maybe they would if they bowled more yorkers

Not much penetration in this bowling. It's a shame that Cremer has fallen out of favour in limited overs games.

are the boys going have a go at chasing this or just bat out to 120 -130 ??

180 is on the very edge of what this team is capable of chasing, I think.

I hope we aren't afraid of experimenting with the batting order. A pinch hitter like Vitori or S Masakadza at 2 or 3 down might not be the worst idea.

still no better sight than a Vusimuzi pull shot

vusi has got to learn to rotate the strike you cant let them bowl maidens

Good efforts by Hamilton, Williams, Waller and super from Chigs. But let down again by Vusi at the top. Who is worse with the reverse sweep premeditation? Taibu or Taylor? I think Taylor has overtaken Taibu now...

There's something about Zimbabwean wicket keepers and reverse sweeping isn't it?

I'm going to hold off on saying put it in the cupboard, because he can play it very well (in the BPL it was a really good asset for him). Maybe I'd say use it more sparingly... until he's got his eye in and has 15 or 20 on the board.

U can't play T20 without a lofted drive, it's the standard shot. He leans back and doesn't get his weight thru the shot. The trick is to learn not to premeditate a reverse. U can learn this in the nets with throwdowns. U give the batter on the stumps that he has to drive and then outside off that he has to reverse. If u do it enuf (hundreds) he will stop premeditating. Take it a step further and give it on a length outside off that he drives and then pitched up that he can get to the bounce and reverse. U learn what length and line u are comfortable with to reverse and wait for this ball.

Overly simplistic explanation but with many hours u can reduce the number of times u premeditate, because as soon as u do it becomes 50/50.

Well at the moment Williams and BRMT keep getting out playing the reverse sweep so maybe they should practice it more it the nets and not play it in the middle until they have mastered it .....

I'd much rather watch BRMT get out playing a lofted drive than the reverse sweep .....
