Yep it's the same predictable script every time.

Thoughts about Mumba? Looks like he's got promise, doesn't seem to have too many tricks though which is a shame. Not express (135-ish), can't swing it. Hopefully Streak works with him on his speed. If he can add 5-10kmph then we've got something.

Mumba was unlucky not to get a wicket. but yes we have to persist with him and protect him. should not be dropped irregardless of his performance in this match. i mean all the other pacers did not get anything but he is on debut.

He should work on his delivery stride - losing a yard of pace there. He could learn a few tricks and improve our stocks a bit

Lucky Tharanga is still on 96 so that means there won't be any declaration until after tea. Cremer still a chance for 5.

cremer had a lengthy discussion with the umpire at the end there, definitely about these unfair decisions, but that could annoy them even more and make it hard when we bat
