Why is Stuart Matsikeneyri not held accountable for such shambolic batting performances time and time again?

Same reason most people in the system aren't held accountable.

I can’t see him surviving this time. Even they have their limits to their patience. It’s bringing heat in upper management now. He won’t have the job for life.

He will be reallocated somewhere.

Jeez that was a thrashing and a half.

Clueless against high quality spin. Batting front only ervine 82 in last match and Gumbies consistency has been anything to write home about.

Ngarava has been excellent. Why is blessing so off the boil?

Some of our guys don't believe they can compete, let alone win.
That shortened game worked in their favor though. We were batting like it was a 50 over game up front and then it was cut to 27. We were 40 something after 10 with Gumbie and Kaitano batting decently. We'd either have been 60-0 or 60- 4 if they'd known from the outset it was a 27 over game.

Imagine being so bereft of solutions that you assign the job to a committee that has never played the game at the highest level or probably any level?
Are they using their extraordinary skills to understand the Uganda failure in isolation or the system in general?
I just cannot wait for their findings, they're going to be epic.

Hasaranga had a strike rate of 5. The 11th best ever recorded in ODIs. Nowhere near our very own Ryan Burl whose 5/10 against Australia which is still ranked number 1 with a strike rate of 3.6. 5 wickets in exactly 3 overs. The only one under 4. This record might stand for a while. His grandchildren will be proud one day. Makes me question the Aussies’ ability against spin

Jongwe’s 5/6 against Afghanistan is also in the top 40 as he somehow bowled 5 overs with only 1 maiden and 2 wides on top of that for 6 runs. Sounds like a typical Luke Jongwe performance

Did you watch the match? He bowled really well today, so many inside and outside edges, no idea how he didn’t get Mendis out.

I thought Blessing was good in the last game as well.

Chivanga in srilanka.
