Unfortunately, in the past two years he has, almost always, underperformed.
Factually incorrect.
Comparing to the Raza of 3-4 years ago, my sentence is (factually) correct.

Re: T20 Africa Qualifiers

Raza becoming a liability. Age has caught up to him. (Unfortunately) it's true. Zimbabwe has to be enormously grateful to Raza for all he has done, on several occasions. Unfortunately, in the past two years he has, almost always, underperformed. Problem is: this Raza is still better than more than ...

Re: Namibia T20 Series (3 T20s 15th - 18th September 2025)

Well not really. Big question marks over BT, Wellie and Blessing. Blessing is a shadow of his former self, looks completely disinterested as well. A mediocre Blessing is still going to trouble these teams next week though. Hopefully Taylor improves as he goes, but he's looking pretty dodgy, but it ...

Re: Sri Lanka vs Zimbabwe T20

Definitely a good innings by Zimbabwe.

Too bad the clumsy wickets by Burl, Bennet and Musekiwa.

Anyhow, the overall batting performance has been one of the best in recent times.

Let's hope for an effective bowling now.

Whose cereal did Evan’s piss in https://cricketafrica.org/pressure-mounts-on-underperforming-all-rounder-brad-evans/ No wonder nothing changes. What a shit article. Went to re-read this disgusting thing and lo and behold it has been changed. The Hellenic stuff about Craig Evans, I'm guessing suppli...

How many consecutive defeats across formats is that now? :lol:

At least we've been competitive in this series!
Yes. Two tight losses. it could have been two wins with a little of luck.
Nothinng comparable to the heavy losses in recent Test matches.

Re: Zimbabwe vs New Zealand | Test Series | Second Test | 07 August 2025 - 11 August 2025

I think at full strength and with some sensible tactical decisions we will beat Ireland. They need to organise a 3 test match series against them instead of this. We need a new captain In the meantime they are discussing whether to have a WTC in two tiers or not, with promotion and relegation Two t...

Re: Zimbabwe vs New Zealand | Test Series | Second Test | 07 August 2025 - 11 August 2025

How disappointing. I really don't know what to say anymore other than we just aren't good enough. Yeah the bowling is good but its not that good. Gotta be more positive plus play with more smarts like slow the game down for fuck sake. How the fuck do you let a team bowl 29 overs in the 1st session ...

Re: Zimbabwe vs New Zealand | Test Series | First Test | 30 July 2025 - 03 August 2025

Taylor comes in for Vincent. Raza is the spinner. Zimbabwe cricket has to be forever thankful to Raza. However it's time to turn page. My opinion is that by now he lacks motivation to play for the national squad. Almost all his latest appearaces have been much below par. It's time to give chance to...
