[Match Thread] Zimbabwe v Afghanistan 3rd ODI

[sloandog]

Really really poor. I left to go to the gym and we were 174-2, with Taylor and Williams both going solid. Very poor score so far from the lads. We'll have to bowl exceedingly well to win this game

Very disappointing batting performance.

The last 10 overs was a disaster especially the last 2 …..

Not sure how confident I am with this total Chatara and Shingi really need to knock a few over early to take some pressure off the two spinners …..

Once again I wonder if Elton will bowl …...

[sloandog]

I hope he doesn't bowl. In a crunch game like this you need your best bowlers to bowl, and he can't be classed as one of them, at least not right now. If he's ever going to bowl it should be in a game where we have nothing to lose, in my opinion anyway

Gonna be close.

I'm worried that the Afghans will have figured out Kamungozi after the warm-ups and will target him.

I disagree although he can be expensive I remember him taking a lot of wickets when he used to get the new ball I feel bowling him in the middle overs doesn't suit him …..

I think he's the kind of bowler that would want that though. He really does not turn the ball, at all, so waiting for something to happen wont work in his favor. Where as if they Afghans come at him, he could use his flight to good effect. I dunno it's just a thought

Utseya's 0/35 would probably be handy with a low total like this to defend

Really need to make some early inroads here.

[jaybro]

Kamungozi is a different bowler pretty unique so hopefully it works in his favour …..

From what I've seen ( which isn't much ) he would be more effective when he is being attacked, I reckon you could defend pretty easily that's why his 1st class record isn't very flash …..

[jaybro]

Afghanistan off to a flyer here …..

[foreignfield]

Yeah, I reckon you guys are right about Kamungozi ... but I'm still worried .. and here they come, going after him
