Whilst we are short of batsmen the bowling stocks are also thin. We don't have any other quick bowlers in Zim.

Theres a Falcon youngster who's about 6ft 5 and a leftie that might end up being decent. That's if he doesn't go the academic route.
Have we got a name?

Luke is the type of guy that needs an Andy Flower to make or break him. Hes always been a bit all over the place.

Also, going back to Brian Murphy, when did he sneak into the coaching set up with the under 19's :lol:
That was a reap blast from the past seeing him in the changing rooms

I can't remember. Watched him practice a few times under some able coaching but he's the exact guy that needs to be in an HPC with a world class coach.

Yea jongwe in 2012 looked like he would have the world at his feet. Bowling mid 80'a and scoring solid runs for the under 19's.

Him and Mumba looked like the future

Nice! We need raw talent like that. Get him to the alistair Campbell high performance academy. Hopefully Gary Brent or Jarvis can do something

Ya I dunno. He was never going to cut it there, too much politics. I've never seen him coach so can't offer any info.

I never thought Mumba had international potential. Looked OK but ...

Jarvis sells fast food and collects his big salary.
Gary is with the women, doing a great job, but he should be the HPC seam bowling coach. I think he's totally wasted.

The AC Academy is an indoor centre with some decent coaches that take schoolboys and pro players that pay for throwdowns. There's no actual High Performance Academy as such. There was but GB got a job with ZC.

Maybe Dirk Viljoen will see the merit in ramping up The AC Academy with some up and coming players. I don't see why it's not a priority, because it's essential and it's not currently happening.
