A stack of milestones in that game

Ervine passes his brother with his 30th career ton.

Williams only the fifth to reach 10 international hundreds for Zimbabwe along with 7000 international runs.
200 career catches for Sean too.

1000 List A runs for Wes

50 international catches for the crocodile

200 career wickets for Ngarava with his first international bag of 4.

150 international wickets for Raza is quite a feat for a part timer, although he is pretty much an all-rounder these days.

I wonder if he will get to 100 ODI wickets?

Yeah, absolutely. And surprised that he got there before Williams considering how many they had a little while ago.

He is the leading part timer, though yeah, most would now see him as a batting all-rounder.

Yes it's interesting to see how both Williams and Raza's bowling duties/ roles have evolved over the years. Williams was already a 'fulltime-part time' bowler before Raza started bowling, and from there they both transitioned into all-rounders.

But now Williams is very much a part time option IMO, whilst Raza has transformed himself into a mystery spinner.

It is probably also about how much more batting responsibility Williams has taken at 3 / 4 and has been in such rich vein of batting form over the last 3-4 years, that his contributions are restricted to more of containment, whereas coming further down the order with the bat, Raza is the more attacking bat, and brings in more experiments with the ball as well, by trying more attacking options there. I'm not sure if their batting roles affect their bowling approach as well. Would be fascinating to ask them this.

Yeah it would be interesting to know how they see themselves. I reckon Raza sees himself as an all-rounder and Williams sees himself as a part timer ( or full time part timer as Jaybro says)
