Well it is high quality swing bowling that would trouble all batters. That's a fact. But if you just stand in your crease and start looking like a bunny rabbit and let them bowl at you, you're fucked. This level of bowling they own the first 12 overs, I don't care who you are.Kriterion_BD wrote: ↑Thu Dec 19, 2024 12:25 pmFunny how "that" bowling always seems to become "this" bowling against Zimbabwean batters. One day it could be Mitchell Starc, the next day Josh Little, and the day after that Riazat Ali Shah.

Looked like Williams was playing a different game to everybody else

A massacre this

Ervine and Williams are finished. Zimbabwe will be better off replacing them with Nick Welch and J Campbell. It's a white for white replacement so shouldn't hurt ZC all that much.

32/6.
Now I understand why Afghans don't want to play against Zimbabwe that often.

Shouldn't be surprising. It's a team that couldnt even make a 20 team T20 WC and lost against Uganda.andrea lanzoni wrote: ↑Thu Dec 19, 2024 12:39 pmtoday it is a humiliation, I'm appaled. Really embarassing

I fully agree.
From my ousider point of view it's however a pity that there's always to consider if a player is white or black.
Opportunities are to be created for grassroot cricket, not with racial quota system in the national squad.
Whoever implements a race-based quota system is himself the true racist.

We contributed more extras to Afghans total than our combined total. Definition of f^cking yourselves.
