Indeed sloandog, Duffin will surely thrive in the test arena and should be a good candidate to open with taylor next year in out first test match since voluntary suspension

He's only 28 as well, a long from old by the standards of international openers.

Collapso for the Tuskers, from 356/5 to 391 all out - although that's still a first-innings lead of 50. 193 for Duffin.

[sloandog]

Well batted Terry Duffin. I think there are four candidates for opening the batting next year.
Vusi Sibanda
Brendan Taylor
Hamilton Mazakadza
Terry Duffin


Perhaps Gary Ballance if he can prove himself domestically

[maehara]

Day Three Close: Rocks 314 & 104/4 (53 overs; Chauluka 42, Ncube 2/20), Tsukers 391. Rocks lead by 54 runs.

[Boundary]

Tuskers have lost 4 wickets chasing the win, and have made progress. They still need 73 but is there time?

This turned out to be a nail biter! I thought the Tuskers left it too late for the final push, but great win this

I still can't make out how some Steven Trenchard replaced Keith Dabengwa in second innings for Tuskers though

I guess Dabengwa wasn't available for some reason. Its not uncommon for that sort of thing to happen in county cricket, when a player gets called up by England half way through a match. It would have been exceptionally generous to allow Dabengwa a sub if he had been injured though, so I guess that some other circumstance may have dragged him out of the game.
