Eksteen has been good but I would have liked to see Newman open with the ball today
Far too erratic and been very expensive, these 2 are very solid bowlers and both need to bowl 10 overs each
Maybe, but Nyamhuri is THE class bowler in this squad, without doubt.

He gets it to swing. Surely needs to bowl soon.
The other two have been excellent as well. No real pace but great control. Something we've lacked for years.

Eksteen just bowled one that swung in and nipped away. Ain't nobody putting bat on that.

Nyamhuri's sister is in the girls u19 squad and he's got a much younger brother who's about 12 and is an insanely good batting prospect. Impressive family!

Our field placings and fielding have been excellent so far. No boundaries on offer .
I don't think the pitch is that bad. Namibia under the pump

An economy rate of nearly 8 is not ideal up front , he'll bowl 1st change

Well maybe he wouldn't have an economy of 8 if he had bowled up front :lol:

He's quality, I'm telling you.

All 3 are decent though ya

Ed Rainsford knows more about player development than 99% of our coaches. Seems wasted as a commentator. Cancel his talking license and get him in the mix here.
