I think the track is taking turn. If Cremer and the squad of part time spinners bowl well they should restrict them.
That’s the other thing- they knew the track would turn, why not pick another specialist spinner?
I'd say they did that with chisoros selection.

Raza is also probably the 3rd or 4th best spinner in the country. Behind williams cremer and maybe Chisoro, although I doubt it.
Expect Waller and raza to bowl here

Surely people realize that Chisoro is a better spinner than Williams right? It's not fair to say that Williams and Raza are in the top 5 spinners in the country. They are part timers, can't even be counted as all rounder just yet.

Chisoro, Willy Masakadza all are useless.

Spinners like Deven Bell, Jeremy Ives should be groomed, far better then Brendan Mavuta, over rated because of his villian father, who made Zimbabwe Poor

Young lads should have been given a blast in this game. The giant would surely have been a better option than Bob.
Streak evidently has his favourites but at the same time he can't let that get in the way of the greater good of the team.

The second I saw now Jarvis alarm bells were ringing

Oldman Boby Mpofu should retire and join the commentry box with his mates. Taking Maiden is not a big deal in test

Jarvis would have done nothing just like in the first Test.

ZIM has been consistently conceding 500+ runs. Why are people acting surprised or pretending any of Streak's attacks would have done better?

Only a seam attack of Shingi, Chatara and Panyangara can save Zimbabwe. I keep saying that.

Cremer's presence guarantees plenty runs leaked ALL THE TIME! Zimbabwe have wasted all these Tests instead of useing them to groom Wellington Masakadza. Look at what game time has done for Keshav Maharaj and Nathan Lyon. In my view, none of those bowlers have impressed me more than Wellington.
