Arrogance and aggression works well for some bowlers e.g. Alan Donald, Dale Steyn, Andre Nel, Rabada and Shoib Ahktar. Some atheletes rely on building tension, hatred, anger. artificial or not to perform well across different sports e.g. Wayne Rooney, Micheal Jordan were a**holes on the field/court and used that toxicity to drive themselves. Maybe Chvanga belongs to this class of athlete. I think because we are traditionally a poor team, our bowlers largely play with smiles on their faces, grateful for the opportunity to play vs. Pakistan/Sri lanka etc, so when a different type of bowler hits the scene, fans are taken aback by the arrogance. That said, if he intentionally/attempts to injure opponents, he must be banned/fined.CalZim wrote: ↑Mon Jan 31, 2022 9:55 pm
On final thing I have taken from today is that I can’t stand chivanga and don’t want him near the National team. He constantly moans at the pitch and he threw the ball at Marumani and didn’t even apologise despite really hurting him. His bowling isn’t great and I think he is only considered because of his pace. I would much rather Nyauchi and even some of the other pace bowling options than Chivanga.
I may be a little biased though because I can’t stand him as a person.
That said, its time to give him a series, if he doesn't live up to the hype so be it
stared at Richy for almost a minute after his over, even while the batsmen were having their end over chat
