That spinner with the crap action is actually bloody good. Tough line and length and bowling quicker than it looks and skids on. He's had a big tournament.

He sure looks good but I think he's most likely a Paul Adams type. Weird action and that's about it. High level players will probably deal with him no problem

Well he bowled good line and length, hard to deal with that regardless of his action.

I never really bowled as a kid (tried to be a wicketkeeper lol), I'm always curious how anyone develops these really weird actions. Like surely you get taught in a certain way?

Terrible end to the innings. Probably going to end up 20-30 short here, in typical Zim style.

I've always wondered that myself as well, I was always taught that your arm brushes your ear on the way through. Bumrah for example bowls the way he does due to a hyperextension same with Murali I think so typicallly it's probably got something to do with that

248 should be enough i would think. Its going to be an interesting second half to the innings. Credit to the tail enders for trying to hit out. Its basically 5 an over for Scotland to get. Not easy as pitch taking spin
Mitchell will have to bowl his 10 today i imagine

Last wicket partnership of 14 runs just might have tipped it. A total near 250 looks better than mid thirties target

That action is from lobbing Molotov cocktails at passing police cars.
