Iknowfuckall being rewarded for sticking franchise players for years.

Raza out pulling is always a safe bet

There it is

[Googly]

Well, more of a pick-up, extremely high risk on a huge outfield.

15 innings since Raza scored more than 30, and a few of those against mediocre oppostion.
And only got into the 20's 5 times.

2 careers for some players

Now we get to watch Tony and Musi finally face some real quality opposition for an extended period.

SZ will disprove this

Musekiwa certainly has something about him.

Maphosa has batted really well. Miscues one that spoons over a fielder and Mawoyo says he's slapped it with power to the fence? Its tiring listening to him.

That 30-5 was actually not a bad thing in the long term. It answered a lot of questions for me when it comes to the batting abilities of our number 6,7,8 and 9. They all had a lot of time today.

I would say Maphosa looks like he can be a genuine all rounder. Lots of talent and has barely played any professional games. I think he can move up to number 8 with Evans at 9.

Munyonga and Musekiwa do not bowl so they have to be much more capable with the bat if you are batting that low down the order as a specialist batsman. You actually have to be able to really smile them. Musekiwa looks like he has potential but I don't think Munyonga is the right fit. He should be batting up the order and everyone shifts one down but the problem he has is that Dion can most probably do a better job than him up the order.

Tough game. Happens sometimes in this format. Would have loved to see Cremer play on Friday but who do you drop? Unless they risk it and play Musekiwa at 6 and Maphosa at 7.
