This is all because of us. ZCF has been responsible for Moor and Burl, and we will get Jakiel into the team too.
Not that there's any doubting his ability (as a top class bowling allrounder who is just as comfortable opening the batting as he is bowling 150kmph toe crushing yorkers, he's an automatic selection) - we just need to convince the man himself to make himself available for selection again! Judging by that article, we've almost convinced him

True I have seen him mentioned on this platform countless times I was so glad on reading the article early on Sundaybrmtaylor.com admin wrote: ↑Mon Dec 31, 2018 3:25 pmThis is all because of us. ZCF has been responsible for Moor and Burl, and we will get Jakiel into the team too.

I hope he will get a run in the side and realise his potential
Re: Jackiel- Our own Malinga
ZCF really does have pulling power with the selectors. Imagine if I hadn't started #Ervinemania and #Moormania?!

Moormania seems to have increased the bloke's self belief. He must be a regular guest here.

Murraymania seems to have produced results also.

Re: Jackiel- Our own Malinga
Has there ever been a ZCF driven campaign that hasn’t resulted in national honours ?

Re: Jackiel- Our own Malinga
No, but we weren't all that successful in getting Matsi and Dabengwa out of the team in the early years. It seems we can only get guys into the lineup!

Re: Jackiel- Our own Malinga
Remember there was a Nyumbumania too, which worked well around his debut. Very few failed campaigns to "get them in the team" for sure.
