Someone there definitely sees something in Gwandu, I hope they're right. People will shout but Larry is a good option, it's going to be cloudy and humid and the ball is going to swing.
I see a good bowler in Gwandu there somewhere, he has good ingredients, but he hasnt kicked in.

I think he lacks a little pace that Blessing has. Bouncy and medium pace gets thumped. Bouncy and fast causes issues.

Still, a good coach I think could unlock him.

I think the key tomorrow will be to win the toss. I don't see any squad change making a huge difference.

I think whom they select tomorrow will be insightful as to what they think and who's doing the thinking.

The commentators were saying Maru at 7 was weird. So if he opens it means Curran is probably out and Tony comes in at 7? It also means they're privy to what's going on, possibly before the coaching staff :lol: Some of the selections are so left field that I'm convinced the coaches only have an input.

Or it stays the same, or they drop Jonno for Tony. Campbell of course should have a longer rope, but he's not getting 50 opportunities like many others, but he deserves more than the few he has had. It's frustrating because of the run outs and the shit decision, he's chewed up some opportunities without showing what he can or can't do.
Nyamhuri for Gwandu?
Burl?
