He needs a shot in the T20, it’s what Zim A is for and he’s put his hand up.

I don't think I have seen or heard about anybody maintaining a strike rate over 200 in a one day series before. I don't think he has dropped below 200. Scoring runs too..That is insane.. this is the kind of guy who might not score many against Australia or Pakistan this year but in a tournament full of associate teams he would score plenty and at that rate too. He would be very useful against a team like Scotland or Hong Kong where he would kill their confidence in less than 30 minutes.

NRR might come into play in this tournament. He would be as annoying as that guy from Afghanistan who recently came back from a ban who just blasts everything up top. We really are not doing ourselves any favours here.

Varaiya to Musakanda, FOUR, on a length, outside off, unfurls a premeditated reverse sweep, picks the vacant gully area, rolls down to the rope
Tari is willing to catch that disease of reverse sweeping too, by the looks if it :(

It would be great if these two guys guide us home. Precisely what you would expect from the next generation stars.

When we know we’re going to roll them cheaply and then win the toss and elect to field and then only need to chase a low total when we’re trying to have a look at batters is fucking stupid. Does some wally want to get back to Harare before 5pm? Pisses me off.

Well Ryan Murray is certainly doing his chances no harm. A stumping a catch and some runs with young Tari. Give him the gloves full time in the national side

Clinical work. What you would expect from the Musakandas, Murrays and Burls day in and day out. To give us confidence about the (near) future of the game in the country. Didn't rotate strike all that well, but ensured a good outing nonetheless.

Good work from the youngsters to complete the chase with minimal damage. Murray really seems like the find of the year. At this rate he will be ahead of Tari and Burl in the packing order. Oh sic, we just playing a 2nd division team.
