He is a good player. Pressure to perform. It's horrible.

Kaia needs to chill out. He's a good player. Looks like he's visibly feeling the pressure recently.
This is true. I think they don't really give him time in the team. He is always the first to get chopped. They need to give him 7 or 8 games. He is a better player than Shumba who they replaced him with for example.

I'm hoping Gumbie can get to 50 before it starts raining. Do runs and wickets in a No Result game count?

Joylord has got no onside game. They're just stacking the offside.

Gumbie is getting to the stage in international cricket where there is enough footage and you are enough of a problem that teams start working you out. They had the gully in really close at the beginning then a back stop. It shows that he is growing.

A guy who doesn't give his wicket away is annoying :lol:

Ya they've worked him out. Imagine if we had a captain/analyst/coach who worked opposition batsmen out? We should try it sometime :cry:

Sounds a hassle and at complete odds with the ZC ethos of making it up as they go along.

Yes, they count.
