Do you know the history of Myers ancestry Googly? Did a European marry in to the family at some point?
Yes, he told me his grandfather was a white man.

Quite the uninspiring day of cricket from the lads. Hearing we dropped many catches and there was pretty much no variation in the bowling. Not a lot of short pulls, or set ups.

Just giving the Afghani guys runs and letting them break records against us.

Yeah a wicketless day in Test cricket. Even with all the drops - which is part of the game - this is only the 26th instance of a wicketless day in Tests. I think thats rarer than a Test hattrick! These are conditions that would neutralize almost any bowler, but good bowlers manage to produce wickets nonetheless. 0-330 in a day is a really shambolic bowling performance especially considering its against one of the weakest, if not the weakest batting lineup in Test cricket.

One can only get excited for a day before you come down to earth with a bump.
The new ball is swinging, the pitch is turning. Mavuta was getting big turn, but he just doesn't land it consistently enough.

We didn't get any reverse? Azmat was getting it to hoop.

The seam bowlers don't seem to bowl to a plan. I'm sure it's there, but they're failing to execute. Ervine should field at mid off and be in the bowler's ear, not in slips.
