Kamwemba, Patel and Macmillan look like the next batch of talented boys coming through. Hopefully we can keep one of them and get them into a franchise squad.

A mate in Harare said Macmillan is a jet when he gets going, but sadly isn't favoured due to family problems? Don't know what he means by that but it sounds like politics are going to play a part with him

Google his Dad :lol: :lol: Lots going on there!!!

Kamwemba & Macmillan are the standouts in this batch. I'm not overly convinced on Patel but he's decent for sure. Taruvinga is decent but hasn't kicked on as much as people hoped. he was dynamite around age 14/15 but has stalled a bit in SA weirdly.
Schonken is a good all rounder.

Nyamhuri & Shungu decent left-arm seamers.

Kamwemba will obviously be favored.
The gold mafia is the backbone of our economy :lol:
Macmillion will get plenty of opportunities, trust me :lol:

Honda Fit will do it at franchise level, then it will be a Bentley Bentayga thereafter. I nearly had a head on with it yesterday :lol:

Very pleasing to see the U19s win. I desperately hope the young guns will stay and we can groom them for the future.

Ya should be.

If I remember rightly last time the other non-televised games were streamed on ICC.tv or Youtube as well?
