There really should be a strict test home and away schedule.
Some allowances and tweaks, such as ashes etc at the expense of a 2nd tester against Zim or Ireland.
But this prizefight exhibitionism doesn’t make sense.

Marumani has more natural ability than Bennett with the bat.

Been a big point of debate on this forum since the Sibanda days.
What is natural talent ?

Totally. He ain’t producing the goods and needs chopping. All the excuses are just that, excuses. We live in an age of positive reinforcement which allows accountability to be avoided. Solely looking good in domestic won’t make runs at international level whichever way you try and spin it. The kid ...

The KPIs of batting in cricket is quite simple. You need to make runs. I don’t know how people can just dismiss critique of Marumani as just a mental thing. That IS cricket. You don’t need stroke aesthetic to be a talented bat. Look at Bennett. He looks like a tail ender but he makes the runs. More ...

I would think Ervine and Williams would like to hang on for the Lord's Test. That's a good way to sign off your career on. I have mixed feelings on that one though. On the one hand they've earned it, on the other we play so few high profile games that if we've got another couple of players doing re...

That’s was a marvelous innings by Bennett. He’s going to be a star. It’s because he understands the game well and he’s already had at least 3 useful to match winning knocks in his career. This was not that easy a pitch to bat on. Really solid performance. I watched the highlights I noticed that all...

I dont see the point of thenm retiring from the format outright, i think they would be great backup players. No doubt they are hanging in till the 27 WC. Then id say Williams retires instantly due to his body and Craig 1 or 2 test series later. I see no issue with them hanging in. Even if they decli...

Is Brendan Taylor seriously considering a comeback? Or is this just a theory? Theory like Googly said, but he did post a poll on his socials a year ago asking his fans/friends/followers if he should resume playing or look to coach when ban expires. There is a certain logic for him to play until the...

Yeah maybe in-house and he decided to announce his retirement instead and they gave him that option. It means that in theory he could start playing tomorrow. Two shit tobacco seasons and he could be back :lol: That whole episode was annoying. People had set a lot of store in him bolstering our side...

Would not mind Raza at number 3 or Burl. Give them some licence in power play.

Byt why 3? why not give them the chance to face the maximum 120 balls?
