That’s not to say there’s a quota, there isn’t. There’s just an acceptable number of murungus in a side.
That's a quota system then isn't it and why there is so much inconsistency in selection

A quota would be a fixed 4 murungus, 6 black fellas and an Asian.

This is more we don’t want too many murungus because it might be perceived as a bad look by some guys. Besides Jono ain’t being overlooked because he’s a murungu.

Who would you chop from the middle order of:

Williams
Raza
Burl
Madande

to accommodate him?

Or you having him open/3 or as a specialist bowler and who you chopping for him?

For starters Williams is not going to Sri Lanka

Gumbie
KLong
Ervine
Madande
Raza
Burl
Campbell - instead of Shumba,Munyonga,Kaitano
Welly
Jongwe
Richie
Blessing

Not to mention that Bennett should also be in the Squad. When Williams is available it's a good problem to have isn't it.

I couldn't care if there were no whites in the team , just pick the best side available and on merit.

Larry was in the side on merit after he single handedly pulled it back against WI at the qualifier and you wanted him chopped :lol:

There’s no panic about Jono, he will get his turn and he’ll boss it.

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.
Why do you dislike Campbell so much, SZ? Never seen you write good about him.
I don’t dislike him at all. I just dislike the posters on here and the even worse idiots on social media who want every white in the team for no reason. Up until three weeks ago Cumball had never done anything to warrant being in the team except for existing and having white skin but loads of clueless people who have never watched a Logan Cup match in their lives were clamouring for him to be in the team? Most likely they had never ever watched him bat even. That’s what I dislike.

I have no problem with Cumball himself. He’s had a great few weeks, long may it continue!
