I haven’t seen Oldknow so not disrespecting the boy, but he should not be there ahead of Murray. What a poor message being sent. He’s been at school in the UK for cricket, but didn’t bat up front in his first season, yet has done fairly well in a couple of trials games he’s had here.
I’ve just spoken to someone that has seen him play, apparently has a very good eye, but technically needs a bit of work and doesn’t like the short ball, not that anyone is too fond of it , but is pretty decent.
BUT this lad before Murray is not fair.
Wow this myers Kid can really play. Only 17 too. One for the future if ZC have a discernible youth policy
Yes, he batted really well. He is actually a black guy, apart from an English grandfather who gave him his surname. Very nice, well-mannered guy too, as I spoke to him this morning.

I presume Ryan Murray is not available again due to his final year at Cape Town University.
Looking at the match there were a lot of positives regarding the team selection and also some of the performances, but also disappointing for a few guys who missed their chance, that's cricket though these things happen.
Dion Myers looks a good prospect from what I've seen so it was great to see him given a chance, shame the other youngsters Munyonga & Oldknow missed out. The running between wickets has horrendous 3 run-outs and according to the commentary there could have been a few more.
Despite the batting collapse there was some good lower order hitting from Madziva and especially Mumba!!! Shame neither had a good day with the ball though, but good to see with Mumba he could be a good lower order hitter.
Not too worried about the result just happy to have some cricket to talk about
, but is pretty decent.
