Kundai Matigimu
Re: The Lost Talent Blues
There are way more.
Trawl through the last twenty years of under 19 teams for a good list.
Dusty Melton is an often overlooked one, as is Adam Rouse. Both in county. The latter instantly solves our keeping issues.
Does Scotland still have that Zimbabwean captain?

Re: The Lost Talent Blues
Also remember Adam Keefe (is he still playing cricket?) and Jeremy Ives (who is surely still playing from what we read here recently?)

Re: The Lost Talent Blues
It's very unfortunate that Zim econmic condition is losing so many talented cricketers.
Golden days of 90s when HSC pitch was well maintened by some very wise cricketing fraternity.
The work done by in flower era to include black population has also been undone by this corrupt board. Many academies have been vanished.
Things may vwould never be same as a very plessent feeling of cricket in Zim has been lost due to this shit politics.
What I can see Namibia resembling that time of Zim. I am sure they would do very well in t 20 wc and thereafter.

Re: The Lost Talent Blues
There's too many to remember, simple as that.
Jordan Nicholl was fast and so was Campbell Macmillan, two blokes who could have made a difference in the side in 2005/06.
Shaun Snyder was a beefy guy and scored a couple of strong 50's in his Under 19 CWC campaign. Dylan Higgins, Callum Price could have been a steady FC player, Roland Benade was decent, Tugweti in the recent world cup looked promising....
There are so so so many blokes who could be named.

I've heard Andre Hoffman was a ready made test opener in the early 2000's but couldn't get a look in.
