Congratulations John Nyumbu

Marathon effort on debut, he bowled well and this 5-fer is thoroughly deserved.

And the Titans of Test Cricket restrict SA to under 400.

Just reward for a long toil! Well bowled, John Nyumbu!

Excellent effort by John Nyumbu. Second Zimbo spinner after Adam Huckle to get a 5 wicket haul on debut.

Yes. Vusi needs to find something. The middle of the bat would be good.

Traicos kind of counts too - 5 on debut for Zim.

Who was the last Zimbabwean bowler to get a 5-fer on Test debut?

Ah yes, reminds me of the legendary Adam Huckle. He was an awesome player who's career was all too short.

Let's hope Mr Gaffaney won't be as overwhelmed by the experience of Dale Steyn steaming from behind his shoulder the second time around.

Watched him bowl in our league in 2005! Spun the ball a mile, but wasn't a very approachable bloke
