that was so bloody dissapointing. raza was fuming at the end and rightly so . needed 26 off last two and our two best bowlers to bowl. should have done it . i really think this was the game to be win . now next two games is going to be very one sided for sure

Strong case for Raza as MoM in a losing cause there.

Very good game, bloody good fight by Zimbabwe. Obviously very dissapointing at the end.

If and when Evans ever graces us with his presence and he goes for 30 in 2 overs that will be the end of him.

I'm so used to these kind of defeats now that it no longer hurts. I've learned to just take it and move on tbh.

May be my fault, I'm out of town these days so not getting to watch the full game. I was watching on my mobile towards the end and it was all going good until 8 balls were left and I moved from my position, and after that it went all wrong. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤣

Never move! Golden rule.
You shoulder all responsibility.

Hahaha, yeah Googly, it's a golden rule not to move and I was thinking about it when I did. 🤣😂

I wonder if the penny is dropping for Burl that Raza is not trusting him to bowl when it's tight and that he needs to start putting in the hard yards. If he doesn't bowl and bowl well his spot is up for grabs

Burl won't be dropped but I agree he should be trusted a little more with the ball.

One change I would like to see is for Bennett to bat at 3, Willo to drop down to 4 , Sikki at 5 and Burl at 6. Let the young lad face more balls and let's try to groom him for bigger roles. I'd also like to see him bowl a bit.

I think the intention may have been him at 3 if they lost an early wicket, but it didn't work out like that. He's better off against the pace for sure. Coming in against those two spinners is not easy.
