Netherlands ODI Series - Discussion

[CalZim]

Zim XI for that warm up game, basically the A side:

Faraz Akram (c)
Brian Bennett
Jonathan Campbell
Chamu Chibhabha
TK Chivanga
Luke Jongwe
Timycen Maruma
Ernest Masuku
Nyasha Mavayo
Nkosana Mpofu
Carl Mumba
Ainsley Ndlovu
Victor Nyauchi

Somebody must really rate bennett to give him these chances, its really good to see.

Interestingly this suggests that Mavayo is the next keeper in line in one day format.

Looking forward to seeing chivanga and Nyauchi rip through the Dutch.

Musa Ahmed doesn't seem to like the short stuff from Nyauchi, played a few false shots so far.

Dutch off to a good start 60-1 from 8 overs. Not helped by 14 wides so far

What has Jongwe been eating, he is looking huge.

Is van der Merwe not in the squad? Or does he just do T20’s now?

He is in the squad

[CalZim]

Annoyed that Campbell has bowled 9 overs, he is a relief bowler not one of the 5 that should take most of the overs!

He has bowled okay today but the Dutch have been poor with the bat. Nyauchi and Tk should have come back on finish these off earlier.

They have a seriously long tail if Shariz ahmed is batting at 7, he would probably bat at 10 for us. Presume Tom Cooper and Van de merwe are being rested before the first game

Campbell mopping up the tail now what do I know about cricket

[mnelson68]

Campbell 4/35 off 10 overs , great spell of bowling.

The seamers are too inconsistent and bowl too much rubbish

[CalZim]

Campbell 4/35 off 10 overs , great spell of bowling.

The stats look great but honestly it wasn't as good as it looks on paper, I watched all of it and wasn't impressed.

The last couple of overs were really good, ideal bowling to tail enders.
