The issues for me are these-
Chakabva continues to go too hard at everything. Needs to calm down and believe in himself.
I know we lost Ervine but was Munyonga the right option at 3?
I still want to see Burl up the order but he's not looking too shiny at the moment.
Evans surely has to play ahead of Shumba now, and for an extended period. Give him a fair crack of the whip.

Dunno why you're worrying about the Jongwe dismissal. That would have got most batters out regardless of where they were on the crease.

Just checked the rain radar for Friday it looks good for the first game and a certain washout for ours at night .so this is virtually end of our campaign as in this case Scotland and winner of first game will qualify

Raza also was over excited. Saw him admonishing himself for a missed opportunity thru covers. He hadn't read the fact that he needed to take his foot off the pedal a bit.
That ball was there to hit though.

What a stupid fucking format to a WC. A one year build up, all that hype and emotion and you can go home after 2 games?? At least play ea other twice so it takes some of rhe luck out if it.

First game will go ahead for sure, no doubting that. For the second game it is touch and go... From 7 to 10 p.m BBC says low chance of rain. So let's see.

Can't help it guys, let's not get stressed out, we will see what happens.

Or dont play it in october in a rainy part of aus. It shows how much icc cares about minnows or how little importance its given that they cant play the world cup in jan/feb etc. Makes me angry. Even november

Zimbabwe had to jump through so many hoops just to get here. All the " minnow countries "have played well too.

poor game management in the end. just needed a little composure, get into the last 5 needing 40 to win with 4 or even 5 down. It's a classic Zim story I tell you that.

The UAE game
The Williams 6 adjudged caught at the WC vs Ireland
The Ireland tie
Now potentially a washout that will only have a negative outcome for us.

Wes will always go out to a poor shot, Always. And on such a big ground, that was poor from Shumba.

This defeat hurts. Fuck!

Forecast is to piss it down from 8pm local time on Friday.

Our World Cup is over.
