We’ll never know how he fairs in white ball cricket if he’s not given the opportunity. Raw pace has always been a valuable commodity ZC always overlooks. In some instances eg tournaments ang high pressure games, raw (and often wayward) 140 km+ bowlers eg Olonga, Tait can win you matches by simply unsettling and/or terrorising batsmen esp the lower order

Nick Gubbins has never taken a wicket in 91 previous First Class games.

What does he bowl? I'm assuming spin of some sort?secretzimbo wrote: ↑Mon Jan 24, 2022 3:06 pmNick Gubbins has never taken a wicket in 91 previous First Class games.

Cricinfo says he's a leggy
Re: Logan Cup 17-20 Jan | Tuskers Vs Eagles | Rhinos Vs Rocks
I'll bet he's half decent. Did the captain just chuck him the ball or what? Or he reckoned it was a turner?

No idea, but only 2 other wickets have gone to spin in the match, so pitch doesn't seem to be a raging turner.
Nice to see the Overseas contributing big though, even if it's not in the expected skillset!

Both overseas guys not having a brillisnt time of it with bat. Prospects masuku and chivanga have accounted for them
Re: Logan Cup 17-20 Jan | Tuskers Vs Eagles | Rhinos Vs Rocks
It goes to mindset. Batters probably saw him with the ball and thought- oh shit, we'd better watch out here, he must be good.

Zimbabwe should offer Nil Gubbins, Will Fraine, Ben Crompton, Bryan Curran & Brade Evans to play for Zimbabwe as they have no future in English set up. Getting them will make Zim strong
B Crompton
R Chakbva
W Fraine
N Gubbins
S Williams
B Curran
S Raza
B Evans
W Masakadja
B Muzurbani
