Bowling is an even bigger issue than batting.

Burl/Campbell/Naqvi/some other DEI anyone but Mashevere please

Why Burl? He only played total 8 fc matches in 4 years. He not even playing the red ball regularly
Don't forget his Test career with 24 runs from 3 matches.

Because he can play at this level and is a decent leggie on his day. Our domestic stats are only a small piece of the jigsaw. Madande would have to keep and Tsiga is a better red ball batsman. Maru would either have to keep or bat up the order. On a level playing field there's currently no room up the order for him. Welch is the question mark. Has he done enough to play NZ?
Depends whether Knackers and/or BT are available.
One could bring BT and/or Knackers in down the order and we have a longer line up. Or put Welch down the order for the same effect.
Knackers offers off-spin. It blows Wes out the water unless he reinvents himself.

Does Zimbabwe have racial quotas, as others are saying? I don't think so

[Pat_Bee]

Can anyone post a pic of Knackers' Green Mamba bride?

they got married months and months ago. Zolsky posted a photo of the happy couple, at the time, congratulating them. She looked alright colourful affair like these Asian ceremonies are. Better than boring white dresses.

Guess none of us cared at the time, or like me, just assumed she was someone from his past life in Shadystan or wherever and not even considered a sham citizenship bride. he’s pulled this out the bag hasn’t he

Its ostrich time with this one. We cannot win a game with our bowling attack except on a planet aligning day.
Blessing is excellent.
TK may have come of age.
Wellie has been okay/good. Doesn't take wickets.
Thats about it.

If they didn't, Muzarabani and maybe a couple of other quicks would be the only black players selected

Googly, what’s the status of Naqvi? Likely to get approved very soon? Also what’s the word on the ground regarding BT and his favor with the higher ups?

ZC and "on his day" is the most funny combo i prefer.

[Googly]

Who knows with Knackers must be close. His only other option is to become Minister of sport.
BT is fit and ready to go.

[Mr Twig]

Brad Evans surely is in the mix now. What's his status?

As much as I would like to see BT straight in, has he played any cricket at all?
