Good to see Cuthbert Musoko back in domestic cricket for the Eagles after a lengthy absence. He last played a game is 2017. Does anyone have any info on where he was. Seems he hasnt lost his touch with a return of 3/17 in the Mountaineers' first Innings.

I have no idea. Taps?
CM runs in hard, I used to enjoy watching him.

This was a guy who I always had high hopes for ever since I saw him bowl at the 2012 U19 World Cup in Australia. Sadly despite decent numbers domestically he never came close to national selection.

He looked like he might have been a Smokey for the 2015 WC when he did well in a few trail matches v Canada etc just prior, but barely sighted since.

A few trusted sources on the ground said he lost pace which is also disappointing

Yeah, it was like the whole forum was excited about Musoko, with encouraging first hand inputs coming in from Googly, gargamel and others, he was the one we were most looking forward to, to make the cut. But wasn't to be.

Yeah, and they took Utseya the medium pacer instead :roll:

Probably exactly the same. Military medium 120 fireballs with the odd 125 effort ball. No swing, no real movement. Stock ball short and wide outside off. Averages 2.50 with the bat.

It describes every seamer we’ve got bar Jarvis/Chatara.

Jarvis and Chatara are down to 125 now as well. Except they can move the ball, Jarvis more so than Chatara.
