Zimbabwe vs Pakistan | 1st LOI | 24 November 2024

[Googly]

Makes me laugh the prize money

But then they'll offer $30 000 prize money in the absolutely meaningless NPL

I don't understand the wicket-keeping situation. Why did Marumani have the gloves? He's not bad, and clearly he took a couple of good catches today, but Gumbie is unquestionably a better wicketkeeper. They both open the batting so that isn't an explanation either. Was Gumbie injured or something? makes no sense.

So many options. This is a good space for Zimbabwe to be in. We have 2/3 good players who can play the same role. Good space to be. We just need to see who does what. No need to overload players risking injury. To think no more than a year ago in the test against West Indies we were scraping the bottom of the barrel trying to find a playing 11.

This country always does this to me. They are super poor in the 1st half, then I wake up and we have somehow won.

Imagine if we could just get our shit in order and be consistent across the whole aspect of the game. Batters do their job, bowlers do their job.

On a side note, what was with the Orange caps? I hate Ihsan sports as our kit supplier. Has Mukhulani got an investment in the brand or something?

Orange caps were a one off, for a local charity. Pakistan also wore them, which was a nice touch from them.

Kidzcan fundraiser. Like pink day in Australia or red day in England I suppose.

For the kids,
but probably Mukhulani's kids.

To afford gold crusted toilet lids and a home chef for KFC when they hungry.

Ah ok. Extremely random colour for cancer, unless I'm just not used to orange being used. Feels a little poorly organised or done though.

Still think Ihsan kits are terrible. Surely we can do better than them. We can't be getting that much money from them. There must be a supplier out there that is wanting to partner with Zim cricket and can actually produce a decent looking kit.
