Congrats to Tendai Chitoro! His first test wicket! Well done fella.
Yes well done Chisoro.
I still think he'd be a gun limited overs bowler. I hope he gets some opportunities in the format
He already is, and the opportunities should never have stopped to begin with.
I completely agree. Thoughts on him opening the bowling in ODI cricket?

Cremer concedes 13 runs. Chisoro follows up with a wicket-maiden.

Maybe Cremer should throw the ball to someone else next over?

Just hope BT and Ervine score runs in the next innings and hopefully we can salvage a draw

Believe Dowrich and Holder will slowly bat till they reach 100 and then they accelerate. If Raza'a offspin was handy yesterday, why not some off-spin from Waller yesterday ? If Waller playing purely as a batsman, then it wont be for long for sure...
Its clear now they think he's chucking and he's playing purely as a specialist batsmen. Scandalous if you think of it.

He's opened the bowling in ODIs about 40% of the time I think.

Tellingly Cremer has used him only once as an opening bowler. Despite that being his best performance under Cremer, he still demoted him from opening the bowling. His average under Cremer is double his under Chigumbura.

These two have been a major pain. They have really thrown a spanner in works. Guess its all put of the thrills of test cricket. Ups and downs. Advantage swinging from one team to another. Gotta love test cricket. Really puts you through all possible emotions.

Chisoro getting a few here after his toil yesterday.

Guys here attacked me for saying that.

I long said Malcolm is being protected from illegal bowling because they simply don't want to drop him and that would make it even harder for them to avoid dropping him.

Everything has been done to avoid dropping Moor from the ODI side. He's given them every possible reason but they simply won't do it.

Dropping one of them would lead to the next, and ultimately leave Sean Williams exposed.

Nice to see Chisoro getting back-to-back wicket-maidens.
