I've been very encouraged by what I've seen from Curran. We've had a massive gap opening for a while now, so the fact he's come in and looked so assured lends hope for the future. Looks a bit iffy through the off side though.
Has a bit of graeme smith about him
I like how he's playing this spin. Looks very assured.
Ya for sure he's quite unconventional, but its working.

Would letting this seasonal? rain grow some grass on the wicket make for a livelier Bulawayo pitch next week/year? Asking in a tongue in cheek manner :D

That was Kaitano's fault but why the need for quick singles?

I think we're safe. Bad light isn't too far away

This is really quite poor. The only one we've seen so far who looks assured against the spin is Ben Curran. Williams is obviously adept to it but going forward we really are struggling when it comes to facing quality spin. Myers has had a gentle nightmare since coming back into the side

That carrom ball of Ghazanfar's is amazing. What a future he's got. I think from front on you can see a finger come up for a split second.

I'm loving this guy Zahir. The only aggressive spinner I've seen since Ray Price. He looks like he wants to kill you :lol:
