Munyonga is pretty useless as a player but I do kind of like the idea of a longer batting lineup anyway. When you have Williams, Sikanda, Wes and Burl in the top seven you don't need four 'real' bowlers. Jongwe only bowled one over last game and Williams wasn't even playing.

Bit like an early-00s Kenya lineup. Most of their bowlers batted top 7

lmao they used to have specialist #10 and #11 batsmen at times, so good

Munyonga batted four in the first ODI and wasn't one of the seven bowlers used. Looks like he'll be at 8 today but he may have slightly more chance of getting a bowl despite still only being the 8th best bowler in the lineup.

Lameck Onyango WAG.

It looked as if Kenyan seamer Lameck Onyango was destined to be one of international cricket's less successful performers. In five one-day internationals between 1995-96 and 2002 he took one wicket for 130, all the while conceding runs at the startling rate of 9.62 per over. A bizarre metamorphosis then occurred. By the time of the ICC Trophy in 1997, Onyango had been assigned a new role: specialist tail-ender. He played in four matches and did not bowl in any of them, batting down the order except for one match in which he was promoted to No. 2. Not quite mastering the art of pinch-hitting, he compiled a boundary-less 25-ball 13. He was surprisingly recalled to face Australia in September 2002, this time as a specialist No. 11 - and again he didn't bowl.

Maybe I should post that in the 'players who didn't contribute' thread.

Don't get why the selectors keep trying to push Carey up the order. His best efforts have always come at 6/7.

The other blokes in the side aren't really ODI #4s either tbf. Would've been cool to see Green bat there I guess.

Yeah fair call. Greens position domestically and for AUS A is 4, but I assume that's what the latter part of the comment is for.

Looks like Raza has been worked out. Plays the pull shot with pretty low hands. Will always hit it in the air to the deep.
