i can't see how they will either - what i am wondering is; do these results boost their confidence (i mean they were still beaten with 7 overs to spare) or just remind them of how far off the international grade they are?


i hope it gives them confidence but then if they gain confidence getting beat what hope for a win in the future, with pride in losing?


i see that there are some bowlers with credentials: imo mupariwa can hold his head up - 33 wkts @ 22 ave and he's played SL SA OZ WI.
...and of course a lot has been said about utseya recently (at least his economy holds up well)
...rainsford needs exposure to some "A" teams but he still shows good promise

the batting leaves a lot to be desired (but then, it always did - not quite this but)}



btw wanderer, what did he say? they'd had a big breakfast and the bowlers needed thier food to settle?
