Prince missed a trick there by not wasting time in the previous over. Got an extra over and a wicket is taken.

That was seriously unlucky. Prince and Kaitano batted beautifully there.

As soon as our guys bat all these commentators suddenly become coaches as well.
But for sure they picked up a little glitch of Kaitano's which I've never noticed before and thats him struggling to keep that glance on the ground. He's going to get more of that with 2 short mid wickets if he plays again. You usually play that shot with a straightish front leg, because you've pulled it back, but your weight has to be over your foot or you're going to struggle to keep it down.
Pollock also picked up him opening his shoulder a bit. But we've got decent coaches, Im sure they havent missed that.

What a pity, they both deserved to be there tomorrow morning, that was extremely well negotiated.

I was trying to find out about our new sponsors- Wolf777.
Jackal007 might be better. Sounds dodgy as hell. I've never heard of Wolf so Im assuming its a dodgy betting organisation?
What happened to Mukuru and Croco?

Wolf 777 is a betting company.
Mukuru name will be printed on the front side of the national team jersey and wolf 007 will be on the back side of the jersey.
Usually sponsors on the front side of the team jersey give more money to the team as sponsorship money.
Mukuru on the front, wolf 777 on the back and Zimbabwe tourism branding on the sleeves, ZC generating good amount of money through sponsorship !

Interestingly ZC T20 national team captain Raza will not wear the national team jersey with the wolf 777 branding.

I heard Mukuru sponsor 100k primarily for kit.
That's a lot of kit :lol:
Mukuru clearly change their money as well.

Its hard not to be skeptical. Why would an Asian betting syndicate be sponsoring Zim? I wonder if they have a tie to the T10 guys?
The ex Minister of Tourism, Prisca Mupfumira managed to liberate $195 million, pretty impressive, even by Zim standards :lol:

PJ Moor's sports betting Co has made an absolute fortune in Zim. That would be fairly ironic if they could extract some cash from him.

Perhaps the ZC domestic matches will be featured on their betting app.

Raza will have done well to avoid betting sponsorship logos throughout all the T20 leagues he's played.
