Series Thread: Al Barakha Cup (Canada T20)

After 10 overs: 75/1
After 20 overs: 107/8

How can one explain this?

It's the Zimbabwe Collapse™, it can't be explained, it just happens.

Pretty disappointing really. Zhuwawo was the second highest scorer, I think that says it all. If it is any consolation, all of the wickets were a result of stupidity. There was no exceptional bowling, which is why there were no clean bowleds or LBW's. Maybe in a 50 over match we would not have the problem of people playing stupid shots.

But overall, we threw this match away. For the first 10 overs we had it in the bag.

And Taibu's was the worst shot of them all.

You are right about Pakistani bowling. Even Gul was not at his best. Only Fawad Alam bowled some decent deliveries. Some other team would have easily scored 180+ against such bowling.

If the stream is not back up for you, try refreshing the page repeatedly. It is working for me at the moment.

I see Train Driver is online now, if he hasn't seen the link for the stream, it is http://www.justin.tv/widgets/jtv_live.r ... ricketasia

Chigumbura bowling to Afridi... let's hope he can get him early.

No not Mpofu, i would rather have Rainsford instead of him

Mpofu got a wicket!

[Train Driver]

I know it's only 20/20, which i personally despise, but to score 81-1 in the first 11.3 overs and then 26-7 in the remaining 8.3 overs surely deserves some sort of award, the problem is that the award might well be called 'Associate membership'.

Poor old Hamilton must be biting his lip at the moment, probably wondering why he bothered turning up.

Performances like this, and the one against Canada, could well have the worst possible result for the future of Zimbabwe cricket.

I just hope that the performances in Kenya, where the batsmen will at least have the chance of building an innings, are on a different level to this.

With what is going on politically, as well as on the field, i have very bad feelings about the future, i've not felt this negative for some time.

A leader has got to be found for ZC, very soon.

[Kopje]

Great catch there, maybe Mpofu might be very useful if he continues presenting such deliveries which allow the batsman to take risks or restrict singles
