I am soo disspointed!! Never felt this crosss!! Just when i thought young Vusimuzi was gonna hit a century home, he gets bowled out. Afterwards we lose wickets. I think we need to improve and be consistent with the bat.

The Queen’s Sports Club pitch has presented problems to Zimbabwe’s batting several times in recent months - on this occasion, I don’t think it’s understating the problem to say their inability to handle the pitch has cost them the match. This is something that really needs to be addressed, and soon.


The only plus out of this is that it was a lot closer than it could / should have been - between this match and the 1st ODI, Zim have shown that they can beat the big boys, if they can just keep their game together. The bowling now is more or less sorted - it's the batting that's the issue, but I've been saying that for about 3 years now, and I'm beginning to despair...
