Well I missed this game entirely, and just as well. What a complete shellacking. Sadly this is not a surprising result.

Just watched replays of the Waller catch...while I'm not certain, it does appear that Waller may have taken a clean catch. I disagree with gould that there was conclusive evidence either way.

They effing cheat us every time, these third umpires. Can't Gould tell the difference between a scoop and a ball that bounces IN the hand. CONCLUSIVE evidence that he was out. Retire him already!

My rant about the useless Mutumbami later. What a disappointing result.

He got his fingers under it and it looked like it bounced, but it bounced off his fingers.
Nah mate stop crying over this and looking for excuses. I was in the local shebeen watching live and we all thought it was out then the replay...not one of the 70 odd supporters still thought it was out.
I guess we lived up to our expectations.

Mutambami lost this game for us. How on earth is he such a junk player? The missed stumping was the turning point. That was that. Abysmal. I blame ZC however. Time to drop out of Full Membership

I didn't watch the match, so I can't comment on the whole picture (we probably would have lost anyway, and he's definitely not the only one to blame), but nobody can say that this hasn't been coming a long time or that they didn't see it coming. Richie was always going to miss a crucial stumping in a crunch match. The infuriating thing is that in this particular case we have a great, albeit green keeper sitting at home (my preferred option) or an equally mediocre keeper in the squad who at least has some muscle to his batting.

Chrevons Lost...
what next...
bringing back Chakabva , Chari, zhuawo, Craig, nyumbu; & shingi ; just recycling the same below average players
whats the plan...
use Under 19 squad
Recall the exiled players & guarantee their paycheck...
Play in SouthAfrica as a Provincial squad..
remove the quota system
