Agreed
India fielded terrible in this match. If they're going to beat any side, let alone Zimbabwe, their fielding must improve. They could just take a leaf out of our book, we've been electric in the field this series, bar a few drop catches from Graeme Cremer.
this is probably the first time since the 90s where i can see a team picked on skill without political interference or strange selections like maruma. the side that played would be close to the side i wouldve picked.
question is if jarvis comes back who do we drop? it would have to be prosper.

thats a very balanced attack with batting down to number 9. with a mix of patience and power with the bat.

On this forum we all (Myself included) criticise our pace attack. But i tell you what, Blignaut was bowling sharp. My dad has watched Heath Streak bowl and he said that Bliggie was bowling much quicker than Streak ever bowled. Mpofu looked sharp in the first match as well. If we can just get Kyle Jarvis fit, and possibly persuade Anthony Ireland to come back and play, our pace attack would be great !
