Zimbabwe first of all have got the bowling wrong, far too many hit me balls, add to that no balls and free hits being given, that's rubbish.

Batsmen will always find it difficult when you've given 190+ for them to chase, at least today after keeping it tight for first 5 overs they should have done better. Should not have been chasing more than 170. Gave 20-25 extra runs in the end and that made the difference.

We are hopeless in this format. Good to see Burl get some runs. I don’t even think our strongest lineup could beat this Afghanistan in this format. They are very good and experienced at it

Another thing Zimbabwe needs to understand is that T20s are the future, whether we like it or not but it is a format many countries are now prioritozing so they've got to take it seriously and improve in this format.

I think Zimbabwe are best in ODIs, then Tests and last T20s.

Based on wins thats the order, but where i think if they do not get cheap dismissals they can be drawing and winning are the tests.

in odis in the last 10 whether bowling or batting we are just crap

someone just has a shit over or 2 always

Nah we are quite good In odis until the time when T20 skills are required like the last ten overs of bowling where we go for like a 100. It's like our players skills are stuck in the 2000s. we often don't get enough runs, getting 250 is not always enough, in the modern era.

Zimbabwe need to take NPL very very seriously.
We need to make sure that NPL will running without any delay after this covid phase.

We need to play domestic games maximum in all three format, otherwise qualifing to any format of work cup will become nightmare.

We can not point out to coatch(Rajpoot). Players need to improve their quality.

Sachin Tendulkar, virat kohli, Dhoni..even most of all Indian players works hard and practicing daily without miss.

Blessing, ngharva, nyuchi are far more behind in compair of other international bowlers. Not even Jarvis and chatara.

Guys I am sorry.. please don't feel bad but I am true Zimbabwe cricket team lover. I can not see them to lost them again and again.

SO,. I am sorry to all

Afghanistan are also a top T20 side. I wouldn’t be surprised if they made the semifinals of the World Cup. Let’s not forget that.


As for us I think we need to find some explosive openers for now. You can tell Tari can’t hit them far. That’s not his fault. We need a Mire or Zhuwao type of player up there. A guy we know if he is out there for 5 overs the damage has been done. We don’t have that right now.
