Zimbabwe A vs Pakistan A

[sloandog]

Well bowled Brad Evans. Hopefully he's sealed his place in the qualifiers squad now

Not really, he was all over the place and took a couple of tail ender wickets with full tosses... At ODI level he would get smashed

Yet Nayauchi and Muzarabani failed to take those tail end wickets and instead got smashed. He got 3 wickets in the 49th over and went for one run. A damn sight better than anybody else I might add.

Great shot from Marumani and then a very very average shot.

Really need this boy to click at some stage. Indisputably and unequivocally has the talent to succeed. Just needs to apply himself.

That's the problem he doesn't know how to apply himself , can't continue to lose early wickets . No chance of being competitive against better opposition with such poor starts every game

Ya, there's no way you can write Marumani off with his level of natural ability and also having seen some of his previous domestic exploits. But clearly now is not his time for international cricket. Needs some time away.

The wickets he took had no significant impact on the overall total Pakistan obtained, and he also bowled inconsistent lines has no real pace... he is no different from someone like Jongwe. He definitely hasn't earned a starting role yet for the WCQ

Clearly not a fan of Evans. You'll have to throw Victor into the same bracket then

I don't think that's a bad idea at all. Just needs to develop more confidence in opening the batting and become more consistent

I really want Gumbie to do well. He looks like a fighter and he looks to get behind the ball but honestly, from what I've seen, there's no way he should be playing in place of Kai.

Victor hasn't performed either but is a more talented bowler, gets swing and can actually trouble top order batsmen when he is on song

Evans has a higher ceiling than Nyauchi for sure.

Brad is just wildly inconsistent at the moment and frustrating that he doesn't seem to bowl with 100% effort. But potential to be a far more useful than Nyauchi eventually. And I don't dislike Nyauchi.

Someone will have to come and increase the rate. Without Williams and Raza it's going to be difficult ..lot depends on burl today
