Opening post

I'm very excited to see how Cremer will go in Franchise cricket when it comes around. He's conquered all comers in levels lower than that, but it'll be his first real test outside his stint in Test cricket which was quite some time ago now. Spinners typically haven't done very well in SA Franchise cricket, but that could just be because they aren't very good - we've seen the national selectors pick Petersen, Adams and Boje in recent times, along with Botha just a year or two after he converted from medium pace, so it might be the quality of the bowlers rather than the pitches.

Its not looking to go they shud break this partnership...hey i am Zim Cricket's biggest fan how come i didnt know about these boards...if we beat this team then it proves that we have good back up for our national team.


Slightly random, but I thought I'd commend you on your excellent username. Excellent stuff.

Duffin kept his spot. I'm shocked.

Well, it looks like GriqW are going to make at least 400, let's hope our batting holds up. Funnily, I've got more hope in the performances of Chakabva and Cremer with the bat than Duffin, Mawoyo, Kasteni and Mujuru combined.

3/172

Welcome to the forum Utseyalitharan :D
Duffin's form is quite obviously shocking of late (how long has it been since he even got off the mark?!?) but I'm backing him to do well in this game. Place in the team under pressure, presumably good batting conditions chasing what will likely be a big first innings score - all tailor-made for a Duffin special of attrition, mental strength and technical bliss.

Cremer got a wicket and broke the partnership. He was getting a bit of a hammering earlier, now his economy is looking better (3.9).
