And, in my Googly style messge bombing, i dont think prince can survie against this spinner based on that first over. He is going to get an edge at some point in the next 30 balls.
I think if he can get to 35 from here he will have to consider himself lucky.
Hate to say i told ya.

Interesting side observation. Cricinfo now shows left arm leggies as "LWS" Left arm Wrist Spin, instead of "LHC" that they had earlir - Left hand "Chinaman"...

Cross verified this on the profiles of Kuldeep and Shamsi too.

And Prince has gone.

If there was even a need for Chakabva to stand up as a senior test specialist batsman, it is today.

We need at least one bat to kick on well excess of 50, and one more 30+ score in support, to have a chance here of getting 150.

I'm assuming no DRS

The old hands are going to have to save us again. I can't see Burl or Regis lasting long against this turn.

Disaster unfolding. We are undoing the huge advantage gained with the ball. Crucial stand here.
