Was just thinking.. how many of the senior players played in that T10 tournament? That was the situation yesterday. ZC organised it.. most of them didn't play. Can't blame the board for not having the experience to play so few overs. I think Wes, Shumba and Raza did.

Madhevere was the only batter not overawed by the situation. He just got on with it with mostly conventional shots and delivered his occasional good innings.
Hindsight is a fine thing but Jongwe would probably have done better than the others.
Our openers' struggles continue. If you play them long enough of course they'll have a decent innings one day. I don't know what the alternatives are though.
Williams poor run continues.
That was tough watching us implode like that.

Ya I was thinking that as well. They were mostly clueless how to go about that. They just came out swinging and panicking

De Kock in good form is a phenomenal sight though. That would have been good to watch against another team.
With tall bowlers their stock ball has to be a heavy length straight at the batsman. Its tough to get that away, give them no width whatsoever.

Shumba not played the T10.Raza, Wes, Munyonga, Ngarava, Evans, Jongwe and Madande are the players who participated T10.

Not a single person blamed the board. That was a very huge jump to make.

If Richard is injured, does Marumani fly in as an injury replacement or would he miss to many games by the time he could get here?

Your probably looking at Chivanga if anything rather than marumani as richard is a pace bowler

Lance klusner is currently involved in a Pakistani show as an expert for the worldcup . I was just listening to his pre match analysis for this game and when asked whom is he supporting he said zimbabwe. I think he liked his time here . Only better opportunities let him quit the setup
