It's important for Shumba as a player to make some runs here. He's quite robotic in where he hits it, easy to set a field to and to bowl to. He's going to have to play a couple of aerial shots shortly, I'd think.

I'd think par here is 280-300.

I like shumba lol. He’s as good as Wez but has his head screwed on. He’ll be a regular starter one day. Ya he needs to work on a couple of get out shots when the bowling is on top of him.

Innings is not quite ticking over as much as I’d like. Could be much, much worse though :lol:

Ya par was that the other day.

He swept well a few overs before, a buffet sweep behind square and the shot was on again. Anyway I thought he looked pretty good.

It's on dstv

It’s a good batting track. Shumba was doing ok but he usually gives his wicket away. Just like that. I would have sent Madande in to negotiate maybe another 10 but it’s time for the Raza show
