Not a trace of movement in the air or off the pitch.
Both bowlers bowling all over the place and getting absolutely carved.
Pitch is an absolute belter.

I see SA won the toss and elected to bowl first.
Zim pitches are now known for this. There's absolutely nothing in it for the seamers.

Gotta try spin in the next 3 or 4 overs.
But it's game over.

First decent ball from Faraz. He's been all over the place

Antum getting carved here. Sweep then reverse sweep. Coming round made no difference.

And he's hitting decent lengths. These guys are just batting well on an absolute road.

A massive defeat loading here. I don’t think we have the depth to field 2 development teams at the same time. Ideally they should have picked 1 squad and scheduled this tour for when they got back from the UK

Spinners are now actually exerting some pressure and keeping overs tight. Too little too late though

No this is a decent side.
Game was lost at the toss. They're playing on a completely different pitch.
TK got a really good ball.
Welch went for an almost half volley drive that was probably on but it swung and nipped.
Knackers got a good ball that he probably should have left.
I didn't see Kaitano's wicket.
Really tough batting conditions in the first 10 overs.
4 of our best batters didn't get runs.

We'll win if we bowl first. I'll guarantee it.

Our seamers had nothing to work with and bowled poorly.
Spinners have bowled well and on deck that's playing true.

Macheka, Falao and Faraz should have bowled a lot tighter, but we needed 300 minimum.
I'm hoping they'll lose the next toss so we can see, but I defy any team to get 300 on the pitch this morning.
