Despite facing a clean sweep at the hands of Pakistan in home conditions, the Zimbabwean captain, Brendan http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Taylor-c92915, has some positives to be taken out of the second T20 against Pakistan, played at the Harare Sports Club on Sunday,
September 18.
Although the hosts lost the game by just five runs after coming very close to winning the game, Taylor said that his side’s performance in Sunday’s game was far better than the one they had lost by 85 runs on Friday.
"We showed better character, there is no comparison compared to the last game," said Taylor while talking to the media reporters after the match.

"All credit to Tatenda [Taibu], he showed his experience. Unfortunately no one could really http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Adrian-Roger-Kirshaw-Pierson-c42135 it out with him and get us over the line, but there were many more positives today," he added further.
Taibu was the highest run scorer amongst the Zimbabwean batsmen. His unbeaten knock of 37 runs from 28 deliveries was the most composed innings from a Rhodesian on Sunday night.
Taylor rued the singles his side missed during the run chase.
"We could have got some more singles, singles are very important in T20 and we tend to forget that sometimes," he said adding, "If guys ran harder and pushed the fielders harder, then over twenty overs you can make five runs.
It's frustrating but in the end it was a good game of cricket."
