Re: ZIM-BD-SL Tri Series 2018: Pre-series Discussion

Ervine definitely has a weakness to pace and edges behind frequently especially early on in his innings. They were showing stats yesterday and surprisingly, Taylor averages 44 vs spin and 33 vs pace. I don't know what the figures would be for other players, but I would hazard a guess that BT's 44 is...

Re: [Match Thread]: 2018 Tri-Series Match 2 | Zimbabwe vs Sri Lanka

This was a very important win. 2018 is important for teams to build form (which --> confidence) ahead of the 2019 WC and also to find your best combination and the unique style by which you will go about playing your cricket. Even more so for the sides that will be playing the WCQ in a few weeks tim...

Re: [Match Thread]: 2018 Tri-Series Match 2 | Zimbabwe vs Sri Lanka

Good single taken there. Need more of those. I feel the ZIM batters are a bit over-attacking at the moment. Can't get complacent.

Re: How other sides are shaping up before the World Cup Qualifiers 2018

I guess the way I look at it is that we are always playing teams better than us such that it makes us look like we are really terrible. That could actually serve as the indictment. I don't think anyone remembers what happened at Port Elizabeth except for ZIM fans (to agree with BRMT for once). Heck...

Re: [Match Thread]: 2018 Tri-Series Match 2 | Zimbabwe vs Sri Lanka

Also this is the 100th ODI to be played at the Sher e Bangla in Mirpur.

The debut match also featured Zimbabwe (vs Bangladesh) back in December 2006.

Overused venue, as its the world's fastest to 100 ODIs.

Re: ICC CWC Qualifiers announced

It's an ICC run event so they pretty much decide everything. Bulawayo is still a home crowd advantage. Yeah I think people have forgotten that a bit. Its not as if the ZC will be able to doctor pitches at HSC - and if they could, they could do the same at Queens. The ICC will take over pitch curati...

Re: [Match Thread]: 2018 Tri-Series Match 2 | Zimbabwe vs Sri Lanka

The visiting captain always calls, but in matchup of neutrals I'm not sure how it works. Either way it doesnt matter as the chance of calling correctly is always 50-50. Would be funny if they had a coin toss to see who calls the real toss. haha. ZIM were probably a bit jet lagged and rusty in the fi...

Re: How other sides are shaping up before the World Cup Qualifiers 2018

I personally think we are a better team than the Irish and on the same level with Afghanistan. It will be an interesting tournament for sure. The Irish were shit up until a couple months ago but have turned it on. Presumably for the WCQ. The last few series, the games they have won, they’ve been on...

Re: [Match Thread]: 2018 Tri-Series Match 1 | Zimbabwe vs Bangladesh

Yeah, I wouldn't say the SL pace battery has specially improved. Lakmal on song can be unplayable, but he he still has his off days. I would love to follow the fortunes of Chammeera. He has such a free-flowing and watchable bowling action. Hope injuries don't rob us of such an exciting talent. Othe...
