That's a lot of half centuries from a Zimbabwean perspective isn't it, I didn't know he's had that may, with only 1 century.
These two really need to bat through to over 45.Yeah, Williams gets to 50 more often than anyone else, just doesn't go on. To be fair to him he is often low down the order and no one is left. Andy Flower only managed 4 100s to go with his 55 half centuriessloandog wrote: ↑Fri Oct 26, 2018 10:17 amThat's a lot of half centuries from a Zimbabwean perspective isn't it, I didn't know he's had that may, with only 1 century.
High time he makes the step up now. He's come into his own this series and the series against South Africa, hasn't he.
Brilliant reverse sweep from Taylor too.
Agreed mate but by that time Zimbabwe need to groom some youngsters who can take their positions. I think the likes of Burl, Muskanda, K-long, Murray... They aren't that bad.. Moor will be around... Need to be groomed.sloandog wrote: ↑Fri Oct 26, 2018 10:11 amYea he looked a bit scratchy in the last ODI, I think, but he still did a good job of sticking around. I would love Sean to get a ton today - a really talented cricketer and we're very lucky to have him.
I think people on this forum need to appreciate these guys while we still have them; one day they'll be gone, like in the ODI series against Pakistan, and look how that turned out. They're gold dust to us, considering we have very few options to replace them for the foreseeable. When they're gone (when ever that will be) these kind of recovery knocks will be missed. Mazakadza has been really poor considering he is a, the skipper and b, opening the batting as a senior player.
Duck after duck is assumption. Hami got his start as a 17 year old, now you are being hesitant on letting other youngsters have the same opportunity. If he can produce consistent top scores above 30, he cements his spot. He isn't doing that, so time for the youngsters to be tested.
And I equally agree with you, but Williams and Taylor aren't the batters to be subsidised for the young lads. Zuwaho, Chibahba, Chigumbura and I hate to say it, but maybe soon to be Hamilton Mazakadza need to be cut. I've always stuck up for Hammie, but his scores of late, opening the batting, when we needed some seniority and solidity up front, have been diabolical and his shots even worse. Ervine is falling into that category, but his technique is better than all of the above and has the natural ability to grind it out and score ugly runs. Plus, he's been solid in the longer format.
