What's the thinking behind some of these selections? Everytime I see Faraz Akram's name on a team sheet, I ask what exactly it is that they see in the guy. He bowls 105 kph pies and gets whacked everytime.

Blignaut getting a pasting, who knows why he was fast tracked. A cricket is quite high level to be fair to it.
Apparently this is Elton's (the Owner of Elton Chigumbura Academy, Head Coach Zimbabwe National Academy, U19 Head Coach, National Team Selector) way of preparing the youngsters for the U19 world cup. We'll toss you the the storm hope you can swim.

The selectors never cease to amaze this was a perfect opportunity to actually see how people like Frost, Matt Welch stake up. Truly it was worth giving these guys a shot perhaps some continuity from the side that faced Durham.
