Will be a close match again, with the current squad we have sent to ZIM barring Dhoni and Bumrah there is not even a single player who was in the first starting XI during recently concluded WT20.

Surprised with the ODI results though but good to see ZIM bouncing back in T20's.
 
Looking at Pakistan current state. Indeed you should feel Zimbos as titans too.... Good going

Haha lol dont know why some of you take light banter so seriously :) No doubt our LOI is rubbish team and we don't do chest thumping about it.

But at least, we can beat Zimb in T20Is, and can't let them win 2 T20is in one year or so

Let's the excuses flow....
 
This is exactly Zimbabwe's problem - every time they pull off a good win they never are able to follow it up.
 
Who has scheduled this series? 4 matches are on week days out of 6 :facepalm:

These 2 need to string a partnership else they will fold for a low score.

Serious? Me? Nope... And well at least we dont lose tests against Zim.

Problem is they can be competent against likes of Unadkat and Rishi Dhawan (not even our C grade bowlers)

Today they are facing at least our C team attack excluding Bumrah.

But you can also lose to Zim in a test match with a full strength squad. :))
 
Put the past behind you, see your present and paint a better future.

Courtesy : GR :)

See thats what we gonna do today. Put rubbish bowlers in past. Include decent bowlers in present. Future will surely be better. :)

The thing with teams tier C like Zimbabwe, Pakistan, Afghanistan etc is that they keep giving you a false comfort that they will never be able to compete. You keep replacing inferior players with more inferior ones for fun and suddenly they give you a shock.

If they can beat India (Full strength team_ in Test, then surely they can beat Pakistan :)

Add to this, they did beat India twice in some ODI series not so long ago.

So if you want to go down more into history, be my guest :)

The problem with these Zimbo Afghan, Ireland is they can win one match here and there by a fluke, but they dont struggle to get more and more victories.

And re Pakistan LOI team, tbh, i don't think this team can even beat Afghanistan with comfort.

I would have listed BD also, but at least their LOI team has improved much.

Dhoni told him " Bumrah danda ke bahar mat dalna" i.e. dont bowl outside the stumps. And Bumrah castles another one.. Nice strategy
 
After this, will Dhoni give another chance to Rishi and Unadkat in last match?
 
Chigumbura's innings and the last over were the difference in the last match. Today it didnt happen

Useless Tour.

Sarfraz Khan, Pant and Samson should have made it to the squad instead of sending no hope guys like Rayadu. MSD should have been rested.

Actually bro i didn't watch match today, i was out and just came back :) Though as far i know about these new guys who are touring Zimbabwe, only there are 2 good players. L Rahul and Manish Pandey, especially Manish Pandey, dude should be permanent in national LOI team ( Though i would like to see him in Test too ) Rest of guys like Nair, Mandeep tbh i don't see them in national squad any soon (If we talk about deserving players)

Otherwise, Rayudu averages more than 50, hope you know what i mean :)
