I also think Milton is a better bat than Ali. I'd rather have seen Milton come up the order. I don't know why he doesn't bowl much anymore. He's a clever bowler, nice pace variation.

Disappointing results as usual. Guys getting themselves a start and then fucking it up.
The results are shit but the players aren't. More exposure at this level and rhe better guys will learn.
Their bowling is tighter, that bit of extra pressure gives us problems always.

We had the worst of the batting conditions on both days for both our innings which is a shame.

Result is not a surprise really. We’ve taken what is basically a Zim domestic XI and played against a Div 1 county who will be amongst favourites for the county championship. Was always going to be a bit messy.

I heard this morning that two further counties were initially due to be flying out to join our Domestic T20 to make a 8-team comp. But fell through. Not sure why

Another very disappointing result really.

A significant reality check for some.

Durham are surely the heavy heavy favourites to win the T20!

I dunno about that. If Eagles have Blessing, Richie and Raza they'll be strong.

Another ordinary performance by Zimbabwe A side. I do agree that it was against a quality opposition and they did manage to get them out fairly cheaply but still this is quite concerning. Zimbabwe don't seem to be winning anything atm.

Burl should be back for twenty twenty along with ngarava and blessing.

Not sure on Sikander Raza. Multan Sultans still have a few matches to go

Especially with the Indian matches in the summer players should.be trying to excel in these upcoming matches in shorter format. Would be a great opportunity.

I doubt Raza will be back. Don’t Raza and Blessing play for the Rocks? Don’t remember because they rarely play domestic these days
