Well at the end of it all I think the tournament was slightly beneficial in showing strength and weekenesses. The team is not yet an attacking team that is the reason for the average perfomance. As they build confidence I am sure they will improve. I will praise Sean Williams for being the consistant perfomer and probably the teams best batsman, Masakadza played well as an opener. Seems we have a decent middle order which is good but the team still needs to be more attacking. Can we play tests? Not if we can consisitently take 10 wickets but then if Bangladesh got flayed by South Africa maybe its time we learn from pain....no pain no gain. I think the future is bright as long as the guys keep working hard right now they are not up to standard they need a bit more coaching and practise to learn to control games.
