need another one though...

Is Raza now our leading wicket taker for the series?
That's a serious indictment on the front line bowlers.

Btw, do we have a nickname for M'shangwe yet?

I don't like 'Mushy', although that name has terrorized scores of English county players of the years.

I've just learned that he's from Mhangura which means "red metal" (= copper) in Shona.

So it's either "The Man from Mhangura" or simply "Red" for me ... or "The Copper" if you will (did I read somewhere that his dad was in the police?).

So sayeth Statsguru. Give the man an allrounder tag...

Kamungozi tightening things up now bowling much better with the filed set back it would seem …..

Required RR is well above the RR now which is something, but we seriously need to nip a few more wickets out from somewhere.
Bring back Chatara? Williams maybe?

Waller now into the attack, BRMT really dining the changes now …..

Once again only guys not to bowl Elton and Maruma who both used to bowl a lot …..

I appreciate the need to do anything to get a wicket, so I understand bringing Waller on - but why not Chatara?
There's no point waiting much longer; the match may not get into the death overs if this partnership accumulates.

who bowls in the powerplay ?? You would think Chatara not sure who else …..

Hmm yeah, fair point. I guess he will bowl 3 of those overs.
If those powerplay overs don't result in 2 or 3 wickets there's no way we can get out of this mess.

That is past, currently, they don't bowl much, and when they do, they go for a lot. So, better off without trying any of those options.

And now Mushangwe is back. I think this is crazy bowling changes. Shows desperation, nothing else. On form, we should have continued with Williams, Even bowling Waller is a big risk. Can't see much point in not bringing on Chatara for sure.
