Eagles should have included Brendan Deaflock.. Quality allrounder


Absolutely, I'd buy a ticket and fly over to see Brendan Deaflock and Brandon Diplock sharing the new ball :shock:

Cant believe they didnt finish the game in Harare. It had stopped raining heavily in that area by 3pm. It was more of a flash storm but still overcast.


I agree. If I were an Eagles supporter I would be furious. After the main storm had passed over, it took them about an HOUR (for a guess) before they started mopping up the field, and there wasn't enough time left then to finish the job. I can only guess that the only excuse was that they could say it was still 'raining' during that hour, technically correct, but it was so light that we couldn't see it from inside, and when I finally went out in it to try to find out what was going on, I could literally have counted the tiny drops as they landed on me. There was no way that rain could have done any damage to anything if the covers had been removed and the mopping-up begun. I tried to speak to the match referee and the umpires to see why nothing was being done, but they were having a meeting with a couple of players and were not available. I think the Eagles management would have good cause to make an official complaint about how this was all handled - or not handled.

I’d pay money to see Diplock get a few games with the new ball, ZC have really messed this guy’s career up, he’s a decent new ball bowler.


Coming from somebody who's seen him bowl from the side, he's got a yard when he bends his back. He's lost a lot of weight since his stint in the UK a couple of years ago, but I was really impressed with how much he naturally swung the new ball into the right hander. By his own admission he's lazy but boy's got talent. Hard hitting batter as well. No idea why he's not being picked for the Eagles side.

The return of the Mumba

8.4-4-7-6

:D


Great! We hardly got to see him for even five overs before he got injured in that ill fated tour of Sri Lanka was it?

Wow. Now thats what you call a comeback! Best inninings and match figures. 91 wickets in 25 games with an average below 20. Kind of makes the pain of losing Blessing a bit better.

I wish somebody could tell us if he is still as quick or he lost some pace because of the injury. I heard he was faster than Blessing pre-injury with only the mythical Aliseni and now vanished Vitori being rumoured to be faster.

Sri Lanka indeed, his last appearance was the day that putting 310-8 on the board still ended up as an 8 wicket defeat, amusingly the best bowler by a country mile was Malcolm Waller :D

Looks like Chibhabha is bowling a lot more. 19 overs so far. 4 wickets. I actually think he can be a better version of Tiripano if he put his mind to it. Got no idea why he stopped bowling for a while. He gets more movement than Tiripano and he is a better batsman. He is the better option until one of the kids step up. Especially if we do play in Ireland as scheduled.

Great to se Carl Mumba back in action and back in the wickets !!!! Also good to see Tari, PJ, Madziva & Chisoro do well in this match for the Rhinos

Wow, Mumba! Hope he can back that sort of stuff up.
