Yeah that’s fair :lol: Can’t knock it either though, 8 off 6 required, he did what was asked of him as the finisher.

You’d be clutching at straws to find an extended match winning innings from him. Ireland last year is the only one that comes to mind.

I went to the stadium to watch the boys. Being an Indian who has followed zimbabwe cricket passionately for more than 18-19 years, I had High hopes. It was unreal feeling to see the boys in real. Coming to the game. It was a nightmare experience. While watching on Tv you can switch off whenever you're team is not doing well. But no such option in the stadium. The entire first innings so suffocating as a supporter. Those catches dropped were very routine could have changed the entire complexion. In hindsight, probably should have batted first. Atleast we would remained in the game longer. Things to notice were majority of the crowd was supporting zim and people really rate Raza high. As soon as he was dismissed. Half of the stadium moved out including me. Bottom line is it's very difficult to watch a game in the stadium when your team is being hamerred.you feel terrible with no option to unsee whatever is happening.

Just watched the highlights, unfortunately they cut out most of Myers innings.

If Brad could do that more consistently with the bat, it would add more balance and depth to the side.

Tony hit that like a tracer bullet straight to the fielder. I would keep him in for the next game but Musekiwa i would drop/rotate for Curran.

Like Doggy has said, some of these blokes can be 12th man and just field.

What a game. Thats how you try chase down an impossible total. The key to that is everyone up to number 9 has to be able to clear the ropes. Thats the future. Flat tracks.. small grounds

Well played to Jacob

22 year old and almost won them the game

Buttler got off to an ok start but went back to his usual cross batted hits and missed out. 9 dots, only if he had focused on timing the ball , powerplay couldve been 80-2
