Good on Vusi. Symcox has been a tool of the highest order in this series, about time someone put him in his place.
What did Vusi say exactly?

I heard BT in the box the other day, he seemed pretty insightful. To be fair, most of the Zim guys do a good job. Tino, AC, Dirk, Dean, etc all good. The only truly hopeless one that I remember is Hugo Ribatika.

There was an older guy that had let himself go a bit in the stands and Vusi jokingly said to Symcox that he thought they were related. It was funny and didnt require the slightly off reaction- Symcox immediately made an unnecessary remark about Zim being beaten and wasn't Vusi in that side? Just OTT, he's a bit sensitive.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Symcox is just bitter that Manthorp got the junket to Australia while he got lumped with this tri-series.

Hopefully next time Manthorp is able to cover the Zim series. He actually likes the country and wants to see Zim do well.

He's condescending as well. We get that a lot from the South Africans and it's galling.

I'm watching the Cape Cobras, two unbelievably crap batsmen at the top of the order. They're not even good enough to get themselves out.

Why catch a batsman that is scoring at 60%??

west indies easily dispatched Sri Lanka..warning signs for us..Harare was clearly a 200-220 wicket, Sri Lanka struggled like us today. would be interesting if we sneak in a victory next game.besides Bangladesh the west indies and Sri Lanka are the 2 closest teams to us..if they are beating us by big margins in our own conditions then we are honestly going nowhere

Exactly my thoughts too.
