213-4 in the 45th over, there's just no bite in the bowling, surely somebody out there is capable of taking a few wickets .........

With a decent batting effort victory is possible the score isn't out of hand ......

Need a better start to the batting in this match ......

Need a miracle more like .....

From 217-5 from 45.3 overs to 282-6, total carnage yet again, these players are simply not capable of scoring 283 from 150 overs let alone 50

Death bowling is shithouse ......

Have we seen enough of Mpofu yet??

Vitori is a wicket taker but wouldn't bowl him at the end ......

Tiripano in the wickets again usually does better at the end .....

Big chance for a young batsman to stake a claim here .....

Which idiot said with Hondo's guidance we would clean sweep this series ???

Mpofu's only 29, you can't write him off.
But he's very much a known quantity, I don't think he's going to start putting fear into the minds of opposition batsmen now. And his batting doesn't help him.

Maybe he could concentrate on becoming a Test specialist. He'd provide good depth if say Panyangara went down, because that's who he'd be competing with. Vitori and Chatara and the faster guys would be competing for separate spots.

Some signs of self respect from the batsmen today, it could even have been a fairly close contest if Bangladesh hadn't been allowed to take 70 off their last 5 overs, better luck next time ? ............

Most of the top order got a start really needed 1 or 2 guys to pass 50 ......

Just wondering here. Would playing more T20s help our bowlers. Because our death bowling is not getting any better.
