1st ODI Zimbabwe v Afghanistan

[grant]

Phew, with Raza still there, we'll cross 200 at least.

I see on Wikipedia they've changed Noor Ahmad's age to 17.
Clearly they're going to play him again in the next u19 world cup.
He's the next bowler behind Khan in this side and they're not playing him.

Remember when Burl hit three or four sixes in an over off Rashid?

Gonna need that again today Ponso, and some more!

[Googly]

This hurts. We feel as feeble as if we were up against a big side in their pomp.

Can we please get a new coach. I'm happy to beg.

Tbf the three spinners are probably a better attack than any other side in the world and would trouble anyone.

The seamers look bang average though and we should be plundering off them.

It means they will be holding back their seamers from u19 as well, because they were really good.
Afghanistan seem more intent on cheating and doing well at u19 level.

Imagine if we had even 1 just spinner this good in the country. Wow.

[Jemisi]

50 for Raza, something from him at least

[tej_27]

This is just delaying the game .we pretty much lost the game 15 overs ago

[sam_ahm]

Just need to hit out now. No matter what, game is lost anyways.

Zimbabwe simple do not have good batsmen.

Imagine if we had even 1 just spinner this good in the country. Wow.

Raza was getting there as a genuine good spinner until he changed his bowling action a few years ago. I still don't understand what that was all about.

Some false hope from Tiripano
