Match Thread: Zimbabwe "A" vs Canada 2nd OD (28th February)

But it's good to get batting experience in tough conditions than flat decks.

You're surely trying to win the game? This bowling is very ordinary apart from that left arm spinner. This big west Indian dude took wickets in the WC but he's not quick.
The other black left hander looks a good bat.

If you won the match by escaping from facing tough questions, it's not going to help in the long term. In international games, you're going to face much more intense conditions and opponents, so this hide-and-seek strategy is not going to help.

It is basically international isn't it? Its A team players trying to get on the radar, wouldn't they want to give the bowlers the best conditions and the batters? If our A side smacks Canada it's a much better look than being perennially beaten.
The pitch isn't too bad actually. A bit of tennis ball bounce, we'll see what the spinner does on it.

The tricky spinner is on now. He's decent.

Batters should play against tough conditions and rectify their mistakes with the help of an analyst, and bowlers should do the vice versa.

[Googly]

Well historically the pitch nips, sticks and bounces in the morning So if a good ball deviates half a bat width and you edge it you're done. Nothing to rectify. Hold your line and if you get a good ball so be it. Leave well.

Time in the middle makes you better, not sitting in the hut analysing why you got a duck because the pitch was lively amd you got a jaffer

Not much to analyse in the bowling dept, bowl good line and length top of off, wait for some assistance from the pitch and/or then batsman to make a mistake.

We're likely to beaten this game, having said that we've still got Jongwe and Munyonga to come, it's a long line-up. We're tired of taking the positives out of yet another loss.

Mayavo survives a plumb lbw but he got a really shit decision yesterday. This spinner is really sharp, he's bowling half a foot too full though.

[Googly]

Now survives a terrible dropped catch off a terrible shot. Trying to sweep a ball that wasn't quite there and top edges it.

Dion batting really well.

[Googly]

Doesn't survive the next delivery from Zafer, who dragged it back half a foot, obviously read my post. That was another really poor shot. Mayavo has a lot of work to do.

Munyonga at 7 as a specialist batter. This will be a good test, Saad Zafer is a quality spinners for sure.

Myers survives a close LBW there. Maybe going down?
