[Match Thread]: Pak tour of Zim Odi Series : 2nd Match : ZIM vs PAK

Need another Tari to build this batting around. Can't really rely on Liam Roche or Murray just yet, given their age.

Enticing back somebody like Welch would be a very good shout, but we all know that won't happen

[Googly]

Tari has the talent in abundance to play at this level, just needs the right head space and we’ve got a keeper.

I'd be playing Kamhunukamwe ahead of Chari

Chari is not cut out for this level. Opening is the toughest gig of them all. I wouldn’t be an opener for all the money.
What little I’ve seen of Shumba I like, but they have to persevere with Ryan Burl.

[sloandog]

Left hander as well.

I will conceded that Burl is not a T20 batter, but you can see from ball one that his technique is in place. He has to be given a chance at the top of the order. Campbell was saying this on commentary during the tri series; he's a top order batter and he's not suited down the order. Sort it out selectors

A run rate of below 3 is just pathetic. Masakadza and Masukanda really need to kick on from here. Masakadza should be looking to put a better showing. He has been letting the team down. We all know he can bat. He should be looking to apply himself. The opening pair seem to have no clue at all. Losing Mire really hurt us. But Kamunhukamwe should get his chance up top. No use continuing with Chari/Chibhabha because its just not coming off.

[Googly]

I would not force the tempo at all, they’ll fuck it up. Just stay in the zone and the runs will come. We’re not posting 300. We just need to get some confidence posting 250 if we can and then hope for a good day with the ball. Most of our wins have come from defending fairly low totals.
It was good that we batted first. Scoreboard pressure gets us every time. Just bat, post a mediocre total without panicking and be sensible.

[TapsC]

There is no need to rush right now. These guys need to bat another 15 overs for us to post anything decent

[tawac]

All things will be good if our guys can manage to hang around but when you score 1 0ff 15 that's just sad.
