Re: T20 World Cup Match 2 - Zimbabwe vs Australia (13th February)

Just got home and watched the highlights. Never seen us play so perfectly. What the helly. You always expected Aus to come back into things and we would slip up, but that didn't happen. Yes, we can learn to be a bit more aggressive with the bat and push things. I know they said they identified 170 a...

Re: ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 discussion

Such a wonderful sight seeing Afghanistan lose. Hate that they get to be part of comps and get funding and all, yet they are also allowed to break ICC regulations and rules, and get away with it.

Re: T20 World Cup Thread Match 1 (9th February) - Zimbabwe vs Oman

Obviously a big NRR would have been ideal. In saying that, Taylor came in when we gave away two very cheap wickets, Bennett was not set, and Oman had all the momentum. He had to consolidate, which he did, and then Bennett took over. Ideally would have liked him to pick it up an over or two earlier, ...

Re: T20 World Cup Thread Match 1 (9th February) - Zimbabwe vs Oman

Was so obvious that Marumani was going to get out that way. He kept playing that shot and missed a few times.

We really did so well with the board, but as is always the case, when we do well in one area, we falter in the other. Need BT and Bennett to just build.

Re: ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 discussion

half way through Dean at stumps interview with Andy Flower. Some points his made about the under 19, which will be true for the national team too. 1. Players need better exposure to higher quality competition. 2. Players need to have higher quality training procedures. 3. The domestic structure nee...

Re: U19 World Cup Jan 2026 | Super 6 | Zim vs Bangladesh

I wait to see the post mortem of this tournament, but any other serious nation would fire Elton after this and make some serious change.

Can't go into a home world cup saying, "we are not worried about this one, we are worried about the next one".

Re: U19 World Cup Jan 2026 | Super 6 | Zim vs Bangladesh

It always surprises me how we have no clear tactic with our bowling choices. Even in the last game, it was like a random mish-mash of choices. Then again, Elton is the coach, so I am curious if there are any tactics at all.

Re: U19 World Cup Jan 2026 | Super 6 | Zim vs India

Chimugoro has bowled pretty well. A few that are a bit wide, but other than that, he is not bad.

Re: U19 World Cup Jan 2026 | Super 6 | Zim vs India

I'm not so clued up on the U19's, but are we really this bad? Looks like I'm watching village cricketers vs International

India are cruising at 10 an over. Who chooses to bowl if the batting track is that good.
