Fuck I hate Tahir

I really don’t understand these guys, use your feet and get to the pitch of the ball ffs

True but spinners can play until they are 40

So can specialist batsmen a la Chanderpaul, Tendulkar, Misbah...basically anyone except a fast bowler.

I want to see Taylor, Ervine, Cremer, Raza, and now even Masakadza and Williams play on till they are 40. That gives them another 7-8 years which takes us to 2025. God knows ZIM need them.

It’s all he bowls. Googlies.
FFS play straight.

This is a great advert for how not to bat in T20.


Absolute no intent what so ever

Playing spin is actually the hardest thing in cricket. If the ball isn't swinging playing pace is straightforward, but spin requires a totally different mindset and technique IMO. Thats why from England to New Zealand to South Africa and West Indies, all the non-Asian sides suck balls at playing spin. Granted even Asian teams struggle on rank turners, but they are still loads better than any non-Asian side.

That’s the PJ I know. Beautiful shot.

[SpitfiresKent]

This is moor like it

[Googly]

They’re actually now batting so as not to lose by an embarrassing margin. PJ can play.
I’m so sick of dissecting these poor guys but PJ must just be left alone to play, as must Williams and Ervine.

[Googly]

That was just premeditated. In fairness the performing twat is the best in the world.

[Googly]

He only bowls googlies. Do I need to be the fucking batting coach for these guys?????
