Weird seeing some of these boys after a few years. Falao has grown so much!!! Nice to see him bowling - that wicket to Dickson - sending middle stump absolutely flying!

Smart stumping by Taruvinga behind the stumps. He's only 15 I think.
Falao has got a beautiful smooth action. Looks really good. Surprised he's not a bit quicker, but its early days.

Surely on the first decent deck we get to play on we should be giving a couple of seamers some game time? It's head scratching stuff.

Sometimes probably not worth getting wickets. I'd rather have seen these two going at 50% for another 10 overs than see Tector come in, followed by Le Roux.

I read a great article about Gordon Greenwich
When he used to play County and fancied a bowler he'd swing and deliberately miss a couple of balls an over, whilst still hitting at least one boundary and a two that over, the captain would keep bowling the guy thinking they'd get Greenwich soon enuf, but GG was way ahead of them. He did it for a few years and no one figured it out.

Their two best batsmen at the crease now. This is a really important passage of play.

Falao and Dube have been on the radar for a few years. Zvinoera looked pretty sharp the other day as well from the few clips we saw. Our spinners have been good too so far (albeit on helpful decks). The bowling looks alright. Need the top order to find some form now.

I didn't realise both bennets bowl

B Bennet has been brightest so far from a batting and bowling perspective. I bet they egg each other on too 😂😂

D Bennet is the wrist spinner. Always worth giving them time to develop. I think he also might have more potential with the bat, not much in it, but he's always been perceived to be not quite as good as Brian. He's got fight, trust me.

Chirwa bowling beautifully, looks really good.
