I have been very concerned about our T20 preps for a while. They have honestly been taking qualification for granted.

Club cricket can't be taken as adequate preparation for a qualifier.

True. But it’s a higher standard of cricket than Namibia have been playing recently and yet they seem better prepared. How does that happen?

Maybe today is just a one off. Every team has them I guess. Let’s see how we respond tomorrow. A 4-1 series victory and everyone will forget todays disaster :lol:

Concerning performance.

It must be a bit deflating playing this very low-profile series in front of nobody while the World Cup is going on.

Is there a reason why Sean Williams didn't play?

Kaia reflects hammy in so many ways. Why check on your shots so often when you've so much power?

Ervine needs to bench himself tomorrow. Let's have K Long and Welch open the batting see what they got.

Williams and mayavo could also make an appearance. Mumbai for chatara even?

How can your opening bowler with figures of 2 for 15 off 3 overs not bowl his final over before the target is reached ? Mind boggling to say the least !
