Shumba really needs to make up for dropping a sitter by scoring some runs, he is really responsible for his side bowling themselves out of the game, Bangla innings could have been ended somewhere at 350 or 360 runs if he had hold onto that catch at second slip.

Then we had a game to watch, now this is just like a dull warm up game.

It doesn't get said enough but BT is a truly terrible captain. Awful bowling combos yesterday and today it looks like he has completely given up marshalling the troops. Same happened against Pakistan when Regis visibly took over for a while when BT was sulking lol.

A poor captain and a poor coach - it's no surprise that we have performed like this really.

Absolutely agree on that, his body language is not really suggestive of someone who is tasked with marshaling the troops. Few years ago, he was really lively and expressive behind the stumps but these days his demeanor is very resigned and can be likened to a defeatist.
I absolutely love the man, but yeah he is a poor captain. He always has been in the past too. Obviously we don't have anyone else at the moment though. Let's hope Williams is back for the limited overs series.
Why there is always some kind of drama around ZC fraternity whenever a series is around the corner? Sean Williams and Ervine should have been more responsible specifically when there is an important series around the corner? Williams was in sublime form in ODI and the longest format of the game and he just wasted three test matches he could have played to pad his records and average and Zimbabwe do not get to play that many test matches. It is truly a shame.

As bad and crooked the ZC officials are when you watch such a pathetic display of cricket by its team you kind of understand why these crops of players have been treated the way they have been treated by ZC. How can you complain and whine like a babe when you could not deliver the goods against an average team on bowling friendly pitch?

Calm down mate :lol: I'm actually calmer now, cause it seems you are more pissed off than I am (only just). It's like you out drunk but your mate is more drunk than you so you have to tone down for them :lol:
