1:49 PM IST ... THE PRESENTATION ...

1:49 PM IST Tough pill to swallow for Zimbabwe. Their opening match against Scotland was washed out and dare we say, that match would have been a much better chance for them to play as an opener. England were way too powerful and their bowling simply came unstuck.  But as a ray of bright light, one has to laud their batting, which showed positive character. They did not back down and were determined to play 50 overs. However, a change in mindset is needed.  As many as 4 batters got starts with 3 not converting. Additionally, the batters seemed to be content in avoiding losing wickets and not necessarily trying to change the tempo. Of course, this is at the grassroot level but these are the things they need to keep in mind for further development.
