Looks like not much change to look up to. But I see Moor coming in

Maybe we can use guys like Hamilton Masakadza and Malcolm Waller more in the next Test match and see how they can do. I think a slower bowler bowling wicket to wicket with the keeper up is something we may look to do in the next Test."

Its one thing going into the game with a set plan. Its quite another when that plan doesn't pay off and you have to try something else. Cremer has been guilty of sticking to the planning even if its not paying off.

Waller seems to be the team Mascot then at list Streak put it clear.

That statement is laughable by the team management. It took the SL test and this first test here before they could realize Hamilton could bring something different to the table with the ball?

What stops Cremer from just casually throwing the ball to him while the match is on? Was he not allowed to do that at all? Just shows how non-imaginative all our captains have been if simple things like this need explicit statements made.

Taibu was the last intelligent skipper we had but he did not have the resources to showcase his intelligence.

Utseya and Chigumbura used Hami extensively. Why in discussing a particular point must we lump everyone together.

BT and now Cremer have shown disturbing levels of non thinking.

Using Hami to bowl is a no brainer.

Streak will be sacked.

Foolishly left put a 2nd spinner in SL and did the same in ZIM after preparing a demon pitch. You can't script such madness.

This is the thinking that's celebrated here, no matter how muchvit hurts the team. Thankfully in SA not even AB de Villiers was immune to such, and it was minor in comparison.

The journalism is even more pathetic. What article do these jokes write without 75% o being politics, economy and moaning about lack of games?

Prove that.

I found it bizarre at the end of the 3rd day when there were about 3 overs left and you could hear Hami by the stump mic asking Mire if he still had the energy for one over. I was asking myself why would he not give the ball to himself? Very strange indeed. Maybe he doesn't want to . If he really wanted to at that point he could have done so. I don't think anybody would have objected.

I already did. I posted the stats recently. Look them up in the forum.

Why do you think you have been discussing Hami being used to bowl even before this Test started, and why do you think Kriterion embarked on his yet another failed debunking mission (apart from the obvious fact that he hates Hami).

Those stats also proved that Hami even blindfolded is a much more effective "part-timer" than Sean and Raza.

As always if you're more focused on defending the captaincy of BT and Cremer, as well as the bowling of Sean and Raza, there's no way you'll absorb the evidence.

Like giving himself his number 3 batting spot right?

So Hami should just open the batting, roll his arm for 10 overs while Craig taking up his spot, is under no danger of doing anything else, and Malcolm scratches his backside while batting at number 7?

If you bothered to watch the game you would know that the pitch offered very little to the seamers and the spinners did most of the damage 28 wickets fell to spin 10 to seam and 2 run outs

I still don't know why you're commenting when you didn't watch the game

Williams took 6-111 for the match please Hhm explain to me how he didn't bowl well ?? Should be interesting to se your response since you didn't watch the match
