Waller gets the breakthrough

[jaybro]

Waller strikes just as I was about to say we really need a wicket

[zimfan1]

Nabi and Shenwari are the two big wickets now

Nabi is the big wicket now …..

Even bowling Waller is a big risk

Well, he has his own desperation to keep his place in the side, and that has worked for this breakthrough

Waller now into the attack, BRMT really dining the changes now …..

Once again only guys not to bowl Elton and Maruma who both used to bowl a lot …..

That is past, currently, they don't bowl much, and when they do, they go for a lot. So, better off without trying any of those options.

I appreciate the need to do anything to get a wicket, so I understand bringing Waller back in - but why not Chatara?
There's no point waiting much longer; the match may not get into the death overs if this partnership accumulates.

And now Mushangwe is back. I think this is crazy bowling changes. Shows desperation, nothing else. On form, we should have continued with Williams, Even bowling Waller is a big risk. Can't see much point in not bringing on Chatara for sure.

Risky, but it paid off thankfully. He has to bring Chatara on now though, surely.

These bowling changes are insane! Kamungozi is bowling in the batting powerplay now!

Gets away with it just three runs in the over but we need a wicket

They seem to fancy him bowling with the field up for some reason …..

Looks like Taylor feels they are not handling spin as well as pace. There can't be any other explanation. Even then, why not bowl your best spinner of the day, Williams, in the powerplay?
