4th T20I | Zimbabwe vs India | July 13, 2024

[secretzimbo]

Myers, Wes, Marumani, Bennett all played ODI innings today. We really need to play more domestic T20. We should be playing it throughout the year. These guys just don't get the T20 practice needed.

Jaiswal and gill opening with career strike rates of 160 and 140 respectively. Closest we have is Raza, he totally should be opening.

[sam_ahm]

Very poor start with the ball.

[Pat_Bee]

The wheels have come off

[CalZim]

A wicket will quiet them down a bit can’t let this get away from us

[mnelson68]

At least the bowlers can go at better than a run a ball

Raza might as well bring himself on.

We all know everyone will be patting the openers on the back and they are sitting there thinking they did a good job, but the reality is that their run rate and SR in T20 is not good enough. It set us up to fail. You limp to a decent total then expect the batters who come in after to motor and get to a big score, but they are not set and they are under more pressure, so they don't do that job.

We need a massive mentality shift. That is going to be Sammons toughest job. We have talented players, who become half decent and then decide that that is good enough. No need to go better than that. Why try to hit 60 runs when 30 is good enough for Zim standards.
