No comment...
Well there is obviously a comment there, and a snarky one too.
Pretty much...I sometimes think people are quick to judge...so I couldn't resist, and mind you hind sight is 20-20 vision...all lighthearted, no spite meant!

Tino is a treat to watch, more reassuring than Duffin, Matsy or Ewing ;)

An upturned broom with a bucket for a head would be reassuring that Matsi.

For the Mpofu doubters: a little insight from the ground, courtesy of Cricket365's Tristan Holme:
It was clear Mpofu understood conditions and how to bowl in them much better than the others. The difference btwn 426 and 526
Home-ground advantage...

Yes very very very very naughty Doc. NZ aren't as generous as Pak with their fielding, but with a batsman as substandard as this they clearly don't need to drop catches in order to get him out!

Mpofu showed why we need Rainsford & Panyangara there, now Tino shows why we need Duffin there, just as much as Waller will soon show why we need Ewing/Matsi there :!: :!:

Such scenes will play themselves out for the next 2 years. Looks like I'm on track so far. Like there was ever any doubt. ;)

Couldn't resist...but that has assumptions written all over it...that aside, I'm not too sure Tino is a world class opener, and I am on record on the forum, pre Bangladesh saying he may not be the best in the world but in Zim, unless Ballance wlaks back, we are pretty stuck with him...Duffin, I respect your view but am not convinced he would have played Danny any better...

Sibanda has now made a solid start and if he is there still by the end of play he'll have over 50 to his name. He needs to make a big score in this game.
