How did Mazai bowl? Contacts on the ground have said he's very similar to Richie when he was 18 and can swing the new ball
I think he destroyed the rangers in a match too.

That Ali Raza for Pak is going to be a great bowler. Some of those Pakistan players could bowl yorker's on command.

He's very much shorter than Richie, so I can't see him ever being that style of bowler.

Vitori seems a better comparison to me.

Why didn't he play in the previous game?
He's a decent bowler.

They're terrified about the weakness of the batting, so thought that they'd pack an extra batter in.

He certainly seems to be a better bowler than Chimoguro though.

Fuck me, Zimbabweans are so content with being shit and mediocre. They take every little crumb and think it's success.

We've been absolutely shit house this whole tournament. Genuinely the worst team. And here are ZC and some fans celebrating making the super sixes, like we achieved something. "Due to some brilliant fielder", get farked.

Any serious nation would know that Pakistan toyed with us. They bullied us to the point that the result was certain, then decided to have their fun. They basically said, "you guys are so shit, we would rather take you to the super six, than teams that could potentially do damage".

This U19 side is a damn shambles, but I bet you Mukhulani, Zolsky, and Elton will all be flipping each other off claiming they did something great.
