Zimbabwe Bowling Option looks terrific :D

Jaure smashed for 17 runs in his first over. Daniel Jakiel & Mark Olonga deserved a place in this squad.

I would like to know the thought process behind this Jaure kids selection in our A teams? He has no club record that I can find of note, he plays school cricket at Falcon and has some gas but doesn't seem to have any idea where to put it. How Zhawi and Diplock keep getting overlooked is honestly beyond me. Stats mean nothing to selectors obviously. This bowling attack is poor.

So you now want to replace a nondescript 19 year-old with solid grown-up men in the prime of their careers. At last some common sense.

Getting blown away, but quite a good effort from Magarira given the circumstances.

Our bowling really let us down. Who is Jaure sleeping with? How can he get so many gigs yet no stats to back his selection. We should have just sent the Risings stars there.

Zimbabwe Domestic Players has got skill and talents, problems for their loss is lack of domestic games taking place in order.

#### Board should make the pool large, even they should bring in local club players, no matter wheather they have got skill or not they needs to be tested, players base needs to be made large


####ZC should'nt decide the fate of domestic games on the availibility of star players, Domestic Games should continue with the youths and local players, even if stars leave for T20s in other countries or in UK


####Since every issues are now settled, board needs to look at the infrastructure of domestic cricket.


#### Six Round Logan Cup is enough,emphasis should be on shorter format cricket odis and t20s tournaments should be long with more teams.

I'll repeat it BRM - http://www.espncricinfo.com/series/1797 ... a-t20-cup/
Zimbabwe 165/7(20 ov) KZN-Inland 166/7 (18.1/20 ov)
KZN-Inland won by 3 wickets (with 11 balls remaining)

Sadly, Zim were floored by a "quota" captain and his excellent spinner.

Brilliant performance by Maruma. 81 off 55 balls including 9 fours and 2 sixes - 147.27 SR. Impressive from Ndlovu. I'll keep an eye on Magarira.

Great knock Maruma. He is the best short format batsman we have on this tour. He should continue this good form. Its a bit too late for him to try and get a gig in Agfan.
He should roll his arm more often too. Definitely more of a threat than the spin of Ndlovu, Mutombodzi, Chari and Kaia. Would knock over a number of these semi-pros.

Kasuza and Nathan letting themselves down but they are options too. I really don't get the logic in Moor batting at 4 in T20s, particularly in this lineup and tournament.

Surely Kaia should be groomed for ODIs and Tests? Anyway it's still only his 2nd T20. He may well prove us wrong. Wrth noting that Haseeb Hameed tried to be an all-format specialist but ended up messing up his game so much that he's out of the Test squad.

Sarel Erwee single handedly won them the game. Dunno what game you're watching bud.
