T20 World Cup - Zimbabwe v Ireland Match Thread (October 17th)

Can't get over that shot from Williams, why did he do that, they had already got so many runs from that over! Why???

Evans is a better bowler than both probably..........But I like this mix because Larry brings experience and Jongwe can defend at the death. Blessing's height and Ngarava's left arm. We've got 4 seamers who are all really different, I like that mix.

Evans offers whatever point of difference Jongwe does and is a better overall bowler and very likely a better batter too. However being able to bowl 2 very good powerplay overs which Jongwe has done in recent times can be the difference between a win and a loss.

Evans does not offer any point of difference whatsoever. He bowls decent line and length which is probably better suited to ODI and Test cricket. Chatara would be the one at risk for me, but I'd go with him in a world cup for his experience.

Jongwe has proven himself to be very valuable in T20's specifically. Evans is the new entrant remember. Jongwe is the incumbent in this format, he has got to have a bad run and be dropped before Evans is a shoe-in imo.

Both all rounders are pretty handy. Neither is leaps and bounds ahead of the other so dont think we can be too critical. Hard to pick

Sikki you legend!!!

Shumba better not give his usual less than a run a ball nonsense here.

If raza can score as quickly as is, I see no problem. Need to hold it together until the 15th over

[Jemisi]

keep em coming

We just need to be sensible. We don't have the wickets in hand to consistently be aggressive.

I think Ireland might need to re-think there short ball tactic

8 overs left. If we can hit 80 more in these last 8, we're at 179 which looks very tasty. Come on Raza

I think Dave has clear indication ..go the england way ..swing and keep swinging..i think most of us would think silly shot from Williams . .Dave would say ..well played hard luck to him
