We have better batters than Knackers. I will guarantee he will struggle against this bowling. Very heavy footed.
Funny 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.
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.

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.

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.
