*Official* Zimbabwe in Australia 2022

[Chubb]

Wes ? shame no ton.

 

[Chubb]

Good knock Madhevere. Batted really well. Looks a good cricketer.

@Prince EWS thinks if Wes doesn’t become a 40+ avg bat Zim will drop out of test cricket. I’m not so sure it is that dire but he certainly has the ability to do it.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Green with the junktime wickets

 

[TheJediBrah]

If Stoinis isn't bowling he shouldn't be in this team ahead of Head or Marnus. Or Wade even.

That Aussie line up looks like a side I would have selected with bowling and batting optiosn galore. Not very sure the 4 allrounders from 5 to 8 is the best bet though, but maybe they are thinking they will get Agar in there for Green for the WC, which would make sense. Or maybe Agar for one of Stoinis or Mitch Marsh as Green seems more of a 3rd seamer than either of them.

Stoinis has to be the first one out of this team for sure. Green is a better batter and bowler than him

yeah its well known how little i rate travis head as a test bat but i also not being an idiot recognise he's a really good LOI cricketer and by far better than stoinis is, esp for the team's balance - mmarsh sort of makes stoinis obsolete in any event lol

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Out doing other things right now, how fast is Evans bowling?

 

[TheJediBrah]

Actually, it should probably be Finch. He's looked done for a while now but he won't be going anywhere until after the next World Cup

 

[Apex Predator]

Zim are better at chasing. Hopefully they win the toss next game to make this interesting. Top stuff by Green today. Ryan Burl needs to start making his chances count.

 

[TheJediBrah]

The wickets will be good for Green and he bowled well but let's not get carried away. He got 5 caught on the boundary and didn't bowl any better than Hazlewood or Marsh

maybe in T20, but Stoinis over Marsh all day in ODI's. Is weird that he's not bowling though.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Marsh is comfortably superior to Stoinis in ODIs in all aspects

Stoinis also can't play spin to save his life which is an issue with the World Cup in Asia

 

[TheJediBrah]

This will be an interesting decision

Edit: lol wow. Also they lose a review for that

 

[Apex Predator]

Raza strikes... Contribution with the ball at least

 

[Apex Predator]

Oh f**** off that's just blatant cheating

 

[Apex Predator]

This is exactly like last night's Nissanka DRS dismissal.. Equally sh*** both

 

[Chubb]

Are you seriously telling me that wasn’t out? ****.


That’s disgusting. Let’s just **** over the bankrupt sub Saharan African country whose players get treated like ****.

 

[TheJediBrah]

No evidence really that he hit it but if he didn't then why would he walk off like that

it was pretty obvious on the replay, a clear deviation, there just wasn’t a hotspot.
