Mudiwa ManyauHOST
Yes, they didn't really fire.
Mudiwa ManyauHOST
I mean, Brian Bennett only really coming alive in the third with his, uh, 30 odd.
Mudiwa ManyauHOST
Uh, Innocent Kaya scored 55.
JoUNKNOWN
Mm.
Signa ButlerHOST
And, um, you know, props to both of them because I think, you know, when you're playing against somebody that often, like, if this is the first time we've seen a little bit of, like, lost cool, um, you know, they, they've done really well.
Signa ButlerHOST
I think that there's, you know, aside from the last game and sort of how, you know, obviously B- Bennett was not happy, you can tell by the body language there, I think it was pretty obvious.
Signa ButlerHOST
Um, but you know, I, I'm sure that there's a tremendous amount of respect for each other because, you know, if you're facing a defender and, and they're, you know, giving you loads of trouble, and if you're a defender and a striker is giving you loads of trouble, like, you have to respect that.
Signa ButlerHOST
Like, that's, that's how I see it, but...
Jack PaynterGUEST
Um, but they, they've also got a few exciting young guys as well.
Jack PaynterGUEST
Um, you know, opener Brian Bennett being one of them.
Jack PaynterGUEST
Um, he's 22.
Jack PaynterGUEST
Uh, he had a really good World Cup earlier this year.
Ed HawkinsHOST

Ed HawkinsHOST
There's an asterisk to this 11.
7 MINS LATER
Paul KrishnamurtyPANELIST
That has landed in his last five games an average of 71.
Paul KrishnamurtyPANELIST
Got to have some of that.
Paul KrishnamurtyPANELIST
And this one doesn't weigh up on the statistics, but Brian Bennett over 24.5 is just too low at 5-6.
Paul KrishnamurtyPANELIST
He's actually only won 7 out of 15 games.
Jason GillespieGUEST
I thought Zimbabwe fought hard and fought well.
Jason GillespieGUEST
I must admit I like the look of Brian Bennett at the top of the order.
Jason GillespieGUEST
I think he looks a composed player.
Jason GillespieGUEST
He's got quite a simple technique and I thought he looked quite good.
JimmyHOST
That is absolutely crazy.
JimmyHOST
Some of the highlights in that first game, um, Josh-O, was a good opening partnership with, um, Ben Curran and Brian Bennett scoring 64 as that opening partnership, and then Burley coming in deep, um, 57 off 32, helped along late by, uh, Brad Evans for 37 off 24.
JimmyHOST
So good, good in the batting department there.
JimmyHOST
In the bowling-
AjitHOST
But Wesley Madivere, innocent guy, had won a game by himself.
AjitHOST
Ben Curran, Brian Bennett.
AjitHOST
I wanted the top four to do big,
ManjunathGUEST
right?
Geoff LemonHOST
...known as the best in the business at those positions, is the best catcher, the best non-wicket keeping catcher in test history, um, by ratio, which is interesting.
Geoff LemonHOST
Second place, Brian Bennett, not the composer of the Wide World of Sports theme.
Adam CollinsHOST
Oh, wow.
Adam CollinsHOST
Ba, ba, ba, ba.
Geoff LemonHOST
He's got 20 catches from 20 innings, so he's one on the money, 1.00. They're the only two who are, who are even money or better.
Adam CollinsHOST
Mm-hmm.
Geoff LemonHOST
Um, Brian Bennett will likely dip because, you know, over time that's probably what will happen because high nines is, is as good as anyone else has ever done.
Geoff LemonHOST
If, if, if I asked you to pick the top 10 catchers by ratio in test cricket, I think either you or me could take a million years on this and never get close to it.
