[Match Thread] New Zealand v Zimbabwe: 1st ODI

[hhm]

That's the difference between NZ and Zim I'm afraid. Team selection for ODIs as far as NZ is concerned, means for you to get in as a bowler, you must know how to handle yourself as a batsman too.

With our new ball bowlers once again proving to be inept where wicket-taking is concerned, and failing to go at less than 5(even worse 6), NZ look set for 260+

Well well well, shingi turns into a thinking bowler, outta the back of the hand. very clever shingi

[hhm]

Brilliant slow ball by Shingi. One of the few times we see any of our bowlers deceive a batsman[tailender]!

No doubt, his allround bowling has improved! Must work on his economy rate though!

[hhm]

This is sad, to have 'supposed' specialist new ball bowlers in Jarvis and Meth(plus Shingi) in the team, yet Hami still has to complete their overs for them!

No strategy there, just plain pitiful. This should not be allowed to happen at this level!
