Both have big scores to their names and should have better composure by now. Even Shakib was guilt of swinging coming in at 56/3 but that seems to be his game and he has a good success rate and enough self belief to pull it off.
Nice post...This time around Zimb will try to demoralize the role players especially when they have a good fielding side and clever bowler coach like Heath Streak. Our pacers are just so ordinary that they will take the advance of it. Also if you notice that few Zimb players are getting better at playing spin...they are already working hard to tackle Raz and Sakib duo...3rd match will be competative and only the top performer will win. 2nd match was two man show for us. We cannot rely on only two people every time we go to a competative match.
