Phew

Zim team manager looked like he had the ICC handbook there and was giving the umpires a telling off

Hope Richard is ok

I feel desperately bad for Ngarava, I hope he didn't sustain a bad injury because of this.

A bit of talk about Ervine's captaincy, but at least he didn't risk Muzarabani...

[Marshmallow]

No result

Game called off, 1 point for Zimbabwe.

Lol. To be fair a 9 over game was a joke from the start.

Some credit to QDK for that knock though, he almost got it done single handedly.

End of the day, we picked up a point we didn't expect to have. Madhevere played some nice shots. Otherwise a forgettable day, hope Ngarava is okay

Hopefully this game serves as a bit of a wake up call. We are definitely playing a higher level than the qualifiers. For all of the buzz around us, we have much we need to improve quickly. A lot of positives as well and good signs which we can build on, but we desperately need to improve quickly.

Start with playing with a straight bat, steady body position, and strong head. Shumba looking to hit too many shots behind him and too many fancy things. We improve this in our game and we instantly become better. Matsi is not a batting coach

That was ridiculous in the end. If Ngarava is injured we need to file a formal complaint. Rules are rules. We can't be expected to take it when we get mankaded but then they want us to play in those conditions.

It also took Williams to actually make a bit of noise. We need real leaders in this team.
