Suits me yo enables us to speculate how Jongwe would have made a blistering ton and dug us out this hole.secretzimbo wrote: ↑Wed Dec 13, 2023 10:09 amWeather looks unbelievably bleak. Let’s hope it stays so

Not just needed for the purposes of saving our cricketing blushes.
Rain is genuinely very welcome currently! The farmers will be relieved

Pretty much this.secretzimbo wrote: ↑Wed Dec 13, 2023 8:56 amAs I said the other day if Raza doesn’t score runs then we lose.
Doesn’t really matter which batters we pick, how many, or what order they are in.
And very concerning that he is at the age most players retire or are about to retire.
And imo he has never truly proven himself as being anything other than an associate basher (which he does very well).

I think that’s harsh considering he’s played and done well in every league around the world.
Century against India last time we played them.
Has had good test knocks over the years too etc.

All the Irish have to do to get KLong out is bowl spin up frontTapsC2 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 13, 2023 9:17 amAt the moment it's better than Wes getting a 10 ball 6. I think if you have an aggressive opener working with him like what K-Long did it's ok. You need an end which is safe. Today the openers got 56 off 74 balls which is not bad when you see we are 120 something for 6

So why pick them in the squad ? What is the benefit in having players in the squad that you dont trust ? I've never in my life seen a 5 batsman line up unless there are genuine allrounders in the team.TapsC2 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 13, 2023 9:19 amBurl is the one who caused chaos today. It wasn't extremely bad before those 2 deliveries.
With the 5 bowlers they clearly backed Mavuta and he repaid them. Its not an easy fix because there is every chance a Shumba or Munyonga gets a duck then adds nothing to the game after that.

It’s 6, not 5. And Jongwe and Mavuta have first class centuries
