Thought that was a no ball. Even still it stayed low. Is what it is

Ya i tend to agree. The game is gone, barring a miracle draw. He needs to play some shots and hope for a lucky 50 to have half a chance of playing the next test.
He's been under the microscope, not a ball to hit really and some negative commentary which fortunately he csnt hear :lol:

Anyone else catch Darlington just before that Williams wicket saying knackers has citizenship through marriage?

But then Williams was bowled so the conversation didn’t carry on.

If this is true then he should be qualifying soon. I think add Naqvi and BT to these guys and we will be better. I must also admit seeing Mulder play has shown me that they should have negotiated with Higgins. That profile is crucial in this format

So the connection he has with Zimbabwe is Solomon Mire who coached him Australia, not sure if this was also common knowledge?
The higher you go the cooler it becomes.

For the love of Lebanon can we please not put our hope into a club cricketer from the Northern Territory.

It’s okay. The import of Naqvi and the return of 40 year old BT will help paper over the cracks and the cold hard fact that ZC have still not developed a single high quality international batter in over 20 years of trying.

Who are you referring to? I know Kasprowicz was often called Knackers, but unless you are suggesting him as a coach, he definitely ain't playing.

It's quite obvious what our problems are. But the powers that be won't fix it. They'll just keep gatekeeping the sport and the money, and when we get a win every now and again, praise themselves as the messiahs and nothing will change. Expect more results like this. All the big teams will just keep playing their B and C sides against us now.

Nick playing well but he is so heavy with the bat. Needs to soften his grip I think and play with softer hands
