For all the hype about how quick he is, his pace has been underwhelming. But he does seem to bowl a heavy ball.

Nice first over from Chivanga but I'm glad we can finally put all that 145+ bullshit to bed.

Fancode is an excellent app folks but it is only for indian viewers. 400 INR for entire year and they broadcast a lot of series. Even the latest Bangladesh - Sri Lanka series was broadcast by them, the ongoing Net-WI as well as Zim-Afg.
Very pleased with the bowling so far. Great to see a lot of energy in the field as well, chivanga getting a wicket on debut in his very first over.

I'm liking the bounce he's getting on some occasions. That short delivery to Shahidi directed on his body was a good one too.

He will get smashed on a flat pitch, not a fan.

That opening spell from Larry was top class he deserved a wicket. Most of those deliveries were unplayable.
Top Bowling speeds so far:
Blessing 136 - 84
Larry 129 - 80
Chivanga 136 - 84

Larry hit 136 kph too on one occasion, but that was a one-off.

This is the beauty of ODI cricket which we can never find in the monotonous T20s. The new ball spell when the new ball is moving around, then the batters get to score freely after seeing out the first hour, Spinners getting into play on the middle and then the dash at the end, which can also help the bowlers with the old ball.
ODI cricket is best when played on sportive wickets, else it is just a prolonged version of T20s which no one likes.

Eeish this no livestream is cooking my head
Bet365 claims they're having a technical issue.
If they use a Zim police speed gun that will get the speeds up to 250

Can't wait to see Tiripano's bowling speeds. 😂 His effort ball is probably about 110 nowadays 😂

Good comeback from Chivanga after that freebie first ball. He's fast-medium, not genuinely quick for sure.

Agreed this is my favourite format of the game.
Also probably our strongest.

Ahh I missed that, it’s not showing every ball on bet365 so just noting them down when I see them. Larry doesn’t need pace if he keeps moving the ball like he does top class swing bowling.

Is there an argument that Tiripano should have opened the bowling with Larry? His only remaining strength is that he can get the ball moving sometimes, so surely bowl him in the first hour?
Blessing will be just as effective any time in the innings probably.
I really don't know how Tiripano is still in this team though.

They did not show his bowling speeds at all.

Didn’t see the speed gun for Tiripanos over, it mustn’t catch walking pace 😂

That wasn't very good from the Don. That last ball should have been another wide
