Zimbabwe Vs Namibia | ICC T20 Qualifier | 22 November 2023

[Detective RDS]

Only just switched on. Mumba first four balls - Wide, 4, 4, 4.

The fact that nobody is even posting on here says it all about this team.

How Carl Mumba was preferred to Luke Jongwe

This is bollocks

Send these boys to Chikurubi for a long hard think on their game and get the Knackerville u27 select side out there instead.

If we bowl like this then we won’t beat many of the sides in this competition.

We were all joking about Rwanda and Tanzania or whoever but this bowling is absolutely horrific. We’d struggle if we repeat this performance.

Look at how damp that square is. It's not damp, it's wet! Seriously favors the side batting second.
Then they bowled accurate dibbly dobbly seamers and good spin. Did the same to us in the warm-ups. Barely a shit delivery. I'm not sure we learnt anything from those warm up games last month.

Our batters should have recognised that 140-150 was a decent score. They probably did, just weren't up for the stern bowling test.

Ngarava bowled beautifully then bowled them a 4 ball at the end. Same as Blessing. Back of a length was working but he couldn't help changing it.
Carl just cant land it back of a length.
Evans with his off cutters would have been very useful.

This is disheartening man. Didn't expect this at all.

Yeah i dont think we are going to win this one.

Raza should have given Blessing that 4th over, not Mumba, that was a mistake. We could easily contained them to 10 runs after 4 overs, that would have changed things a bit

[Googly]

I also think Wes should have batted with Welch. Marumani is going to struggle against tight bowling with the ball holding like that. Those were tough batting conditions. Not as tough as we made them look, but tough nonetheless.
This Namibian side is sharp, and they have a proper plan in their own conditions, which are to saturate the pitch. I'm not sure how ok that is ?

Disaster. They have been taking qualifying for granted. If we don't make the world cup the people uptop are going to have serious meltdown and I honestly don't blame them. Whatever the other issues are there is absolutely no excuse for professional players to be performing like this

[Googly]

May as well give Burl an over.

Pretty sure they're doing their best, theyre not trying to lose, but it will be tempting for the hierarchy to send nasty messages.
I did mention this pitch preparation last time. They should have prepared specifically for this pitch.
