Realised we have Australia instead of Pakistan. Nobody is beating them.

Truth be told it's almost impossible to make major changes in this squad because the World Cup is 2 months away and we won't have time to try out anyone else with certainty that they will work. The only guy they have clearly shown they will take a chance on is Naqvi if he qualifies in January. Our W...

He's played 20 internationals. Almost can't use that. True. He has been completely fast tracked. 20 internationals. Only 4 domestic T20s. Only 6 of his 20 have been against associates too. He has only played a handful of domestic games across all formats. He has actually been quietly given the Benn...

Why is Maphosa bowling short? Can't give these guys width either.
Maphosa's head is blown.

Always cracks under pressure but honestly that is due to inexperience.

Such a typical Zim performance so far. No real pressure when you look at all the equations unless you completely blow it.

Taylor just seems reluctant to play in front of square. You gotta be in fine touch to sweep a ball thats a foot or two short, most take power off and try and touch it. He's clearing a bit more to off so he can try and get it behind square where it's a more effective shot. Bennett's way of clearing ...

You are literally better off having Luke Jongwe as your finisher than some of these younger players. Zero idea on how to make something out of nothing which is what every single international T20 finisher should be able to do as the bare minimum. The overall quality being produced domestically is no...

Evans and Bennett have been real game changers for us. Just that little bit extra fire power we needed in both departments to make us more competitive. Maphosa is another good find and Raza did well to give him 3 overs upfront because he is still learning how to finish games. The speed gun has shown...

We seem to always play our best cricket against Sri Lanka. Got no idea why. I don't think Musekiwa is necessarily a passenger but they could be better options. Munyonga hasn't been able to hit a clean 6 in ages and needs time to get going. I think we are better off having Burl at 6 and Myers at 3 in...

Just noticed that a national team bowler failed to defend 16 runs in the final over against teenagers. Very very concerning. Mentally a lot of our guys just don't have what it takes to play at the highest level. Make no mistake about it, we take it for granted but at least half the games we play the...

If the current generation of "young talents" around the national team are not careful they could find themselves out in the cold permanently for some of the new "young talents" around. Seeing how Bennett has played, I got a feeling they are going to try the same formula a few times and someone might...
