1st post here :)

Family from Zim. Been following forum for a while (great place :)).

Burl and Ervine needs to step here set up nicely for them to play without pressure and build a big score.

In other news, Namibia absolutely crushes Kenya and will play against us tomorrow in a winner takes all circumstances.

Ajay Mehra, Devender, Neel whatever. Have never heard their names or who they played for in the domestic setup here.

There are better domestic commentators with lot of insights into the game here, who could have been preferred, like Amol Mazumdar, Rohan Gavaskar and Vivek Razdan.

Shock, Mire out to the sweep shot.

Doesn't come across as the brightest of sparks, does he? :roll:

Anyone know who these commentators are? Absolutely boring and could not give a rats ass
Forgot their names but I have looked them up and most of them are former Indian FC players. Not the most exciting bunch based on their commentary.
Thank you twiggy , yeh they are really average and just don’t seem interested at all.

It is criminal to be giving wickets to Mujeeb. He has nothing special really.

Exactly. That's what's most annoying

Something I've noticed with Ervine.

He tries defending balls outside off stump a lot, and when he does that he only plays with half a bat; hence why he snicks off a lot and is caught in the slips. Mujeeb just bowled a half volley outside off stump and he tried to defend it, but missed it. Leave it or play a proper shot man

Nabi into the attack.

Don't crumble here lads, just play him with respect. World class player whether we want to admit it or not

Just a point, and something I've noticed over the years.

When ever I see Craig Ervine reverse sweep the ball, it's like watching Andy Flower. He gets really low like Flower did and has that long reach. Slightly nostalgic :D
