[WT20 Match Thread] Netherlands v Zimbabwe

[Ming]

Got 'im...well done Mshangwe

Boy, that turned and bounced.

How many batsmen has Hamilton hit before in his career.

No need to bowl Hamilton there, Williams can finish his overs

He does, which means one of Utseya, Panyangara and Chatara will not bowl his quota. Sometimes I wonder what Taylor is thinking.

Its better to have options just in case Panyangara or Chatara have a bad over he can take them off …..

Tom Cooper must now be "The Best Associate Player not called upon by his native Test playing country", surely.

In hindsight it would have been better to give Chatara the extra over.

To be honest I didn't agree with the tactics of bowling Williams and Mushangwe in the middle overs. At 4/38 it would have been better to keep applying pressure and nip out a few extra wickets.

BRMT kept Utseya on for an extra over when he thought the Dutch were on the ropes and he got the wicket of Borren. By doing that he left himself without many options plus Mushangwe and Williams were bowling well so i think BRMT has done a good job today …..

[foreignfield]

Good job again by Chatara. And yes, it's always good thinking to leave your best bowler, and not only today, stranded on 3 overs.

Maybe someone should tell him to take off his gloves once in a while, though.

How many extra runs did we give away in the field? I reckon around 15.

Williams/Mushangwe eased the pressure though. The Cooper's were able to get quite a few easy singles during those middle overs and build a partnership.

I don't think it will make much difference in the end. Zimbabwe should win this pretty comfortably, but unfortunately it won't matter in the context of the tournament. I can't see Ireland tripping up against this lot or UAE.

You never know, if their sloggers at the top of the order come off, like they did against the UAE, the Dutch are very capable of posting a competitive score.
