Keegan Meth misses out again. The selectors clearly desperate to get Charles Coventry into some kind of form

Nbalo Ncube has now picked up a few wickets in this match. Nice way for him to celebrate his 21st Birthday :D

Happy birthday Ncube

Why would one pick Muzarabani ahead of Meth?

How quick is Muzarabini ?? I'm sure i read a post on here saying he was sharp. He's classed as right ar,m fast medium on cricinfo, but that means nothing to me since it has Ed Rainsford as the same, yet he struggles to touch 80 clicks.

We constantly question who's going to be the next Andy Blignaut don't we. Well lets have a look at the options.
Elton Chigumbura no longer thinks he's a bowler. So he's not our future Andy.
Justic Chibahba is a very talented batter, gbut his bowling has much to be desired.
Shingrai Mazakadza has the potential to bat, but for now should focus on his bowling.
Greg Styrdom has quit.
Greg Lamb is going to be a handy cricketer with both bat and ball, but nothing more.
Nathan Waller has got great potential, but he's nowhere near international standards.

KEEGAN METH howver is ! He bowls with a thinking brain, he bowls with a little bit of pace and can swing the ball both ways. His batting is just as destructive. He can bat both long periods and score at a quick rate, and we all know what he's capable of in the field. GET HIM IN MAN !!
