[Match Thread] 5th ODI: Afghanistan v Zimbabwe

[sloandog]

Blessing bowled well up top with Chatara. Very impressive opening burst from those two. It's imperative now that we keep up this tight line and take some wickets

[PSR]

We really need to learn how to build an innings from Afghans

[sloandog]

No real turn here for Cremer or Chisoro

Chisoro bowling tripe at the moment

So much for them being a bunch of sloggers

Chisoro bowling tripe at the moment

Absolutely. There more I see of him, the less am I impressed.

He’s very hot and cold

In his only test his first few spells were pretty fussy but by the end of the innings he really had some good Raytheon going.

In the end his bowling is only slightly better than Williams or Raza so for me once Williams is back there’s no room for Chisoro

[jaybro]

It’s so frustrating to watch this to see how Afghanistan do everything right that we do wrong

When their spinners bowl they put the ball on the stumps and vary line length & speed - Raza and Chisoro are short or on leg stump

The Afghanistan batsman showed patience and are playing the spinners straight down the pitch picking up the singles
- Zimbabwe batsman just try and play sweep shots and hit the ball in the air

They’re miles ahead no one can deny this and our only chance to qualify for the WC is a favourable pitch or if we get lucky in the day

Absolutely. There more I see of him, the less am I impressed.

What's wrong with giving Hami, Waller & Mire 2 overs each..
We are going to be using the 8-3 lineup anyways in the WC qualifiers

[jaybro]

Finally a for Raza
