[Match Thread] 5th ODI: Afghanistan v Zimbabwe

[jaybro]

Yea kind of a backfoot cover drive wasn't it

That last 4 by Taylor reminded me of Steve Waugh a little bit

Yes lovely shot

Hopefully these two can deal with Rashid

We hoped too soon..Taylor out to the left armer

[jaybro]

Chisoro should have been bowling like the Afghan left arm spinner; bowling around the wicket stump to stump Bart line-pace-length

That one really hurt not sure how I feel about Taylor’s series he had that one big hundred which set up our win but got himself out 4 times once set which really hurt us

We need Taylor passing 50 more often

I really admire how Ervine has fought his way into form, not afraid to look ugly but getting the job done of finding his form. I had genuine doubts about his ability to turn this around quickly, but well done to him. Everyone else, except Raza probably, have massively thrown away better form.

From day one I said Ervine should be in this side, full stop. All the haters are being proved wrong...for now.

Even if David Attenborough or Morgan Freeman get in the commentary box with Waller coming into bat, they would not be able to keep their composure. Within a couple of deliveries, they would be rolling on the floor laughing in fact, wondering about our selectors...

Shock, Waller out for a duck sweeping.

And Moor and Burl (two younger, more worthwhile prospects) are left sitting on the bench

He's already back in the pavilion. Really is just poor cricket

And not many disagreed. Pointing out flaws in technique does not mean that people are asking him to be out of the side. People were mostly suggesting a lower batting position, which, in fact, has helped.

77-6, I'm off. See you later fellas. Same guys failing in games/scenarios we should be dominating. And Rashid Khan hasn't even bowled a ball yet.

Absolutely diabolical from our batters
