Re: [MATCH THREAD] 2nd Test Afghanistan v Zimbabwe @Abu Dhabi

I know this goes against the opinion of much of the forum but I don't rate Burl. He is 26 and has not really done anything in international cricket apart from smash Shakib for a few boundaries. I have watched in the last year and he just wants to be a celebrity, not a hard working cricketer. Intere...

Good thing they decided to enforce a follow on. The pitch is still pretty good for batting if our batsmen show some application. If we can get a lead of 150-200, we could be in for a chance to win this.
My thoughts exactly.

Fear not! Regis "Davie Houghton" Chakabva is in! Lets get rid of that 266 Reggie! :)
He's not that far from breaking the record. Only 241 runs to go.

Re: [MATCH THREAD] 2nd Test Afghanistan v Zimbabwe @Abu Dhabi

We can blame Tari, Wes and Ryan, but for me the senior guys are supposed to show more responsibility. No idea why Wes is batting ahead of Raza and Burl ahead of Chakabva. You want your best batters up the order on a wicket like this. We should've gone with Prince Kasuza Williams Raza Tari Chakabva W...

Has Musakanda done enough to cement his place in the squad for now?

I would say yes.
Doesn't take much to cement a place in this team. Scoring the odd 40 every ten innings makes you star in this team.

Re: [MATCH THREAD] 2nd Test Afghanistan v Zimbabwe @Abu Dhabi

I will say this again and again Burl is out of depth, he is a Maruma type now A bit harsh but I get where you're coming from. Hard to defend the guy given he's had some opportunities and failed to capitalise. I agree with sloandog, there is talent there, but I am struggling to see how he can turn a...

Re: [MATCH THREAD] 2nd Test Afghanistan v Zimbabwe @Abu Dhabi

My god people on this forum are so negative. Okay Sean played a poor shot and Wez got a first pip, but this wicket is still excellent and we're playing Rashid Khan extremely well. Just need to build a partnership here and keep ticking the runs off. We bat deep here so I'm not hanging my head just y...

Re: [MATCH THREAD] 2nd Test Afghanistan v Zimbabwe @Abu Dhabi

Looks like we might be able to fit Ervine and Taylor in. If you think Madhevere is a talentless newbie sure. But you don't pick a youngster, give him a couple of games (only batted once in the first Test), and then discard him. Even less so, when you only play 4 or 5 Tests a year. You drop a Tiripa...

They are firmly in control now. It's not over though. Far from it.
