[Match Thread] New Zealand v Zimbabwe (1st T20I)

[hhm]

Horrible everything for Mutizwa, he really needs to go! waller just kicked one out as well.

Meth bowled very well. zimbo quite right. Oddly enough Jarvis the one getting wickets instead. nicol&McCullum playing shots they need'nt have done. Anyway, a wicket is a wicket, all the more so if he's getting them with the new ball. I had given up hope!

A dot!

Players need to go, but ZC refuse to make those tough decisions and rather le the same old same old get the hiding it seems.

It also seems, if players dont want to play for Zim, we have ourselves a problem.

we obviously dont learn from our bowling, its not about pace or anything, its about length.

[Jemisi]

Guptill has a chance at a hundred here

[zimbos_05]

its just shocking from our boys really. cant do the basics right and its hurting us really badly. before wed fling ourselves in the field at anything and all.

i reckon some of the boys on here would do a better job selecting and coaching this team.


FFS, BOWL AT THE BLOODY STUMPS, HOW MANY BLOODY WIDES IS THIS

[Jemisi]

I said we were 20 short of par, we were probably 35 short of a winning score.

I said we were 20 short of par, we were probably 35 short of a winning score.

the problem stems from too much reliance on one or two batsmen. Elton and Hami did the job, but no one backed them up. Every batsmen has to score runs not just one or two.

[zimbos_05]

10 extras vs 2 extras. And we still have a lot of balls to go.


this is a very telling factor in where games are won. ive always been a believer in the simple and small things win games, and they definitely do. Extras and poor fielding.

[Jemisi]

Forster does something right tonight

[foreignfield]

The fielding's again atrocious, but there's some credit due to Guptill who's really in the form of his life.
