Naqvi now bowling. Surely we need a leggie on?
Maybe he's got a Golden Arm?

Yea Mavuta on now would be a good shout. Keep it a bit attacking before field has to spread to do run containment

Bones now bowling too straight and has sped it up. Be patient. He's rattled already.

I can think of at least Moeen Ali and Stuart Broad off the top of my head. Samit Patel the opposite; slow left arm and bats right handed.

That was a long disheartening and embarassing day. Bones bowled OK, but he's more a containing bowler. He'll take wickets if there's pressure at the other end as well.
Brandon didnt bowl too well.
Knackers was OK
But the seamers......eeish
There are better options in the NPL.
If you can't bowl consistent line and length you'd better be bowling 145 to make up for it.
We've spread our bowling resources too thin between here and the Chigumbura holiday makers.

They need to find some seamers for the 50 over stuff or we're chasing 400 in those games as well.
It would be better to fly someone back or get Nyauchi or someone experienced in there.

When are we getting a HPC with a proper bowling coach to identify the guys we need to work with and get some professionalism going? Tick Tock Tick Tock....

I took a look at young Banks for Rangers today. He doesn't look bad. Still got some growing and filling out to do, but bowls tidily. Obviously didn't get anywhere near the u19 set up because that would require an unjaundiced eye to see he's got something about him. I'm not suggesting he should be anywhere near this side, but keep an eye on him, really nice smooth action.

We just cannot keep muddling along. Who's let Mangongo and Chigumbura get into a cock measuring competition? Surely we're too far gone to allow this nonsense.

Next SA side to tour will be the SA Submerging Eleven.

Navqi gets 4 wickets and also gets that annoying wicketkeeper out also cheaply 😁😁

These guys have put on 595!!
Epic innings from Senokwane
Good stuff, again from Antum.

Dismal from everyone else.
We've been handed a cricket lesson here.

Have to survive an ugly day and a bit for a draw.
