No we should have the edge on this Irish side.
The problem is we might actually be without Ballance AND Williams!! In which case we're in shit.
With both of them playing (unlikely) I'm sure Madhevere will sit out.
Evans is going to have one of those careers where he doesn't get much slack for poor games and will be in and out like a jack in the box.
It's clear they need a plan for the hitter. Have to keep him quiet.

That's bad, then he might be out for a few weeks, what disaster.
Congrats on 10000 posts mate!

Just watched the highlights. Feels like we repeat the same things after each game, even when we win.
Some of the shots were silly. Marumani was doing too much for his wicket and all his movement meant he was not in a position to hit that shot, but he still went wild. Two run outs, especially the types that we had were stupid. Why is Masakadza not running to the danger end to get the batter on strike. Also, why is Madande taking off for a 2nd run after the fielder has picked up the ball. It's all way too silly.
Bowling wise we look like when a batter gets going, we have no idea how to tackle them. We don't really know how to adjust our line and length or mix things up. I would like to say that these things will come but seeing the same mistake over and over makes me think that some of these guys will just never pick up on it.
Was disappointing considering it looked like a good crowd. We really need to start rewarding this support. We can't keep allowing Ireland and the like to think that they are better or on par with us.
Makorokoto Googly on the 10000!!

If the the youth brigade (Marumani, Madhevere, Madande and Shumba) keep performing like this then I think they might need to rethink on how they are just giving them caps even if they aren't playing well.
Ryan Burl is also another one. He is about to reach 100 international games and we still don't what his actual role is. 5 half centuries for somebody who is supposed to be a batting all-rounder is shockingly low. You can't even use his batting position as an excuse because we have been 30-4 so many times. He could have used one of those collapses to build a proper innings but his highest score is 59 after 94 games. That's not good.
If he is a bowler then we need to compare his stats to Mavuta and see. 5 in 94 means he is coming good once every 20 games with the bat. It makes me very concerned that even if he moves up the order he might not do so well. He has 4 centuries in 199 career games. Wes has 1 in 120 games. These guys might not be as good as we think.

Look at Marumani, Wes and mayonga score

Burl put 30runs behind them and won us the game...
