I have two signs that a great batsmen is being created, I had the same signs with Virat Kohli.

1st Sign, my left hand itches whenever the player hits a four happened with Virat Kohli look where he is now and also happening now with Musakanda
2nd Sign, my left nut sags, when the player strokes the ball for four. Muskanda has done both, both signs are prominenet we got a superstar being formed
No more praise please they keep getting out after your posts :)

Looks that way. Something special about this boy. And he is not doing his cause any harm with these good knocks should be looking to converting them though. Definitely now ahead of Burl in the packing order. Given an opportunity and grabbing it with both hands.

Chase reduced to 31 overs; Zimbabwe will chase 80 runs off 60 balls. Essentially a T20 match now. Unfortunately you have the worst player you could have wished for at the crease: an out of form Craig Ervine. Hope he proves me wrong.

All those dot balls Craig Ervine played out simply leading the mindless Sean Williams to charge first ball he faces. Stumped clean.

At least he has Raza and Waller who both have been in decent touch. Ervine can anchor while Raza Waller and Moor finish it off

Hope so. Peter Moor in the last match showed me something I like to see in these kind of situations. I used to think Malcolm Waller is ice cool but not so sure anymore. As I type, two nice boundaries by Craig Ervine to tilt everything in our favour. : 6 : :4:
