T20 Africa Qualifiers
Re: T20 Africa Qualifiers
Notice how Zimbabwean batsman always seem to get these jaffas, yet Aussie, Indian etc batsman rarely get these unplayable deliveries?Kriterion_BD wrote: ↑Mon Sep 29, 2025 7:51 pmBasically any ball Marumani faces is a jaffa. There's a reason he averages under 20 despite playing the bulk of his games against 20th ranked sides.
It's really just skill levels.

Re: T20 Africa Qualifiers
All our batsman should be playing innings like how Taylor did the other day.
The best in the world produce those innings against world class attacks.
The least we can do is demolish Botswana.

Re: T20 Africa Qualifiers
He has a large amount of skill and ability. I will die on this hill. I’ve been watching him, in person, since he was 13. There aren’t too many in the country with greater skill and ability.
You look at Bennett who always seems to have nine lives and just seems incredibly lucky. How many times does he get dropped? How many times has he had favourable umpiring decisions? Etc. Contrast that with Maru who is objectively unlucky.
He has a lot of skill but has no luck whatsoever and has very poor decision making. There is a difference between technical/physical and mental attributes.

Hoping Bennett finally gets his T20 century today. Been close so many times.

Re: T20 Africa Qualifiers
Must be the youngest batter in world cricket to have centuries in all three formats.

Evans in the wickets.
Re: T20 Africa Qualifiers
The ICC commentator working the Kenya v. Nigeria match appears not to be aware that NRR will determine which team makes the semis if Kenya win. He is so shocked at how Kenya are rushng the chase

Re: T20 Africa Qualifiers
Its one of our own, i think Darlington is his name! Am really shocked he is saying that, i really thought they still have a chance with NRR! How does the table look like right now? I cant find it anywhere online!
The higher you go the cooler it becomes.
