Intrestingly Atish Chouhan is from the Vic Falls, are we seeing an increase in popularity of cricket in that region

who are the guys to look out for in that list ? I know how exciting Kevin Kazuza is, but is there any other lads there that will be potential national team players

Ryan Burl did pretty well in their recent tour of SA. I haven't seen a lot of him, but, I here from my fellow mates he's pretty dangerous once he gets going.

And there is Luke Jongwe. Top order bat who bowls a bit of some medium pace. I can say I know him in and out as I have seen him in the Churchill nets a lot. He has a solid technique, but he might be found wanting on square turners and green bouncy wickets.
I can say the same for Shaun Handirisi. He hasn't learnt the skill of pacing an innings and he tends to get out playing too many strokes. He's still 16/17 and he gar all the time in the world to learn and when he finally does, he can be our very own Gilchrist.

Another U19 match against SA, another top-order collaps ... :( Kasuza gone cheaply, and as yet only James Bruce into double figures with 28. But Ryan Burl is still there, 83-6 after 26 overs.

197-8 is a decent recovery. Well played, Ryan Burl, for his 57 after a cautious start, good support by Zimwa & Handirisi. But it seems there's again no stopping Quinton de Kock, who looks like a real prospect for the Saffers.

On a whole I find that the SA team is a lot more experienced, both in terms of age - the majority seem to be 19, while our youngester are all (?) younger - and playing at a higher level. I don't know much about the SA youth set-up, but they obviously play are fair amount of inter-provincial age-group cricket.

Burl looks a good prospect looking at the last few outings of his. A hope for the next generation, may be?
