But the Tuskers can hold their own: Staddon doesn't seem to play Logan and Mpofu is injured and yet they still field Meth, Querl, Ncube which has proved itself. Still finely balanced, who is going to end on top?
You're a Tusker fan, right?
Of course it'll be us! Far superior batting order and bowling unit! This Ned guy has 'pathetic' written all over him, while Maruma. like Dabengwa, can't be allowed to look like a better batsman than he is. He's close to the top of the charts, so another big score, then a fiver in one innings we may find him in one of our squads within the next two series. These are the kind of eventualities I dislike about form and stats - they are grossly misleading at times (think of all the Indian batsmen in FC cricket>+50avg, plus plenty of English County seamers>-30evg)! I don't need stats to convince of Rainsford and Nicholson's abilities, but there is a danger which the likes of Maruma, Dabengwa & Kasteni have cashed in on!
The Rhinos, will concede a huge deficit to us in the end, but they are second best!
The Eagles are our main rivals! I 'hate' them, so should you!
but if we lose this one we will have 3 teams level on points, give or take 1 innings point.
