Looks like Wellington Masakadza is becoming another Maruma / Mutombodzi - converting himself into a batsman after beginning as a bowler and is also becoming a rubbish bowler like those two. Not many wickets to show this season.

First 5 wicket haul of the season for Ernest Masuku after having a less than impressive season so far, given a good last season.

Masuku always brings a smile on my face because that word in my native language Kannada means blurry, obscure, foggy, muddled, unclear, etc .:).

Ernest Masuku = Seriously Unclear (that's for sure, we don't know what kind of a pacer he is) :)

Im not happy that shumba did not get a bowl in this recently concluded innings. he seems to have dropped down the batting order too. Politics afoot??

It's a bit of a shame that Iknow Chabi is umpiring in the other match.

"Oldknow given out Iknow" will have to wait another day.

Yes that was strange. That's a problem serious competition creates. They know he is a threat to anybody wanting to play for the national team. Let's hope that's not the case

Wow Oldknow looks like he’s really struggling here. SR is absolutely terrible, even if it’s an FC game

I never understood why people rated Wellington as a bowler. Give me a reason why he was ever better than any part time spinner. I didn’t see it then and I especially don’t see it now.

Off spin is usually just an excuse for people without pace to bowl accurately. It’s why every dibble dibbled can run restrict. There is not much difference between Utseya and Jonathan Campbell or an accurate pub cricketer. It’s just who lands it in the spot with a better field on the day.

A real offie earns his keep when he’s a saqlain Mushtaq with a bag of tricks or a Nathan Lyon who masters the Art of variance, but with a real rev off the ball in the arsenal.
With Lyon, you don’t know if it will be gentle or a turner or if it comes at you 78km\hr or 102km hr.

Wellington just throws it at the feet and hope the pitch does the rest.

The best of the no talent offies was Ray price.

This is a compliment. I mean it when I say he was the best I
Of all time. Guy had no tricks or anything but overcame it by being able to place it on a 50c coin every time and run restrict. And even then he was not a massive wicket taker.

But other bowlers in this category cannot be ray price and will have to settle and hope for 1/65 type innings off ten, unless a real turner, in which case Mueddie could probably get wickets with his off spin and pencil stuck on his nostrils.
