You are pretty good with your stats and milestones! And this is indeed a commendable achievement for a Zimbabwean. One of the safer hands.

Good to see the Mid West Rhinos, my team, submitting to the forum. I just want to ask you guys if you are considering picking up some of our recent U19 World Cup Players such as Murray and Ngarava. It would be great to see some of these talented youngsters playing for the team

Anyone can point out what we don't have, but point out A solid solution, that's the trick.

There's no way aliseni is that quick, BUT, it seems clear he is at least the fastest. He should be invested in hardcore as he has some more raw metals in him it seems. That's one from me.
Good point, there is no contemporary of pace.

Can you bowl 130k plus?

Are you at least 19 years old?

Are you willing to serve you country ?

If you answered yes then you need to come and speak to our coaching staff

They should remove all the discrimination around picking players at low level and engage any one who can bowl 130 plus
Ngarava, Matigmu & Mashinge are all over 130 speeds.
Richard Ngarava with his left arm pace looked good in the U/19 WC. He is someone who definitely should have been called up from Eng & should have been handed FC debut in the A games to see how he goes.

It's good to see WI calling up & investing on the former U/19 quick Alzarri Joseph.

The speed gun in this match puts the supposed speeds from the training camp into perspective: Tiripano was reported to be 130-135 kph IIRC, when in reality in a match situation he's bowling 122-128 kph. Chinouya is struggling to hit 120 kph, which is embarrasing for an opening bowler at Test level. Even if we allow for the difference in conditions between Harare and Bulawayo, we can probably substract 5 kph from those numbers. It would still mean Aliseni is bowling high 130s.

That's done the trick :W: 121 kph and a hint of movement enough for Sodhi.
