Zimbabwe vs India T20 World Cup super 8 round
Re: Zimbabwe vs India T20 World Cup super 8 round
It's kind of like when you visit your girlfriend's parents and you bring an undercooked sadza or something. It's like you need to bring your best to even be in it and we bring a dodgy sadza (musekiwa, munyonga instead of cremer and curran)

And bowl first after getting whacked all over last time 


Then old salamander will chat about learnings

Is Sammons and co mental? We are miles behind on paper compared to these Super 8 teams, by a long way too, and we decide to repeatedly play with bloody 9 players every game? How can you even begin to explain putting in these two muppets instead of Welch for example?
It’s just beyond me and pissed me off no end as we know there’s so much better just being wasted.

Well at least Maphosa can bat as well. Might be a close game if we get early wickets
Re: Zimbabwe vs India T20 World Cup super 8 round
They dont improvise.. fine they might feel they are good chasing and they are backing themselves to chase anything under 200.. but against chakravarty & bumrah.. & with musekiwa at no7 as their actual finisher(cuz raza comes in at no5), I dont think they can pull this off but I still want them to play the best they can especially with the ball to restrict India.
Changes were needed after that 100 run loss but changes were needed in batting.. Not looking at Cremers figures in the last game, but the turn he got, he shouldve been in the playing XI.. his career economy is 7.. I dont see how Raza termed bringing in Maposa for his 1st world cup game as tactical.. he is not the fastest in that camp and certainly not the best. Raza got no turn and Burl might either pick up a good wicket or get smashed all around the park. This is like dropping chakravarty after a bad game and bringing in Siraj.
No Curran is alright since you dont wanna take chances with someone who hasnt played international t20 yet in a must win world cup game but madande? Umm.. madande against pace can hit a few.. not so sure about the ones who are in the playing XI

Re: Zimbabwe vs India T20 World Cup super 8 round
Having a strategy to bowl first and take early wickets is ineffective against Depth teams like India, it actually works against top order heavy teams like us.
That was a bad toss call for me. We should have batted first here.
But as usual, let’s hope it works out.

Re: Zimbabwe vs India T20 World Cup super 8 round
One thing ive noticed is they are hesitant about Curran.. what I dont get it why call him to the world cup then? Why not Welch or Campbell?

Lol ... Musikewa is still playing! Only Zimbabwe are capable of such shit.
