That’s what Raina and his rouges picked from the Windies to Zimba to India to Lanka. They dropped their pants in the one-dayers, then they put them on, and got lucky with the toss. You’d expect an India A side to beat the Zim mainstay. Didn’t happen, and it’s swell the toss worked as an alibi.
But the WTF T20 series, that was an assault on the non-senses, could the BCCI not evict their team once they didn’t make the finals. Instead the boys had to see Victoria falls I presume.
Yusuf Pathan became man-of-the-match. Then Yusuf walked in, with little to do except hit a six and win the game. But the wily Zimba boy, bowled a short ball, and how could he let it go – so he tonked it, well within the 30 yards. He got out, as did his judgment. That was entertainment.
Which the Zim commentators are not – they will tell you about Yusuf, “when he hits it, it stays hit”. They will also call Naman Ojha – Dinesh Karthik. And then comes the smug Tony Greg looking down on God’s creation and Arun Lal, which is ok, because A Lal looks down on A Lal.
The WTF T20 series. Everyone gave a flying fck. For miles and miles.

Zimbabwe let India down, again.
It isn't India's fault, really. It isn't Yusuf Pathan's fault for taking a short ball on the body. He can't play them, how the hell will he try and hit them? It isn't BossDK's fault, he likes playing the reverse of straight. It isn't Murali Vijay's fault, he's new to so many formats in so little time. It isn't Amit Mishra's fault, he's not used to playing three games on the trot. It isn't Yadav's fault, he still doesn't know how he has the visa to play here. It isn't Nohit Sharma and Raina's fault, they were unlucky to get run-out. It isn't Kirsten's fault, this is too close to home.
It is Brendan Taylor's fault, who does he think he is, Andy Flower? It is Andy Blignaut's fault, who does he think he is, Heath Streak? It is the other Zim boys' fault, who neither you nor I nor our team know by name, face or the clubs. They are Zim-babe-way, no way are they supposed to play like this. How could they? Send them a showcause notice. Then let's see how they defend themselves. Hah! Zim-babe-way, they can't even make it to the IPL.
