Really, I watched it as well and he bowled a great line and length without any luck but got rewarded in the end. Not sure what you were watching . The guy has passion and is ready to step up . The spinners did well after it looked like they would be chasing 250 plus.

Re: Netherlands ODI Series - Discussion
I worry he would get absolutely mullered by a proper batting lineup. I think he's probably a better batter than bowler, bowling-wise he's a relatively average spinner. Ideally would be a part-timer.
Anyway we've done very well to bowl them out cheaply. Our batting looks extremely light though.

Re: Netherlands ODI Series - Discussion
Thats my point exactly, very slow for a spinner and doesn't turn it much. He should focus on his batting and be a handy relief bowler when required.secretzimbo wrote: ↑Sun Mar 19, 2023 10:29 amI worry he would get absolutely mullered by a proper batting lineup.

The dutch have a strong bowling attack so its going be an interesting chase, big chance for Bennett.
Re: Netherlands ODI Series - Discussion
A part timer in the main team sure , but in the A side no as he has just shown. The seamers bowl pies and too many wides so to me they are the average bowlerssecretzimbo wrote: ↑Sun Mar 19, 2023 10:29 amI worry he would get absolutely mullered by a proper batting lineup.

So you think he should be bowling ahead of Nyauchi and Chivanga??mnelson68 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 19, 2023 10:34 amA part timer in the main team sure , but in the A side no as he has just shown.

Masuku had a bad day so fair enough he didn't get anymore overs, Jongwe bowled really well and Mumba didn't bowl too bad either.
I thought it was bizarre Campbell was brought on in the first place.
Although the strangest call was to bowl Mpofu at the end, basically giving the dutch the chance to go over 200

Re: Netherlands ODI Series - Discussion
Why isn't he deserving of getting a bowl ? The captaincy was spot on in the end. Campbell is someone to get excited about , he will be a decent allround option in the near future.CalZim wrote: ↑Sun Mar 19, 2023 10:49 amSo you think he should be bowling ahead of Nyauchi and Chivanga??mnelson68 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 19, 2023 10:34 amA part timer in the main team sure , but in the A side no as he has just shown.

Two Big sixes off the county pro ackerman. Go on young man
Mayavo looks ok too. Much better than Tsiga. loved his reverse sweep off the leggy
