Tino Mawoyo is saying Blessing is bowling the right lines but I so don't agree. The batters repeatedly manoeuvre the ball to leg. It literally needs to be 4 inches the other way. 4th stump.

If we had the technology. The pitching map would not be consistent

Very stocked for Newman.

I would continue to send him overseas. The more he plays in different conditions the better

Do we have him blessing and Richard next game?

I think we will see a lot of Newman because he can bat as well. He will take that Jongwe/Evans/Faraz role. Maposa is another one.

Rashid Khan will be the difference if they prepare the same kind of pitch for the second test. Raza has to replace Brandon.

Feel Gwandu has struggled, think he’ll make way for Ritchie as well

Raza is a tricky bowler. If Bennett was bowling well initially imagine what Raza could have done?

I got a bad feeling about tomorrow. It's very possible to lose this test in the most embarrassing way. Afghanistan scoring 700 plus is already embarrassing enough. Looking at it now this was the wrong kind of pitch to prepare.
