What umpires for these qualifiers?
That fat fuck and his sidekick were robbers.
Today wasn't too bad, but some shockers prior to that.
No we're better than Namibia I think. Results don't reflect that but we can improve big time.
They have two good batters, doesn't look like it but we have more.
Where they are better than us is their spin.
Their seamers are dibbly dobblers, apart from Shikongo, who gets it to hoop, but their control is damned good.
Our lads really need to sharpen up. They're better than this.
If you look at the stats I'd have to agree I guess. That wicket was turning. You could excuse him for getting that slightly wrong. The spinners let him down by a couple of loose deliveries, so in hindsight looking at the returns it looked obvious that he should have stuck with Larry and Rich. Maybe Rich should have had one more over as he really bothered the batters. I thought he'd bowled Raza one too many but then he took 2 wickets that over.
Raza bowled poorly throughout the series, I thought.
He bowls too fast and what little turn he might get from his variety of "mystery" balls is negated. Bowled a few rank half trackers which is inexcusable from an offie.
I think Ainsley took a lot from this series.
What bemused me was our batters seeing that pitch and thinking they could slog their way to victory, knowing their spinners are sharp.

Kaia and madhevere played really dumb shots. I understand its 20/20 but kaia didn't even have a look at the fast bowler before running halfway down the track

Houghton has done a lot for this side. A series loss against namibia which is essentially a warm up for qualifiers should not negate all the good he has done.
Let's see how the qualifiers go and then judge.
We need Williams muzarabani and Evans back for sure.
Antum navqi could also come into the equation

I’d rather lose with a team of Zimbabweans than win with a random Pakistani we’ve recruited

Something is wrong with the side ever since we reached the Super 6 of Qualifiers.
We need results, I don't care how they come. Enough of this losing shit.
Had it not been for Raza, this was lost 0-5. Do we even understand the seriousness of this situation?

Don’t think this is warrantedmnelson68 wrote: ↑Mon Oct 30, 2023 5:17 pmI didn't watch the game , but seriously what is Ervine doing ? His captaincy is very poor, the 2 best bowlers today were Ngarava and Chatara yet they didn't bowl out their 4 overs ? Unbelievably poor , no match awareness at all and it happens time and time again in different scenarios.
I forgot the game was today but looking at the scorecard yo chatara was 2 balls from completing his 4 over spell and they had an over in hand, which was obviously going to be Ngarava. They just bowled them out before it got that far.

Dave is a good lad, hope he can get us to the World Cup.
Even with a back door passport surely he wouldn’t be immediately in the team? Be like oh yeah I was a Zimbo all along and just forgot that part
