Winless Jozi Stars keen to get it right against Tshwane Spartans

JOHANNESBURG – The Jozi Stars have played five matches and lost five matches in the Mzansi Super League this year. “No one wants to be in this position, but the fact is we haven’t played our best cricket, we keep finding ways to lose games,” said head coach, Donovan Miller.

He’s right. He’s also stating the obvious, but that’s what tends to happen when teams get on losing streaks like the Stars have had through the first half of a competition which they won last year. The most glaring individual failure has been the marquee international signing, Chris Gayle. The 40 year old has looked the very opposite of a boss in this year’s tournament, scoring just 47 runs in five innings. Last Friday in Paarl he was dropped down the order to no.3 and scored one. He also dropped a catch.

Meanwhile in another dismal performance with the bat, one of the Stars’ best batsmen, the skipper Temba Bavuma, didn’t even face a ball, something Miller mentioned but couldn’t explain. . One thread of hope he and the Stars are clinging to, is last year’s final log. That shows that the Paarl Rocks claimed the final play-off spot having won five times. To match that, the Stars will have to produce a turnaround of epic proportions.
