Watched the games from afar and kept quiet, but I'm feeling delicately optimistic about these three. Men on the ground, who do you think has it to go all the way?
Matty Welch some absolute sensational shots today.
Reckon it's possible to see another set of brothers in the national side at some point in the future?

100%

There have been some good innings in this T20.
Tony Munyonga's, Kamunhukamwe's astonishing 50.
The problem is doing it at the next level when you face 6 good deliveries an over instead of 3 or 4. There's little pressure to manufacture shots because you don't need to. Then you play an international and have to play some low percentage shots at some point or you're going at a run a ball and you don't know how to. There's been some really poor bowling actually.
What we're needing is guys that can put away good deliveries, they're the good'uns.

The guy who's going to get a shot before any of these 3 is Naqvi. Straight into Takas. Passport coming off the press and a couple of grinning folk with bulging pockets.
He needs to learn our anthem pronto

Hold his chest and mime yo. That’s all Steve Kirby does.

I haven't seen them but honestly I'm very excited to see Welch brothers and Bennett in the team... I hope they don't face any obstacles because of their colour... And just get selected on merit as long as they warrant it.

Let's face it guys, Willo, Sikki and Ervine aren't going to be around for that long... 2027 is a long shot and we should look at these young guns for the future.

I can see a genuine scenario where our best lineup looks like this:
1 Welch/Naqvi
2 Welch
3 Ervine
4 Williams
5 Raza
6 Burl
7 Bennett
8 Evans
9 Wellington
10 Ngarava
11 Blessing

Will this be an issue? Only three niggas in the team?

Kaia is more test suited and Wes isnt kicking on despite showing good flashes at times.

I think it would be an issue yes.

That looks like a nice lineup but yea, there's no Maruma or Chibahba in there

I think Clive is good. Is there a keeper in that lineup?

Matt Welch is still a long way off national selection unless he absolutely dominates in domestic cricket this year.
