Shoutout to Alvin Chiradza too. All the praise for Cumball and nothing for Alvin!
He looked really good as a teenager but seemed to just completely fall off.
Was also looking into that, he actually never played for the u19's though, did he really fall off that hard? Great to see him grab the opportunity he got with both hands!
Except they are first class runs and we never play tests.
Also he takes the same position as Burl and Raza etc so you have to drop one of them.
He can bat at 7 in odi cricket and strengthen the middle to lower order instead of playing 5 bolwers which is madness . Also Williams is not playing so it makes it even more ridiculous that he's not going to Sri Lanka.
I’ve been dismissive of Cumball too, but if he cracks the double then he’s firmly on the radar. Means he’s matured and he didn’t have that before.
I once predicted three years ago he could one day come good and that day might be tomorrow.
If he then gets another ton. He has to be called up.
He might be white, but he’s also got Ali Campbell links so he should be ok for the call up.
