Getting quite excited about him now, only 20 years old and having a cracking season for the Rhinos where he is averaging over 40 in a poor batting side.

Now he is scoring runs for Zimbabwe "A" in alien conditions, is he the best young batsman we have? do we throw him in within the next couple of years?

Some videos of his batting

Stays very still at the crease

Plays late

Hits the ball in the air a bit which isn't so great

Chatara seemed to be getting through the crease there which is a good sign ......

The video in the link above is from last season (which means it's a pre-injury Chatara bowling), this one is more recent: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2EHgfeX0yA

Ahh true, the game when Chatara made his comeback Musakanda got a duck ......

You beat me to this topic zimfan1, I was thinking about his performances in the last few days, and wanted to make a post. At this rate, I definitely expect him to be around the national team reckoning within a years time.

Here's something that happened in 2010. When a lot of us did not know who Musakanda was apart from some name who got selected in U13s and U15s, a certain Kevin Chimuka signed up as member of this forum, made just one post till date, but has vouched for young Tarisai. May be the kid is special: http://zimcricketforums.com/viewtopic.p ... =10#p19719

Dont rate him. Seen him play loads and just isnt convincing enough. Fair enough he is playing pretty well domestically at the moment but really got miles to go.

Scoring runs again today, not saying he is the real deal but perhaps he is someone we need to invest time in as he is the only batsman aged 20 or below who is scoring runs at FC level and now against a decent Afghan "A" side.

Yeah, fair play to him. May be in process of leaping over the likes of Mamhiyo, Mutombodzi and Kaia.

One of the best kids we have on staff. Very pleasant, polite and respectful but a funny guy. Last season he saw me munching on biltong in my office, very next day he goes out and buys me a pack of the stuff. His batting has really come a long way this season. His dad puts a lot of pressure on him but Tari doesn't seem fazed by it, it seems to spur him on.

I agree with you. He is a very lively, polite and humble guy as I interacted with him at the Greater Noida Stadium. Way to go Tary!
