You would expect them not to get spooked by bounce when they face Blessing regularly. Blessing might not be as quick but surely its not like they have never seen anything like that before. Anyway.. that's enough for me

Extra bounce off a good length though. I wonder if Blessing has bowled in the nets in Townsville? Seemed like there was more bounce today

I'm convinced that our players ignore the coaches and just do whatever they want. There is no way you play poorly in game 1 and then come and do the same crap, if not worse, in game 2.

If one oftop 2 getting failed consistently then, why we are not changing the order?

I guess Burl can be batter insted of Kaia or marumani. Still I am thinking madhvere is good at opening or in top 4. He is talented.

But, i am not seeing any confidance in Kaia. We have even given sufficient chance to marumani. Prince masvaure is better then these 2

We are completely relay on Raza only in batting. If Raza fails, entire team fails. Even Willems is not capable . He loose his confidence asap once collepse happened.

Any team can suffer collepse, but 1 or 2 batmen can show the maturity and character.


We are not learning. But to play again this kind of top team will be definately helpful.

Last 8 innings - Kaia has only 1 century, chakbwa has also only 1. They are our batters, they must have to learn fast and deliver

Yeah it's always been too reliant on 1 or 2 players. For a while it looked like the only chance of scoring big runs is if one of Taylor/Ervine/Williams/Raza did it, and it seemed like they rarely ever played in the same side. I was hoping Kaia and Chakabva's debut tons might have been the start of a few more big scores but doesn't look like it.
