Zimbabwe vs Afghanistan | 3rd t20 | 14 December 2024

[Marshmallow]

Thank you Faraz and Wesley for your contributions. Good luck for your future.

[Googly]

Surely Raza has to explain to Zimbabwe how he engineered to have Faraz bowling the last over in a series decider?
Look you're unlikely to defend 7 off 6, but Faraz is the least likely. I've been gob smacked a lot lately, but this was right up there with the best of them.

Jeez we bowled well, and Raza did good by keeping Blessing and Richie on, but that last over was a diabolical decision.
That was shit or bust for Faraz...and it was bust. That was a desperate bid to help his mate and all was revealed.
Don't say he ran out of good bowlers bud, you're allowed to juggle them to get the good ones to bowl the big overs

We have to shop around for a couple of batters that can potentially bomb them and have a higher ceiling than the current guys. We can look north south etc but probably just have to look 290km east.

Oh I heard Higgins is coming. Our new poor man's Ballance.
If there's Karma he'll fail.
Our scoop meister will cry bitter tears.

This is a new low for ZC. Un fucking believable.

[Marshmallow]

Higgins isn't he turned down the ZC offer before.
And Mawoza thinking ZC needed Tom curran in National team in 2027 wc.

[Googly]

I think someone got a second hand Honda Fit today. 280 000km lady driven to pump the social media.

Might be bullshit but his gran told her nephew who told my mate he's coming.
Grannies don't lie. If someone else claims scoop coming tomorrow we can call BS

They're drinking Green Label and Bitters tonite.
Wes did good though, 20 off 20. There's hope, 50 more caps coming.

They need a small case of Angostura, 50 over games loading. Please play the same 11. We need a year to establish this isn't our best 11. We're 2 months in, 10 to go.

Would have been better if it just kept on raining

Just imagine Zimbabwe can field a team like this:

T Marumani (wk)
N Welch
B Bennett
D Myers
B Curran
S Raza
J Campbell
W Mazakadza
R Ngarava
B Muzarabani
T Gwandu / T Maposa / B Evans

It still includes just 4 white players but looks a much better side on paper. It's not even like they need to field 6-7 white players... Just 4 would do... Question is are ZC ready to do this for their own good?

In their mind Raza is white too.

[Pat_Bee]

Four varungu and honorary murungu Raza in the ODI squad don’t honestly see how they fit them all in or where.

Curran opens and so do both keepers, so is Bennett down at 7 like the Pakistan ODIs? Musekiwa is the new generational talent finisher now though.

Curran in for Ervine would be logical but he’s the captain so not happening raza and Williams will give us up to 20 overs of spin so we’d be losing that if he was in for either of them.

This series could have been won if they pick the right players and fuck the quota system off. Marumani had no impact this series but was ok against Pakistan . I've seen this before with him and if he was white he'd be given the chop now. Wes shouldn't be anywhere near the national team at the moment let alone the t20 stuff ,madness. Burl's bowling is better than his batting and he's been out of form for a while now. Myers is worth preserving with , again t20 probably isn't his strong suite but I'm happy giving him time to establish himself. The Welch brothers, Curran and Jono are the ones that should be getting opportunities but we all know it won't happen

6 would do , 4 doesn't cut it
