Steve Kirby belting out the anthem as usual. He's even learnt the Ndebele verse :lol:
If he's gone to that level it means he's never going back :lol:

Innocent Kaia is actually a decent leg spinner.

Tino was just saying that Kirby has paid for fuel tickets to the supporters from Harare so they could come watch the game.

What a legend he is!
Great great guy, looks like he's enjoying life here.

How was that given not out?? It clearly hit his glove on the way through, ffs Langton :(
Rusere is one of the worst umpires I've seen. I remember he was hyped up as a great umpire on these forums long back. It sucks that we don't have DRS for these series' in Zim.

Compare Rusere with Afghan umpires, thay pakhtoon guy will give it out even if it was as far away as a wide ball.

Not having the fallback of DRS makes them look bad, the modern umpire is really a glorified ball counter. Now teams get 3 reviews it doesn’t matter if they get it wrong.

How tall is Tsiga? Must be amongst the tallest test keepers. Pray for his back - he won't be able to walk in about 20 years.

Dropped catch from Tsiga, he made it look like a tough chance when really it should have been taken.

Not going our way at the minute.

They are only on 62 though so not running away with it, but we need to take these chances soon.

Since when? :lol: He is a part time relief bowler at best.
