The philosophy is we'd lose anyway, so may as well lose by a bigger margin with our people. Hard to fault :lol:

Well it was a good game. Hopefully these kids will learn from SA and BD. Despite poor selection (as always), they need more competetive games before U19 WC.

If you have a bowler going at 9 runs per over and has bowled 8 wides then why on earth would he be getting a second spell in front of trying other bowlers. There is absolutely no game sense at all in the national teams representing Zimbabwe.

The scary part is that the captain at u19 does not make a single decision. He cannot wipe his nose without permission. Every bowling change, every single field set etc is shouted at him from the boundary. So the genius keeping this guy on is off the field :lol:

Zim have pulled this back really well.
Unfortunately we still have to bat. Let's hope...

Much better bowling performance from the lads, let's see how the batting has improved.

Great innings from Hlabangana. He's a decent player.

Our guys have no intent to win here, apart from Hlabangana, looks like theyre just trying to bat time. Very strange innings from Blignaut.
