I question the motive of not casting our net far and wide at all levels. They say we need to build our grass roots and reward people who've stayed (most have had no choice) and plugged away. If I were being kind I'd say it's optimistic, but it's way darker than that, but it just cannot work, we have long since passed the tipping point. At most we have to hope Mr Mukhulani keeps us relevant at ICC.

I might be wrong but i thought all international games, the pitch and assuming the outfield are graded. So if games cant get up at Takashinga, they may lose their ability to host games for awhile.

Hopefully England will lose today, and then all of Zimbabwe and Scotland's games are washed out so England get knocked out :lol:

England have good bowlers. Green and this Ahmed kid is Riaan Ahmed's younger brother, much better bowler than Riaan , who we know was fast tracked. Flower is waxing lyrical about him. He will be in that England set up real soon.
And watch this Rew kid bat. Theyve got s good side.
That delivery from Ahmed was unbelievable. He's going to have a huge say in this Wc on these pitches.

Actually not sure about Green, very up and down, no movement. He played against the Zim snr side in a warm up game last year, NW destroyed him.
This Ahmed kid is unbelievable. He is going to be somebody for sure. Look at that dip!
I see Tino is back in the money seat.

3 good games being played. That wicket is likely the end for Pakistan today. Englamd have bowled well.
