Let's see if theyre prepared to critique Raza's technique, because he doesnt really have one and hes going to do well to survive these seamers.

It's more Rainsford than Tino I've found. I feel some of his comments are really weird. He was an unaccomplished bowler who only played 39 times for Zim and did fuck all. Plus he was given a career due to the political situation of 2004-08.
Played only 39 international games :lol: There are people who have not played any club games commenting on cricket, but that's not a problem. However, an international player commenting is a big issue :ugeek:

There's been some sabotage on this site, the posting is becoming impossible.

Weve always been shite at strike rotation so its just a talking point. All they need to do is see that most of Welch's dots were leaves. Rotating strike on a leave seems a little high risk :lol:
Ervines dots, and there have been a bunch, have been play and misses, not really worth running to those either :lol:

Quality bowlers have bowled well on a spicy wicket. That should be what they're discussing. The only useful gem came from the Kiwi, he said Henry was bowling too short.

Let me tell you Bennett is going to struggle, they've watched him carefully and theyve got the bowlers to really make him miserable. He gets stuck on his crease and spars at it a bit. Hes going to find the going tough.
He was unlucky that carried though.

Curran's shot was a massive brain fade. Williams' shot was not great, but it really jagged at him. Welch's shot jumped at him a bit off a length and surprised him. Thats not hard hands in this instance.

Not much time to critique Raza in the end. Short ball done him again
