[First T20I] Afghanistan v Zimbabwe

[Black Mamba]

Streak needs to take steps based on format. When Mire and Masakadza gave a flying start, it was necesary to send Sikandar Raza or Peter Moor above Brendan Taylor. Taylor is a classical batsman, run a bowl sort of player, he and Burl should bat at 5 or 6.Taylor came at 3, and destroyed the rythm of Zimbabwe innings, as a result Masakadza who was looking good got out as the runs were not coming from Taylor.

Taylor & Burl should bat higher only in Odis & Test, as they needs time to settle, if they featured in T20 they should bat in lower order.

Money needs to be invested in Blessing. Send him to a high performance unit for a bit when we are free. Get that run up sorted and he will bowl faster consistently. I don't think I would want to face him bowling at 145kph. It's really possible. I believe in him. Wasn't so sure how he would handle the pressure.

Kid is young and has no meat on his frame. I weigh more than Blessing and I'm 5'8" and definitely not fat.

Mohammad Irfan was also a 130 kph trundler when he first hit the scene as a 30 yo but a couple seasons later was bowling 150. He also had an awkward action, granted not as awkward as Blessings. He also might have juiced to bowl that quick, lol.
