It's only day 3. Rain has held off, pitch may well deteriorate.
We've had some chances. Seamers keep bowling at the batters, could have tried a few overs of short stuff. Could have given nyamhuri the new ball.
It's been fairly unimaginative.

Rahmat could crack 300 in this game. Williams and Ervine must be spewing that they didn't go on and make big daddy hundreds.

This puts our first innings into perspective a bit, but it's not a bad thing to play on a deck like this from time to time because it's given Bennett and to a lesser extent Curran some nice memories at this level. And the subcontinent teams (looking at you Pakistan) regularly get to pad their stats on highways.

Maybe Myers is worth a few overs. Masakadza used to be our medium-pace golden arm and we need someone like that right now!

Ya Myers should get a couple of overs. Good idea.

Look heading towards a draw but some better fielding would make a difference.

Do you know the history of Myers ancestry Googly? Did a European marry in to the family at some point?

Our bowling is definitely a problem, despite what people think. Not one of our seamers can bowl 4 probing deliveries, never mind 5 or 6. It's ridiculous how many balls have been worked onto leg side for comfortable runs by the batters.

No I don't, bud.
But am fairly sure its not a Shona name. They're the only Myers I've ever heard of. Even Dion is quite an unusual name for a Shona guy, I'm sure there's an interesting story there.
Maybe a great great grandparent?
You have one of those in NZ or Australia you're tattooing the fuck out of yourself and thanking your ancestors for jumping the fence and you're getting some free shit :lol:

So it's interesting, there's a very big coloured community in Bulawayo. They literally have their own culture and tend to stick together.
