Gave a couple of chances later on, but magnificent nonetheless. We so needed that as a nation.

Good over from Nyamhuri there. He's bowled well.

[Googly]

Wellie just needs to keep Campher on his back foot. Doesn't look too comfortable.

[Andy31]

Good take

Does look so awkward

[Googly]

Vital wicket from an innocuous delivery. Golden arm

[Googly]

Tector is so white he looks like he's wearing white skins
He'd have fuck all chance as a Zimbabwean trying to make it.

Here's an interesting fact. The nation with the most diverse gene pool (amongst a homogenous culture) are the Scots. Obviously over the millenia many tribes got as far as the Northern Scottish coastline and could go no further. Bizarrely many have Aboriginal genes, exploding the myth that the Aborigines were locked into Australia.

Maybe worth giving Bennet a go

We've fielded very very well today. Nice to see the exuberance of youth shining through here.
Wez at backward point has been brilliant

Is Ngarava injured??
