Mumba!

Mumba again!

Moor is a disaster of a wicket keeper

[CrimsonAvenger]

Wow! Symcox on air saying it wasn't going to hit and would have to be overturned with such confidence

Mumba showing why he should have been in a long time ago, three wickets.

If we can sneak a couple more out

[CrimsonAvenger]

I think Mumba's promotion to the national team has been managed exceptionally well. And he is showing the maturity expected of him. Can we now really start getting excited about him like we did in case of Jarvis and Chatara?

Absolutely - he has pace and bounce and most importantly he's taking wickets! Chatara, in my opinion, was never on the level of Jarvis, but he was/is still a good option. This kid Mumba, though, I think has the potential to be better than them both. I reckon he could get a lot more out of his delivery stride too - something for Streak to work on for sure

Great stuff indeed. If Streak can work the same kind of magic he did with the Bangladeshis, put Vitori back on track and get a decent pack of pace bowlers, we might be on to something...

Agreed with sloan. Mumba is a class above Chatara. Chatara never looked a real wicket taker and his strike rates attest to that. He was quick tho, getting it up to 145.

Mumba has the potential to surpass Jarvis. He's only bowling at 135 right now so if he can add another 5, he will go medium pacer to genuine quick. Also looks a bit menacing. Great find.
