Why isn't Chisoro bowling?
Peterhouse U14C 4th change bowler and no. 10 batsman (but only because Aaron didn't have a bat).

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.
ZCF :roll:
Both of you guys have been hoodwinked by the fact chisoro can't really bat!
So you assume he is a specialist.

What was it? Three seasons ago?

He was a medium pace bowler who made a switch.

Williams has been bowling longer and more successfully than chisoro, who is a part timer himself.

Is Chisoro even there or..?
Or Captain Cremer can't spot Chisoro or Hamilton in the field?

Zimbabwe have wasted all these Tests instead of useing them to groom Wellington Masakadza.
I agree with this I'm not gonna lie

I haven't seen any of the play so maybe someone can fill me in. Is the pitch unplayable? Why are Raza and Chisoro going at nothing an over? Why aren't WI playing with more intent?

The pitch is not unplayable. It is offering some help to the bowlers. The Windies have offered a couple of chances and the bowlers have all been bowling with discipline. They seem content to just plug away at it and keep their wickets intact.

Williams does well next to Cremer - he's an All Rounder of Test quality.

Raza and Chisoro do well next to Cremer - must be the pitch and WI intent.

Cremer has handed WI 30 of their 60 runs. He's the problem. He's poor.

Even Mire and Mpofu looked tougher to bat against than him.

Rubbish. Cremer had both chances off him and has tested the batsmen. He has given more runs because he isn't bowling darts.

I was surprised when Streak was praising Jarvis' workload in the interview he had with Liam.

It's no wonder Chris Mpofu has barely bowled!

One wonders how much Heath Streak is paid, and for what?

May be Golden Arm will get a bowl in the last innings of a 7 match test series against Uganda?
