Yet you call for Williams to be dropped ? Odd considering he averages more than either of those players with the bat :lol: :lol: :lol:

Class by Zim standards obviously.

We've been through all of this. Not going through it again.

The day those other guys start having memorable knocks/series just like Vusi and Elton, it the day we can talk.

For now when a Younis Khan took his hat off to Vusi, and Elton got head-hunted to play County as an overseas pro (never mind him pasting top full strength SA, AUS etc), they remain with the top moments. Even Taylor can fall back on his very young days winning a T20 with Zim over AUS.

Williams has been around the team much longer (longer than Craig and Malcolm who have a few for themselves), with all these guys, but has absolutely no moment to recollect.

Even Chisoro, Madziva and Jongwe already have that.

Hammy bowled by Mire for 13 runs. Hmmmm no countryman favours out there. Mire picking up 2/36 off his 4 overs. I wonder how Mutumbami is going about his job. A stumping and a run out in todays game. Seems busy enough.

Got no clue how Mutumbami got a gig. As for Solomon Mire they are playing him too far down the order but he still was devastating. I really see a big future for this guy. He is a guy you know that if he sticks around for 15-20 overs the damage will be done. He is not going to die wondering . More t20 gigs for him coming for sure. That's the one big lure of international cricket. You get a lot of exposure that can get you the lucrative international gigs. I'm sure if Sri Lanka are looking for international players for a t20 tournament he will be one of the names they think of.

9.4 Sibanda to Delport, 2 runs,
9.5 Sibanda to Delport, FOUR,
9.6 Sibanda to Delport, no run,
What happened there, 2 Bimmers perhaps. Bowler trying too hard for yorkers and getting it all wrong.

[Edit] Wow Zadran is only 15 years old. Talk about giving youngsters opportunities.

Loud explosion near the ground?

Heard a loud explosion on the coverage. i think the players started to come off the ground before the coverage cut to commercials.
