He can pretty much bowl who ever he likes now because they all have overs up their sleeves …..
Can you imagine this approach against SA/ Aus and getting away with it? This looks like desperation more than plan, really. And even if it is a plan, it only seem to be working against the Afghans. We need our bowlers in form, and our skipper to be on top of his thinking abilities. As long as that is there, and we whitewash the Afghans, I won't be complaining :)

It's the same online scorer, and a Zimbo obviously, who has scored the previous matches. It's really great that he adds a bit more colour to the picture today.

And Red strikes! :W:

Need another couple....
Nabi has shown he can hit the long ball and I'd really like to see the back of him.

I guess there's absolutely nothing in it for the seamers in the second innings.

BT has made some great changes today, or he has been frightfully lucky.

If Zimbabwe pull this off then I'm definitely going to eat my words. Like CrimsonAvenger, on paper I think a lot of these bowling changes seem really unusual and risky. But if it works, then they've all been inspired choices...
