Funny thing is they are under the same pressure. They HAVE to beat the Namibia U19s. After what transpired in November we literally have no choice but to bury those Namibian kids otherwise real questions will be asked. Let's see mentally where they are

They play SA U19's next week so that will be an indicator. Obviously we'll lose and be some distance off them, but by how much?

They are then going to India for three weeks which is now a bit of a waste because the tournament has moved to SA rather SL. But I assume the camp/tour was already paid for and organised etc.

Yeah to practice in different conditions that you're going to play in doesn't make sense.

Most of those boys will likely have been schooled in SA and been exposed to a good standard of school cricket. They're probably going to be strong.

Well they are playing the tournament on the same grounds they played in 2020 and spinners dominated that tournament. So maybe it will not be the worst preparation .

Don't take anything away from the zim youngsters mind. We have had best preparation for many years in this build up.

Kamwembwa has made a century now against the Zimbabwe emerging. Gwandu dube and Mackeka in that side. Very well done sir.
