I see that Bobby still has vulnerabilities in the 120s

That Babar-Haris 100 partnership was very fun and boring at the same time.

Had to shield the Dynamic Duo from the new ball

Harry still there with the tuk tuk

But Shady seems to have found another gear.

Yea the captain bowled spinner in 49th over. And then Faheem hit 5 sixes in the 50th.

Shadab is probably capable of a quick fire innings against spin but not quality pace unlike Faheem who can do it against both types of bowlers.

The opponent is not even Zimbabwe. Bakwaas.

Okay okay it was Oman but I think Zimbabwe without their main players are at the same level as Associate nations. If they have the same squad as T20Is then it will be an epic phainty.

This will be one sided series. Zimbabwe are missing a few key players and even with them, their chances are slim. So a 5-0 result coming up.

Zimbabwe are taking this very lightly. Maybe testing their bench strength?

If Aus B team smoked Zimbabwe out the park in the T20s, we should be doing the same with a strong side. But I'd rather rest some of the key bowlers and let others have a go. Even test out the batting too and change things up.

Zim preparing for WC 2023...At least 1 team is preparing for the WC
