He's bowled with superb control and flight.
Nice to see he has a googly in his armory too!

Mpofu has been truly dreadful today, Jarvis and Mushangwe have been the only ones who look like they should be bowling at international level.
Neil Johnson, Alistair Campbell, Murray Goodwin, Andy Flower (w), Grant Flower, Dave Houghton, Guy Whittall, Heath Streak (c), Andy Blignaut, Ray Price, Eddo Brandes

Mpofu has his fine leg up. He's ran up, and bowled a 'slower ball bouncer' (long hop) outside leg stump. Bravo just paddles it around. It epitomizes how badly he's bowled today and how unintelligent he's portrayed himself

Definitely missed a trick here, we're one spinner shot! Hami, Waller & Chamu shouldn't have bowled.

Mpofu will come right. It's not for no reason that he's a regular for us in all formats. It's unusual for Mpofu to get pasted, or be wayward etc.

What is usual is for Jarvis to go at under 7rpo. He'll probably finish up above 6rpo!

What is wrong with Bobby today? Not sure I've seen him more erratic.

Because Chaks is more mobile in the field?

Can't help have a dig at Jarvis can you, even though he's been our best fast bowler by a country mile today, and a better bowler than Mpofu. Time to wake up and see sense

I agree. Don't like to 10 overs having to be made up from part-timers. Those three are really club standard bowlers.

He has looked pretty sharp in the field, hasn't he.
