Raza :lol: but I don't blame him though. We must also not forget Raza is from Pakistan as well. It's not some random league from his perspective .He did his bit. 67 runs and a wicket with the best economy is not a bad return. For me Raza has earned that right.

Where I don't agree with is skipping the SA tests for Major League Cricket. I think they should make him play. Let's not forget ZC actually has the final say so they would have had long discussions about it. We will need him. He was very effective in the last test he played in Bulawayo.

Sikandar is back in Lahore which means that it could be assumed that he threw his wicket away so he could play the final because if the match had reached the 4th day he would have missed out on final
He'd choose a 4th day for Zim and a historic draw with England over a PSL match every single time.

That was seriously impressive. To produce that under pressure just a couple of hours after getting off a long haul flight!

I dunno how that shot off the second last ball went for 6. Unbelievable.
That Tariq guy has the most bizarre bowling action.

These T20 tournaments are scary to watch from a zim perspective. We are getting left further and further behind with each passing month.

I dont think its so much his mrntality, its just him. He is fairly limited.
It's not just Ben though. We see it with a lot of our players. Playing within themselves. Take Wes for example. So much talent and hype, then he was thrown into the deep end. Had a rough start, and never recovered. We often hear of players in our set up dealing with issues linked to mentality and mental health, so it's clearly something that is a problem within our system.

Even in matches, it's very obvious to see when our players switch, and as soon as it's noticed, you just know things are going to get bad.

This test certainly went a lot better than the last time we played test match cricket in England. We didn't really do any worse than Sri Lanka and West Indies have done in England. Brian Bennett has really been a revelation - I think we have found one of our future big 3!
