[Match Thread] Tour Match - Zimbabwe v Cricket South Africa XI

[tawac]

Hmmmm the guys are too good to be playing the Logan Cup. Seems they are loosing their way too cheaply.

I would love Mire to be Zimbabwe's opener but i feel my reaction is my heart ruling my head.

[tawac]

Mire should never open in tests. Masakadza showing his worth probably Zims best batsman seems to do well agaist pace.

Burl and Hammi digging in here which is good to see.

10 off 48 for Burl. Very gritty so far. I'd rather have this steely batting than a quickfire 40 any day.

Probably?

Have you see the footwork Taylor refined in County cricket? How much faith do you have in Craig once Hami/Mire falls?

He shouldn't even be in SA!!!

One of Mutombodzi, Kasuza, Mutizwa or Prince should be there instead!

But they are not and Burl is.

Looks like Regis is going to have to open the batting.

I wonder if we may declare 10 overs before the end of play in order to have a crack with the pink ball under lights?

[pariah]

Lizaad Williams plays and was as brilliant as Steyn with the new ball.

Bokako and Cohen seem to have gone ok too.

Crazy the amount of overs von Berg has bowled. Twice as much as the next bowler! He's been decent in the Sunfoil Series and did well against the Bangladeshis. My conspiracy as they push him for a fifer in one of these innings and he'll be deputising Keshav Maharaj. Only explanation for so many overs! Leie won't like that.

Taylor and Raza falling so easily to an average leggie (albeit much better than Cremer) is a cause for concern. This might inspire Faf to get better asap and look to roll his arm.

Forget Ngidi. Phehlukwayo deemed too good to be playing. Still the likes of Magala, Budaza, Myoki, Siboto and Gqamane would be too good for this ZIM side. Before I coul dpick only one quota Xi that can beat ZIM. Now that number is up to two or three XIs for sure.

You laughed when I told you that Hondo's ZIM A was losing to excellent Varsity players. Now look at what is happening to Zimbabwe's best??? Another crazy hhm prophecy? Didn't take too long did it?

ONLY Hami standing tall!!

Next thing you'll send the Rising Stars all the way to poor England when even ZIM pros would struggle in SA's Varsity league, forget the Provincial League.
