Mutumbai BACK WITH A BANG
5.4

SW Masakadza to Mutumbami, FOUR, oh dear, a mis field at short third, after Mutumbami glances fine and straight to short fine leg, goes through his legs to the boundary
5.3

SW Masakadza to Mutumbami, FOUR, oh my! CARNAGE! bowls it slower, Mutumbami kneels down, unfurls a slog sweep over deep mid wicket
5.2

SW Masakadza to Mutumbami, FOUR, and another one, straight back over Shingi's head. top stuff this
5.1

SW Masakadza to Mutumbami, FOUR, hello and welcome! fires it on a length, a touch fuller, Mutumbami powers it over the head of the bowler. Good shot

And Waller. 18 ball 50 with 5 6s. His reinvention as a T20 specialist in the last 6 months has been both remarkable and completely unexpected.

He's just taken 50 off his last 10 balls!

Finally Waller shows up and gets a score. Things not looking gud for Ervine he might seriously mc this WC. Surely Wasakadza has done enough to get a ticket to India.

Indeed. And his 1st ton in any format. Plus Waller 78 off 25! Wow.

If he gets some more scores like that and continues with his power hitting... get him on the plane why not.

Astonishing knock by Waller.

If we want to pack as much power and six-hitting ability as we can into the top four, how about

Hami
Moor
Raza
Waller

has any other zimbo ever hit a century? that is impressive. Waller also in incredible form. no way 220+ is going to be chased down.

who do u guys think is putting their hand up out of the fringe players? I would say Zhuwao, Shingi Masakadza, Chari and definitely Chapungu with a century are still in contention.

Interesting comment about Jongwe actually being a batter who can ball. I guess we haven't really seen his true colours because he is only 21 and we will play in any role to get in the team.

Wish waller would actually work on his keeping. what a blessing it would be if he could take that role. at least in t20s. 20 overs can be managed by a makeshift keeper.
