Need to get this Shahzad character out quickly...

We're not coping with the pressure of the situation.

Cremer/Raza must come back on now I think.

You can see exactly what kind of shot he wants to play and you bowl the ball for him to do it. What in the actual???

I am so fuming with this side right now. You wouldn't think we are fighting for a World Cup spot and are the test playing nation.

Not picking CZ shows a couple of things-
It wasn’t their decision
They’re panicking. He was put in to pinch hit and they haven’t backed him to do that. This game is where it could have paid dividends.
Now super tough on PJ who hasn’t played.

Isn't there a reserve day??

No

Are you talking about that shotbover extra? That was just a good shot. High risk, well executed.

Yes. Good shot definitely, but he backed away to create the room, and Williams bowled it in to the corridor to use his arms.

It looks like we are playing a top 5 batting side.

Blessing looks a lazy fielder.

This is kind of like the 2015 World Cup match v UAE. As long as the weather doesn't screw us we can chase down whatever score they put up.

Cremer said in interview that Cephas has a free license to play his shots.
