Series thread: Standard Bank Pro20

Another defeat but a lot better showing than in the last 2 games.

Yeah, close one. Shame most of the batting order didn't really contribute, though - if Taylor had had an off day we would've been on the receiving end of another thumping. One of these days the boys will discover the meaning of "consistency"...

[Train Driver]

Same old story really, one of these days 3 or 4 batsmen will hit form in the same game.

Anyone know if there is actually a batting coach employed by ZC ?, if not, and they can find someone willing to take up the post, then I reckon that could be a very wise investment.

good effort by the boys. they just didnt get over the line but compared to the other games they have have done well.
great innings by taylor and well bowled by dabengwa

[zulu]

well i thought the boys were going to win at one stage but thn price got slapped for 16 in the 2nd to last over.. but anyway a better effort.

Dabengwa has really ben surprising in this tournment with the ball hes doing brilliantly he must be doing alot of work with the coach on his bowling we might see him bowl alot more in international cricket if he continues this form

Now, I am waiting for the end of the series where brmtaylor.com admin comes up with a poll for the best performers. We all know who is leading the race now...

[Train Driver]

I can't make up my mind between Vusi Sibanda and Sean Williams at this stage, neither of them has done a thing wrong during this series

[brmtaylor.com admin]

So far, I'd go with Dabengwa as the top performer, followed by Taylor.

As for the rest, well... equal last?

Taibu has withdrawn himself from the Pro20 squad, and is off to India for IPL. Tino Mawoyo replaces him. Graeme Cremer, considered a longer version specialist by many, has made it to the Pro20 squad as well, at the expense of Nyamuzinga.

Hopefully they make either Chakabva or (ideally) Taylor wicket keeper. I seem to remember Mawoyo being pretty woeful, although I can't say for certain.

An interesting one, I read in the same article that Nyamuzinga was a late replacement for Chakabva in the original Pro20 squad, before he himself got replaced by Cremer. So, Chakabva is not at all part of Pro20 squad from the beginning! Does Anyone know the reason for that late replacement?
