Well batted Sean Williams and now well batted Keith Dabengwa

I'll readily admit that i've rolled my eyes a few times when Mr Dabengwa has been selected, but he's earned his selection this time

Still a long way to go for those first innings points but great spirit being shown facing a 450+ target

Hats off!!!!

Hats off indeed! We have had different people saving our face by sheer magnitude of runs scored in a match throughout the ICup season. Taibu, Vusi, Ervine and now Williams. Excellent stuff.

And very well batted Dabengwa too. Hope these two can carry their form back to the next Tuskers game

This is his level, see (and arguably Vusi's as well). Senior squad, not so much - although this knock could well earn him another callup.

94 more to secure first-innings points. I make no prediction of how likely we are to manage this.

Today I will be mostly very proud of Keith Dabengwa.

Well done Kieth! Great stuff, those of you who are worried about the 6 points, they should be there for the taking now... Guys have really showed their worth.

One thing though, those of you who know about pitches, should it be a concern that the Harare Sports Club is high scoring - ie this case?

400 up !!!!!

Excited for Sean Williams. I hope this is the nudge the selectors needed to get him back into the side, hopefully in time for the South Africa series.

And well done Keith. My old school mate.
