Well was a hard fought game. Can’t really fault the bowling. Batting was maybe 10-15 runs shy. Wez and Marumani need the chop. Everyone else can have another run out tomorrow. Hopefully Williams is fit. Not been making the runs but feel better with him in the team.
Can't fault the bowling ? It was shithouse
No it wasn’t. It was mixed but with lots of good stuff.

Blessing, Richie and Bennett's 1 over were good that's not even half the overs bowled. The rest were ordinary

Im in the U.K. currently, and bet365 is working albeit with no sound or commentary today
I did notice that two days back there was no commentary but there was sound.
Usually it has all of it

Quick 3 :lol: Williams will be puffed out at his age.
He’s as fit as anyone in the side.
Has occurred to me how skinny Williams is.
He has literally 0% body fat. It actually looks unhealthy for 37

Risk jongwe again next over?
No give it to Bennett
Spin in the 19th over? :lol:

At least Pat is very occasionally slightly amusing with his trolling.
Pat would be well advised to not go for the joke in EVERY post.

Quality over quantity.

My favourite moment of today was that one handed diving catch from Madande off the bowling of Gwandu (the no ball). Didn't think he was capable. Really want him to improve his keeping.

This ended up being screened on Zombie TV. Watched half the Irish innings.

KLong and Madande to open. Chuck Munyonga and Mavuta into the side as well
Ya that’s a good shout. Mavuta is needed. We were 8 overs down (well 7) with Raz Dawg and Williams out of action. Munyonga can smack it around, seemed lacking in acceleration today at the back end.

The big up for me was Burl's brief bowling changes.
Bowling Jongwe at the end could have paid off if Marumani had held that catch.

It wasn’t that bad. They took it the distance. The odd bad ball but nothing like we’ve seen Larry bowl. Few wides and stuff. Gwandu will find his way. Fielding let us down.
