We need an SOS to Williams and Antum navqi for the qualifiers.

That was shocking

To be honest there is a huge problem with mentality with these guys. They live their worst nightmare over and over again to the point of acceptance. Now when you have players who don't have the mentality, the smart thing is to wrap the tournament/series up quickly then rotate for the dead rubbers. For us... nope...let's make it difficult for ourselves and expose mentally weak players to their nightmare over and over again :lol:

Sometimes I really wonder whether they will ever break this endless cycle and actually progress

It gets to a point where you realise that the people at fault are the players most of the time. They need to add IQ tests to the fitness tests.

I'm just lost for words.

Sorry to say this but this exactly why ZC might be looking at the likes of Antum Naqvi to be fast tracked into the team. Results matter and a lot of these players just ain't getting those results. They are good players but come on man we can't be losing series to the likes of Namibia.

There are Afghanistan who are pushing for WC semi final players and they weren't along way off from Zimbabwe 5 years ago.

I'm so bloody pissed off.

Ya that was poor, even by our standards.
They did bowl very well though.
The less said about Madhevere's, Kaia's and Raza's dismissals the better. Madhevere in particular.
Ervine was unlucky, but its holding and the game was set up for his run a ball that he does very well.
Burl got a jaffer.
Welch played really well, pity he didn't hang around a few more overs, he would have won that.
Madande is OK, but unconvincing.
Luke's time is almost done. Evans needs a clear run at that position.
Ngarava bowled well.
Chatara bowled well.
All the spinners served up their customary buffet ball every over. Didn't seem important because there were some great deliveries in between, but the Namibian spinners should have taught them a lesson, if they're paying attention. They were immaculate.

Assume Naqvi and Williams are available, who do you drop?
