would also like to know more about Nyauchi. his average pace, any swing, consistency etc..he has been returning some solid figures. Mumbai's first class stats point at a future star even though he has only played 14 games..should keep working on bowling faster.

Some of the early wickets by zim were said to be good balls that hurried and bounced on the batsmen. Something chinouya and tiripano failed to do in the tests

These names, HUK Madushanka and DSK Madushanka from the SL Emerging team are reminding me of our Masakadza brothers :)

and 4 so far for Mumba. Putting his hand up at the right time, while people are getting frustrated with the military medium guys of the national team. Would be interesting to see if he can keep this performance up over an extended period of continuous cricket, which would also prove his fitness...

Yay! we get a 3 run lead :). Now for the customary Zim collapse in the second dig to lose by a big margin...

Mumba in particular was working up good pace and troubling the batsmen.

Costly double failure for Chirimuuta. Should Mayavo be batting ahead of Gumbie really? Anyway, he should have probably not been in the XI with Gumbie keeping anyway...

That's indeed puzzling.

I do have the gut feeling that Gumbie is another batsman who keeps (in the Regis, Mutizwa, Mutumbami, PJ mode), rather than a keeper who bats. I'm sure I've heard a lot of praise for Gumbie from our people on the ground, but I don't specifically recall them praising his keeping :?:
