Wow! Man still can't believe we went through this.

It started to turn around, just when I started watching too after work with that Cooper Run Out!!!

phew!

I dunno why Evans isn't getting more of the ball, especially at the death, he's proven many times that he can handle pressure at the end of chases, like the Pakistan game. Chatara shouldn't have been playing unless Ngarava was injured or something.

Ya neither team knows how to close a game out.
Craig's bowling changes I don't get.

Honestly Chatara was the last option I'd have thought of. Both Blessing and Evans were better options, Evans was the best as Blessing can sometimes be very wayward.

Ervine's captaincy is going to cost us at the worst moment this year. I'm sure of it

Evans has that dawg in him to bowl in crunch situations at the death and Blessing Muzarabani is our best bowler. No idea why Craig still chose TC to bowl at the end.

This just about gives some interest to the last game. Scrappy win but a winning nonetheless. Chopping and changing may as well bring back Ngarava for way past due Chatara. And I would bring in Kaia for Burl he really hasnt done much in these games.

Really happy Blessings level headed batting won us the game! We sure do have 9-10 batsmen in the team.

Raza and Williams should have been selected to captain more the ODI & T20I side in the past to be fair. I like them as captain more than Craig.

We should start definining roles..can't be randomly giving tasks to bowlers and batsman anytime. Evans should be developed as death bowler and he should be given the responsibility each time to close it . It was sad to hear from Wesley when asked which position he would like to bat ..he said he doesn't know .clearly meaning that. Roles are not defined
