How does Chatara get man of the match when Vinny totally cleaned up. He might be very useful in Bangladesh

:lol: :lol: :lol: Because he’s the main man. He tore ZC a new one in that leaked audio, said mountaineers would win the Logan cup and so it came to pass.

So it looks like they're batting on hoping for an extra bonus point for each additional 50 they get.
So maybe 400 is their declaration point, or will they be greedy and shoot for 450 for one more?

If you assume a draw they will have
5 for the draw
1 for the first innings
4 for bowling them out
5 for second innings batting if they declare at 400.

That's the 15 points they need before they get more from taking wickets in the Eagles second innings.

That's how I see it, but I'm 100% sure I'm wrong :lol:
I think Zimbabwe Cricket need to run a training course for people who would like to understand the totally weird points systems they use every season.

A 5 wicket haul I guess is the equivalent of a 100.
So in theory a 4 wicket haul is about a 75.

If you're going to compare batters with bowlers NW took 2 four wicket hauls and 3 catches. I guess Larry (probably still on a Central) needs the 100 bucks more than Nick and Vinnie

No 10 and 11 faced 45 balls for not a lot of runs. He should have been much more proactive about taking strike. Played very well but missed a golden opportunity.

Really good showing all the same.
