Re: [Match Thread] Warm up game Zimbabwe v BCBXI
Chigs fighting for life. Hami getting us past an embarrassing double figure score.

Just popping my head in to say this is why the RS or any touring squads in future are much better served touring the sub continent.

Hami with a century. Elton 47. Everybody else crumbled. Sad.
15-a-side cricket is a very interesting concept. Wouldnt be surprised if they try introduce it in the next 10 years. I think it would make test matches a lot tougher. Maybe bring back some excitement to it but I know 90% of the cricketing world would be against it

Hami has been showing some intent recently and looks solid, but others doesn't seem to learn anything. Craig Ervine is certainly not a new ball player.TapsC wrote: ↑Fri Oct 19, 2018 7:22 amHami with a century. Elton 47. Everybody else crumbled. Sad.

Still lot of lbws, watching the ball carefully and playing cautiously is something the coach wants to improve with the Zim team.

They had XXII a side once upon a time - English touring sides would often play inflated teams.TapsC wrote: ↑Fri Oct 19, 2018 7:22 amHami with a century. Elton 47. Everybody else crumbled. Sad.

RS were going to England because of Taibus connections. It made everything so much easier. Now with him out of the equation, there's no knowing what will happen with the RS. Could not exist very soon.
Chigs is that player who you want to do so badly so he gets dropped, but you then remember he plays for your team. I think he just cemented his spot in the side for this tour though. Sad to see all the others failing again. Why can't anyone find consistency. We seemed to have some, or even some sort of rhythm, under Streak and then it all went to shits in that infamous game.
I'd love to know how Hammy went out. Was he swinging away? I'd like to think he was trying to play out the 50 overs and not just swinging.
I feel like we could such a better squad if our players used their head more than. It's like Cruyff said with football, "its a game played with the mind, not the feet". You begin to realise how true that statement is to all sports.
