There are quite a few before him,who could make way.He just made a 100 last match!one of our safest bats i would say.

We were going to win that session until the umpire decided he wanted us to lose it. There needs to be some accountability for these blokes firing Zim batsmen all the time.

I knew Waller was not going to last long when the ball is reversing like that. his technique cannot survive such conditions.. Raza and Musakanda in for Chari and Waller for me. we need to win the toss next time

Chari & Waller will be more on the firing line than Ervine & Williams (if he gets out cheaply).

At this rate it looks like Chari played better.

The Umpires decided to pick up a few wickets to wrap things up just before lunch,
They look like they are being to defensive

Wrong decision of Mawoyo lbw was a shocker. Wonder how costly that may end up being.

It isn't even like a line ball one like Hami's, everyone knows a ball hitting where Tino's did is missing every time

Just watched the wickets of Ervine, Hamilton and Waller in the highlights. We have ourselves to blame there. And our batsmen are so horrific after an LBW shout. They get to positions that make the decision easy for the trigger happy umpires. They get into such awkward positions that they look out even if they are not.

What the heck was Hamilton doing planting his front foot like that, after a similar shout in the over before? Does he even have brains?
