5:Strength And Weakness Of The Team
Strength
The Namibia Cricket team has a few best bowlers and batsmen. These batsmen and bowlers work hard for their team somehow to make their country famous and present their good cricket to the world. A player on this team named David Wiese. This player has gained a lot of experience by playing in Pakistan Super League, Indian Premier League, and all other leagues and he has shared this experience with his country players as well.
Weakness
This team is not a team of this level right now, this team needs a lot of hard work. This team should try to find talented bowlers and batsmen and develop the players who are batsmen and bowlers or all-rounders, I think there are many weaknesses in this team.
