Zimbabwe vs Pakistan | 2nd t20 | 03 December 2024

Post by Pat_Bee »

I think we were a batter too light last game, I’d like to shore that up. I don’t even know who’s in the squad :lol: :lol: so I’ll go with Wez, not sure of the order, but it did feel from Ponzo down everyone was possibly a slot too high.

If it’s the same deck then Faraz is the man, pace off seemed harder to play.

Picking Gwandu is a total waste of time if he's only bowling 2 overs. May as well strengthen the batting , Wes can easily provide an extra 10 runs 🤣

When you have to select a bowling attack using the assumption you're going to be losing all 10 wickets in 20 overs?

Anybody willing to guess the team?
I want the guys with major question marks in that team-
Madhevere, Akram and Musekiwa.
In addition I want to see Madande, a forum favorite.

Musekiwa's innings of 9 off 11 when he had tee off didn't do him any favors...but he needs the exposure. Zim need to see if he's the right guy.
Gwandu I'm sure will be replaced by Akram, I think they have to try pace off and he can bat a bit.
Possibly Burl for Madhevere?

Same teams

Batting first. Can't fault them for giving the players selected every opportunity i guess.

Zimbabwe now abusing this whole young squad rhetoric. By comparison Zimbabwe actually have more experience than this Pakistan team yet they are being taken to the cleaners. Pakistan have a very new squad too. It really does say a lot about the level of our domestic cricket. When players move on to the international stage they are now all at sea. ZC should learn to put up a good T20 program as part of the domestic season and actually pick players on more than being a phantom big hitter, or a young gun. Players should be able to deliver when it counts. Performing once in every 20 games really doesnt count.
