (English) Brendan Taylor, Zimbabwe wicketkeeper-batsman: (on his 54-run partnership with Sean Williams)

"Yeah, I think we both felt we were cruising nicely. But again, we found ways to get out at crucial periods. Some soft dismissals as well, so... that's been a major downfall for us in the last four games. Crucial periods, when batters have needed to get through those initial periods and finding ways to get out. It's not helping the team's cause, but that's the way it goes, I guess."

SOUNDBITE (English) Brendan Taylor, Zimbabwe wicketkeeper-batsman: (on whether Zimbabwe were looking at this match in particular to register a win)

"Absolutely. We certainly did target this match and we felt that half the job was done particularly well, restricting them to 235. But they came out in the first fifteen overs and made it pretty difficult for us, bowled some heavy balls and it was difficult to score. It needed a partnership and unfortunately, 50s or 30 partnerships, they are not going to get you over the line, so it was extremely difficult to comprehend, this loss."

SOUNDBITE (English) Brendan Taylor, Zimbabwe wicketkeeper-batsman: (on the injury to skipper Elton Chigumbura during the Pakistan innings)

"I guess no team wants to be in that situation. Unfortunately, we can't control certain things. Just all we can wish for is a speedy recovery and you know, there were some senior heads out there, we managed to keep the game moving forward. There were some constructive decisions made at the time, but yeah, we hope he's well because he's very important for us at the end of the innings and you know, if he was a little bit fitter, and batting with someone who was just keeping the scoreboard ticking, there's a good chance we could have got over that line."
