[Match Thread] Pakistan v Zimbabwe, 1st T20I

[brmtaylor.com admin]

Everyone making a start, nobody going on. Except Masakadza to a degree I suppose, but you need a 60 or 70 to anchor the innings in T20.

If we can get to 150 that'd be a decent total I think. But it's a great pitch, even 180 probably wouldn't be enough... but 150 is still something for the bowlers to defend I guess.


I'd send Vitori in before Mutumbami.

Very good innings by Chigumbura. We've got a good total now.

It's not a bad total, but I kind of expect the Zimbabwe bowling attack will be taken apart

Yeah great knock from Elton. We're definitely in with a shout.

Look forward to seeing Cremer bowl

Would have liked to see Vitori promoted before Mutumbami... he was just poking it around for singles in the final over.
If it was the 12th over or something, sure send Mutumbami out. In fact, I don't mind Mutumbami being selected so he gets some international experience under his belt given Chakabva has sewn up the Test spot. But chasing quick runs in the last few overs, send out someone who can swing the bat... Vitori could have added another 10 to this total.

But overall, pretty good effort. Better than I was expecting at around 4/100. Definitely in with a chance here.

Look forward to seeing Cremer bowl

Me too. Was good to see him bat again.

Panyangara is useless

What is Mpofu thinking. This is rubbish.

I have missed Mpofu.

[pardy21st]

our bowlers are leaking runs, this is unacceptable

This is like watching club cricketers bowl. This isn't a boozers league fixture.
