Rain saves the day again

I think that might be the main reason the crowds aren't coming.

Where's that rain from the other night? We need it again badly

At least Ervine has shown he still can build an innings. I honestly thought he was done.
How do you expect these guys to get better if you are praying for rain, how does that help anyone 😳

Yes, I would take any result over rain.

At least good that they got to bat this time before the rain, and bowled quite well in those 13 overs. Could still be a good game of we resume.

It doesn't other than the team not recording a loss.

Yes, time out in the middle is valuable for the batters but they don't seem to improve. It's always either Ervine/Williams/Raza has to score all the runs.

The problem with Jongwe is that he doesn’t look like he can bowl 10 overs anymore. He has really let it go. He needs to be careful because Faraz is well liked and then there is Evans. They would then rather give the 3rd spot to a young prospect if Faraz does ok this tour. It might be the end for Luke.

I like Burl a lot and he has improved a lot over the last year or 2. I still think he needs competition and thats where Jonathan Campbell can come in. Madande is doing ok as well but if he isn’t keeping then his place isn’t set in stone. Raza will probably stay in the top 5 for good now so Campbell isn’t a bad option to take a look at and add some depth. Him or Munyonga I guess

Faraz is well liked
That’s one way of putting it
