What maddens and embarrasses me is people laugh at us.
Shit team selection. Shit captaincy, shit fast bowling, shit fielding and shit batting.
It's not that bad Googly. Agreed Zimbabwe have been below par in the last 3 games but don't forget Netherlands struggled big time against Pakistan and India too and then bouncee back. So it happens.

I care less about the T20 format for the next 1 year anyways
So after this game, I'll be more interested to see how the ODI team goes.

No it is. Look at those fielders laughing and joking and this Harsha Bugle idiot talking like we are nothing.
We were not likely to win, but if you select the wrong team, make shit bowling changes when we have them under pressure, make mistakes in the field, persist with Chakabva up front when he's got no plan against swing or any straight delivery then what tiny chance you have is gone. Its rubbish.

Are you expecting much different in 50 over?

The only mitigating thing is that this bowling attack is unbelievable. Ervine has yet to learn a shot against that back of a length ball on 4th. He just dabs it down, time after time. In a tight game the opposition want him to bat 20 overs.

At the very least, Ervine, Williams and Chakabva are all more comfortable in 50 over cricket so at least thats something. Actually probably our entire batting squad.

There u go. Williams first 6 in 7 innings.
Hes a good player but if your no 3 can't hit a 6 you're not beating a big team.

Thats a relative thing. Everyone is more comfortable in 50 over. You don't need to go at 130% you csn get away with 80%

WIlliams 11 off 17 :lol:

He's a legend, and remains the first name on our teamsheet in Test cricket (remember when we used to play Test cricket? :lol: ).....but he, like so many others in this team, are so out of their depth in T20 cricket against decent bowling.
