I think if anyone is unhappy at the Mountaineers they should move to the Tuskers. Clear gaps there that can be filled quickly. They are struggling.
Why would you move from the second worst managed franchise to the worst managed franchise? :lol:

Having Kaia back in the mix would allow us to move Bennett to number 4. That is probably where he will have to play anyway when the senior players retire. Can't have your best batsman out early with nothing on the scorecard. I think its worth a try.
I don’t think you can contemplate moving Brian considering how well he is doing, in all formats. Leave him be

I hear you. Just got a feeling that after his World Cup performance teams will be paying more attention to his weaknesses. There are a few issues with his technique the bigger teams will exploit with the new ball. Other option is that he works on his technique.

Bennett has said he would rather bat 4 in red ball.

Tuskers need some soul searching. Really haven’t got going in any form this year.

What happened to Brandon James? Are the Tuskers just flat out refusing to pick him?

Played a couple of the 50 over games at the start of the season, I think.

He also played in their inter-squad game straight after Xmas, so yes presumably he's just not getting selected.

At times the Tuskers have only selected 1 Zim seamer (Masuku), alongside 2 Pakistani seamers and 2 spinners. So opportunities have been quite limited at times.

I think thats a record in domestic, if we aren't including any overseas matches.

Mutumbami is probably 2nd.
