ZvT is... harder than it should be

I played what I thought was one of the hardest ZvTs I've ever played. Satisfied in winning the game, I checked back to see the replay. To further my satisfaction, I saw that the Terran had >300 apm, so I thought to myself, 'a legit win, nice'.

But then I saw the replay. The Terran forgot to get second gas, had zero multitasking skills (he forgot to upgrade his marines till I had 0/2), and basically really sucked hard after midgame.

How did I have such a hard time?

I realized two possibilities:
1) I didn't make that many drones at midgame. But I had too few lurkers as it was. What was the problem? I want to have good drone count + many lurkers.
2) I morphed 3 pairs of scourge out of a hatchery instead of 3 mutas. Yes, big fail right there.
3) I should have defended my base with mutas instead of harassing? I don't think this is right, because if I didn't attack with mutas and used them as defense, they would have been a collossal waste.
4) I built too many sunks midgame (5). But this was necessary because he had 4 groups of mnm.

Arg... why was it so hard to win :|

Please refer to replay.

You should check his EAPM to classify it as a "legit win". Everyone can just 1313131313 to get 300+

Defending with your mutas is better than losing drones/hatcheries. As long as you can deflect his attack, you can still send the mutas to his base forcing him to defend.

Things T missed:

- Upgrades: IIRC, he was at +0 +0 until like 13 minutes into the game and stayed on +1 +1 the entire game

- Completely forgot to build a Science Vessel asap, thus loosing his timing

- Not rebuilding enough SCVs

When I watched the replay, I often thought that you could have finished him a lot earlier (especially with that Dark Swarm Push to his natural). However, you played it well by not being over aggressive, since I don't think you knew how poor his Upgrades and overall economy were. Because if he had his Upgrades and a strong economy ready, you'd be punished for overly aggressive play. Oh and nice APM/EAPM, you seem to be very quick.

THANK YOU. I overestimated the quality of posters at TL, though a blog is probably not the best place to ask for advice.
