I think the weather may put people off. I'm sure whoever wins the toss is bowling?

Just took a look at the weather. You are right. Not looking good over the 5 days actually. Not the typical Bulawayo conditions as well

Another issue with our system is they obviously pick some people from domestic (quite a few get a pass) and they go into intense camp with decent coaching, play a series or two and in the unlikely event they get dropped they go back into our weaker domestic now much better equipped to make runs. They're then next in line all over again for a promotion. It creates the musical chairs scenario.
There's virtually no quality coaching in our franchise system, it's a net or two and then play.

Interesting team. Has anyone ever made a test debut without playing FC cricket?
