Time to provide games to Shumba, Rochi, Mazawidhza, Schadendorff brothers, Mayers, Murray, Ives, Snyder.

Sri Lanka is promoting their under 19 skills in rebuilding phase, Zimbabwe needs to follow it, keeping in mind the WC qualification.

impressive from Raza 0/35 from 10 overs upfront very good effort. he played an Utseya spell.

These zim players just lack consistency and resolve. the only person who has displayed that of late is Waller hope his rich vein of form continues.

Well, we've just been bummed...Hard. Right back down to earth. I'm not worried about Moor in the sense that he doesn't have the ability, because he clearly does. I'm more worried of the fact that he's going to get himself/getting himself into a donward spiral, to the point where he probably wonders if he's ever going to score another ODI half century.

What is the utlity of bowling an impressive spell ? 5/50 is better then 0/35

Right, travel and not getting a chance to get even a glimpse of this match definitely came to my rescue.

A good indication on how poor the team is travelling is the little interest shown on the forum. Back when I first joined in 2013 an ODI match you get you about 15-20 pages of comments. Now there's only 4 ......

You would need a series win to generate that much traffic.
