Great effort by the bowlers. Now its up to the batsmen to back up the bowler's effort

Evans man so happy for him to get that fifer :D tail definitely didn't wag.

Now the batters have absolutely no pressure so they just need to play sensible cricket.

I see the Belgian was not allowed to stand with the full squad for the national anthem before play and has not been given ICC accreditation to access the players area / change rooms this week.

Why do we keep embarrassing ourselves by naming an ineligible player in our squad? Very bizarre

My guess remains December. ICC reg is 3 years residency. His FC debut for the Rhinos was the 7th January 2023. He wouldn't have been resident in Zim for long before this. At this stage, it seems pretty clear that ZC are not putting any additional requirement in place over and above the ICC regs, why would they afterall?! Therefore, I reckon he will be eligible once the 3 years residency is up. Which would be 3 years from the date stamped on his passport when he first showed up in Zim.

These two have done very well, I really want them to kick on. Curran especially has had loads of good starts in Tests but not properly converted yet.

I saw him in the boundary area with Tanu Makoni.
