Glad to see Senzere there, he did well for the Academy side versus these Scots, does anyone know a bit more about him?

[sloandog]

I can't believe some of the names in that side.
Matt Welch and Matigimu must feel aggrieved

[zimfan1]

Can't pick everyone and remember we don't know who is fit or who is unavailable. This is the problem with ZC, their communication although improved is still poor so fans play guessing games.

[zimfan1]

I think Matthew Welch may be in the UK already.

Still 17, I think.

Which club is welch signed for UK season.

[Googly]

He stayed for the Scotland games
He should have been rewarded after yet another good franchise season.
They should have just matched him up against Senzere, Kamwemba, Hlabangana etc etc and seen who should get the opportunites going forward.
Evans was supposed to be in UK already but looks like he's stayed because all of a sudden he's a last minute inclusion and let his club side down badly I'd imagine. Maybe he will leave shortly after.

Roy Kaia being the incumbent A team captain gets weirder year after year. Batting way down the order as well
Gimu should be ahead of Luke by now. With Gimu now in the mix and hopefully Evans getting another sniff Luke is going to have to up his game big time and stop trundling in at 120 with off-cutters.

[sloandog]

Evans is signed with our club and yes, he's been delayed, but you can't blame the bloke. He has to put his international career first. ZC's communication is appalling with their own players and clearly don't give a shout about their income overseas.

I honestly am cobsmacked that Matt Welch isn't in, yet a kid like Kian Blignaut (without any FC or List A games to his name) gets included. Along with other unproven lads.

It annoys me because he could be a really good addition going forward. He's still young I know, but his disillusionment must be real. Imagine having Roy in there before him. Pathetic
