Definite runout missed by Chigs there. Should've been 5 down there!!!!!

Well well well, looks like the guys bowled extremely well! Welcome development! Expected considering helpful conditions. Pity I missed the opening spells of our new ball pair! Jarvis looks to have bowled well too. Another surprise is Shingi, and the fact that he was picked ahead of Vitori!

Perhaps I should be looking at Elton & Meth's bowling figures, and use that to say Jarvis&Shingi's unexpected performances must be due to the helpful conditions! Afterall, Regis picked instead of Utseya must say something to that effect. The logical inslusion of Matsi warms my heart! :D Otherwise I almost got the lineup spot on!

Elton :W: :W:
We missed him in that Test. I still say we have no better bowler against lefthanders in Zim. The way he dislodged Guptil, further highlights his allround bowling class.

If Taylor grows some balls and opens with Hami, instead of throwing Matsi in the deepend on his international return, we might actually win this thing :!:

So far I've seen Elton bowl between 126-128. Better than the average speeds of Jarvis, Vitori & Shingi in the Test match.

Ok, the real Jarvis returns when I'm watching! I must've spooked him!
