Burl is basically a younger version of Ervine. I'd rather Chigumbura than Burl in this format.

I don't think they can be compared. Bavuma is one of our best limited overs domestic batsmen, but we all know that only makes sense if he bats in the top 3, preferrably opening. You can't compare him to a Miller/Farhaan/JonJon.

Zimbabwe have to be professional enough to position players properly. Going forward they will mostly play LOIs and preferences must be chucked out of the window. It's killing the team! With Hami and Mire retired:

All of Taylor, Craig, Sean, Burl, Chakabva, must compete for the top 3 spots. Nothing lower in T20s. Add Raza and nothing lower than 4 in ODIs. A non-bowling Miller bats 5/6 in ODIs & T20s. Why can't you have a Kamunhukamwe batting that low too? Musakanda and Mutombodzi are excellent in the middle overs, and they will grow as long as they are accommodated, with those guys pushing up. Moor is stand and deliver like Kamunhukamwe, except he can be a version that's tried up top because a tried and tested big hitter like Elton is available, and Moor has battled batting lower.

Burl batting brilliantly and innovatively. Shakib shell-shocked!

I felt 120 might be enough in this 18 over game considering the pitch. This may very well be a match-winning knock already.

30 run over from my nigga Burl.
Got to look at around 150 here. Fantastic comeback.

Burl!

[Mr Twig]

WOW i look up and Burl smashes Shakib for 6 consecutive boundaries. That's more like it

[encore]

Shakib brought himself on after Burl had a great over previously.

Slow left arm spinner against a left-handed batsman. Poor captaincy from a generally accepted poor captain.

Burl capitalised. I'm really rooting for a ZIM win here. They can go on to win this series, cause harm to Bangladesh with Shakib eventually resigning.

Perfectly timed floodlight failure. Well done Bangladesh!
