Back to the domestic grind for nick welch. Maybe a blessing in disguise for him.

How did Raza become so much better than everybody else? Maybe Williams would be better if he played and trained more but as it stands Raza is well clear. I honestly never saw it coming. If he continues like this until 2027 he will pass BT. Nobody would have predicted that 5 years ago. He just needs a big world cup performance in 2027 and he is above the rest in limited overs
Averaging 50 agaisjt the UAE and Ireland won’t ever have him in Bt bracket

I predict Faraz is going to be a mainstay in the Zimbabwean team. He’s coming good and I’d be surprised if he isn’t playing either this Sri Lanka series or the Bangladesh series.

Seam attack is looking good for a change with Blessing, Ngarava, Evans etc. Shame about everything else (batting, spinners, keeping ).
I explained already on page 13 what’s up with him and why he’s selected. I didn’t make it up.

Where are the scorecards for these games?

Disagree, Raza has had success in leagues like PSL and IPL. Also ODI hundreds against India, Bangladesh (who have improved loads in the last few years) and got MOTM against Pakistan in T20WC

I also disagree on Raza.

If he replicates what he’s done for the past two years for another 2-3 years he will be considered our GOAT when he retires.

Impressive batting from Jongwe. Not quite enough in the end but a good effort.

Kamunhukamwe must be given a longer rope at the national side. He is looking good and can hit the ball hard. Madande and Gumbie both are now certainties in the ODI set up.

N Welch cannot be in the side after such a string of poor scores. May be his younger brother will get in before him.

Not many options for SL series, I guess we will have the usual players minus Wes and Mavuta which makes the team even weaker 🤦‍♂️ very hard to understand where the next set of big players are coming from.

Where's Gwandu?

The guy has an amazing NPL50 and an amazing Pro50, so they pick him for the...wait for it..... T20 national side?
Then he subsequently doesn't even get a game in the regional Pro50? What?

There's is no end to the bizarreness of our cricket.
