There's no way Maphosa has a higher ceiling than Evans. I'll die on this hill
Evans bowled rubbish today, all the seamers were shite. Wrong length and not enuf change ups.
It would almost be a coin toss who gets dropped amongst the seamers. They will probably bench Evans after Maphosa's innings. There's even an argument to drop Tony actually. Both Maphosa and Evans can bat and Munyonga for me is not that much of a better "finisher" than either of them.
I'm not saying that off the back of this one game either.
I've kept at this for a while. Munyonga and Musekiwa are run a ball guys against good bowling, it's not easy. They have some big shots, especially Musi, but the dots let them down.
Musekiwa is pretty decent.
This batting lark against a serious bowling attack is different gravy.
They should have made this a 5 game series, it's so important to get to understand who's who. Making runs against Associates is completely misleading.
Maru comes into the frame here. Superb against "average" bowling, but he really tightens up against quality. Every time he clears to off and goes out trying to work it or pick it up behind square I groan. It's his go to when he feels tight.
Look today was a bit different because it was first or second ball, but watch him if they keep him quiet for an over, he defaults to it, like its his only shot, and it most certainly isnt.
We are yet to see BT against a proper attack as well. He sweeps beautifully and in theory he should do ok against these guys. You have to be careful sweeping Khan. He bowls too fast and skiddy to do it with any confidence. Youre almost better off going for a slog sweep in front of square.
Raza getting close to being desperately short of runs in a personal capacity, obviously his selection is not in question.
