Zimbabwe Vs Namibia | 1st T20I | 24th Oct 2023
Re: Zimbabwe Vs Namibia | 1st T20I | 24th Oct 2023
I have been very concerned about our T20 preps for a while. They have honestly been taking qualification for granted.

Club cricket can't be taken as adequate preparation for a qualifier.

True. But it’s a higher standard of cricket than Namibia have been playing recently and yet they seem better prepared. How does that happen?
Maybe today is just a one off. Every team has them I guess. Let’s see how we respond tomorrow. A 4-1 series victory and everyone will forget todays disaster

Concerning performance.
It must be a bit deflating playing this very low-profile series in front of nobody while the World Cup is going on.

Is there a reason why Sean Williams didn't play?

Kaia reflects hammy in so many ways. Why check on your shots so often when you've so much power?
Re: Zimbabwe Vs Namibia | 1st T20I | 24th Oct 2023
Ervine needs to bench himself tomorrow. Let's have K Long and Welch open the batting see what they got.
Williams and mayavo could also make an appearance. Mumbai for chatara even?

How can your opening bowler with figures of 2 for 15 off 3 overs not bowl his final over before the target is reached ? Mind boggling to say the least !
