Dafabet are a big betting agency in the UK I believe? They were jersey sponsor for Sunderland FC for a while

Our guys are speaking in Shona and they’re talking in Tamil o Sinhala. They could go the whole day without understanding one word of each other.

Kasuza (And Prince) look so much better technically than Chari it’s hard to understand how or why Chari has been given so many chances in front of these guys??

Somebody mentioned a Shona/Nbele/White quota, maybe there is something in that lol

Chari was so far out of his depth at international level in was scarcely believable. Kasuza has been playing club cricket in South Africa in the weeks before the Logan Cup started. Appears to have worked hard but lets see where he goes.

Thanks for the insight, yeah he looks much better than Chari, but his numbers suggest he makes lots of starts but struggles to convert.

Yes, good information to have. One always wonders what these guys are up to when there's no domestic cricket played in Zim.

I'm actually quite satisfied with the Youtube stream, better than having to deal with dodgy not-quite-legal subcontinental streams, teeming with malware and ads for the armed forces of Afgahnistan.

Yeah the stream has been brilliant and it hasn't cut out once for me.

[Googly]

Ya it’s good. I don’t think I will ever understand how it all works. Who’s streaming it? Are they making money?

Chawaguta is talking like they’ve solved their opening pair problem . If only it were that simple.

Welcome to the normal reality of international sport where not everyone has to speak English all of the time.

[jaybro]

Yeah it seems simple but effective, it’s has Rabbithole advertising on the YouTube page so I guess it’s their stream?

One good stand here guarantees these two a spot for the next three test series, which according to my calculations takes us to about 2026.
They’ve been damned good against mediocre bowling.
The danger now is not to set about the bowling with the contempt it deserves, but hats off to them.

There are about 2,000 people watching the stream--on a Saturday--which gives one an idea about the commercial potential of this Test series.
