Powerhouse like Cephas :lol:
One would feel Kamunhukamwe is a little different from Cephas.
Ya TK is a better player imo. But nobody from here ever hit it like Bully. If he'd just been in a better environment and had someone good take him under his wing that he listened to he'd have been somebody for sure. I used to marvel at his shots.

Kaitano is hardly a limited overs player, he just defaults back to his normal game and doesn't seem to change gears. Don't reckon he can actually be considered as an ODI opener.

Ya he’s got a few proper shots not just muscling it round.

It's weird isn't it, because Kaitano has got the shots.
Just doesn't know how to rotate strike very well when the bowling is tight.

That was just a heave from Myers out of nowhere? Why?
Hit him on the hip, dunno if that was played on?
If it was LBW it might have been going over, but it was close, he was really low and deep in his crease.

I don't know why they made him captain. He's a smart guy and all, but hasn't been around long enough and too young to captain in my opinion.
It's clear hes earmarked to be captain very soon though, straight from Mawoza's mouth.
They want him to be a Graeme Smith. Let him have a few vaguely successful years in international cricket before you ruin the next guy. It's what they're best at.

I think they made Madhevere captain of a few sides prematurely as well.

Kamunhukamwe is captain of Eagles, where Myers plays, yet Myers is made captain of a regional team?
It's disrespectful. Make Myers the Eagles captain then.

Madande was excellent captaining the African games team. He even upped his game. If the shoe fits. Sometimes it's like having Ervine as captain it's just not natural.

Bennett also mistimes a pull and stands his ground.
Put the pull away to guarantee a better score !

Ya well Mandande was captaining guys more or less his own age. There's a big difference surely?

Bennett mistimes another pull and gets dropped.
Come to think of it i haven't seen him pull down?
I'll be watching out for that now.

Another guy getting a great start and not kicking on. Good innings though.

Raza has shot his own mate in the foot by not bowling him, taken away any realistic chance of him making the side. Only a fat wad can get him over the line now.
