Ireland Shenanigans

Post by Pat_Bee »

Can’t stay in this World Cup stupor yo, we knew it was a bust after the Uganda game if we’re all honest.

Tino reckons Wes and Tadiwanashe should be opening, I’m not convinced. Raz Dawg should keep himself opening in the t20’s at least. He was also saying Munyonga should be in the side, fair one on current form. He’d also pick Chivanga, I know guys here rate him. Sprays it but can crank it right up when he’s in his groove, have to agree with Tino on that shout.

Wes needs a break, hiding him down the order shows how little confidence either the selectors or himself have in his playing at the moment.

Larry deffo needs to go. Been a great servant but his time is done. Learnt nothing and offers nothing Jongwe doesn’t. Him and resting Wes are the only wholesale changes I’d make.

The rest of the boys need to put this behind them and move on. Got to be targeting series wins against Ireland surely.

There are some easy selections to make

Chivanga for chatara

Mavuta for Wellington

Munyonga for madhevere

I'm uncertain on keeper for 20/20

Oh yeah, Tino said Mavuta, forgot that. He’s a better bowler definitely, but on the naughty step with ZC at the moment one may feel.

Shumba and Munyonga are the form guys in the 50 over stuff.

Things are so bad I might even have to join the Naqvi fan club.

One thing I should give it to you is how consistently you have called raza ' raz dawg' never missed a chance . Always makes me chuckle

Well he deserves a nickname yo. He copped some stick from me last week but he’s a diamond geezer really.

It is good that there is another series immediately. Then Sri Lanka not too long after. Can help you move on quickly.

Chivanga is probably going to be in for Chatara but I have to caution people that at a certain level pace can be used against you. Munyonga and Shumba and Gumbie for the ODIs would be good. Mavuta to compete with Wellington.

I think maybe K-Long should get another opportunity. In a weird way I think he is a better version of Marumani for now. A surprise pick could be Bennett. It all depends on whether they decide to make some changes or not.

If Williams and Ervine are still in the picture I actually want Raza to open. It's something different and so far it has been effective. We can't keep doing the same thing and expecting different results

Welch is the interesting one. Talented of course but hasn't made his mark yet. He hasn't shown he is significantly better than the rest. If he struggles again in the next 2 series he might join Ben Curran on the sidelines

I'd fancy munyonga in all honesty. Never got an extended run of chances as compared to wes, milton and marumani to some degree. Plays fearless cricket whenever I've seen him play. Was crucial in that Australia win as well.
