I guess tiripano chips away with wickets for mountaineers and also has some good batting scores. Might be reason enough not to displace him at test level. When was jongwes last century for example?
Are you actually the real Donald Tiripano :lol:

It is just heartwarming to see Shumba just continuing to score runs across formats, as per the demands of the format, across different levels of opposition quality.

Also, Wes getting to bat as low as 6 and Shumba as low as 5 in these sides is criminal. Specially the former. Chibhabha and Mutonbodzi who should never have a look in at the international arena again, are hogging spots that could be better used to develop Wes. Chari to a lesser extent with Shumba.

Makoni has had an impressive start to the season!

If they hadn't moved PJ that Tuskers middle order (Chari,Ervine,Williams,Shumba) would have been too strong for the Rhinos,Rocks and Mountaineers. We need more balance in the sides. I wonder if Blessing really is with the Eagles.

Shumba goes for 90. Unlucky not to get a century.

Wes still batting. Hope he gets another good score. Will do him power of good

I think the obvious one for the mountaineers is that Tiripano should be batting up the order. He offers stability in the batting lineup, so put him at 3 or 4. Takes a lot of pressure of the batsmen.

It’s a misconception that bowlers or allrounders should bat lower down the order when it doesn’t make sense. If your best batsmen is a bowler then stick him up the order!
