Why didn't Prosper Utseya reinvent himself as a batsman?

[brmtaylor.com admin]

Instead of trying to become a slow-medium bowler, why didn't he reinvent himself as a batsman?

As an example, at international level Utseya-the-bowler was a much better batsman than Maruma-the-batsman. So had Utseya tried to make the transition he would already be at a better starting point than Maruma-the-bowler was. And if Maruma was able to end up being a reasonable-ish domestic FC batsman (5 centuries @ 29.00), then Utseya certainly could have been too.

His batting was handy but don't think he can reinvent himself as a batsman, the James Franklin way.

His medium pace isn't going to work, it's as simple as that. What he can do is to try to revert to bowling offies somehow and that too legally.

He is best in blaming others for Racism, making them to get fired from their post and also collecting fake coaching degrees.

One of the evils, who have played the game.


Had talent, but wasted in doing other activities.

Tendai Chisoro can break his record, much better then Utseya. He just needs to bat at the top in domestic cricket, to bring out his allround skills.

There's a lot to like about Chisoro, I agree.

Chisoro is the future.

Why would he bother. It was made clear that Utseya had no future in the national side regardless of his abilities with bat or ball, a true victim of the politicization of ZC. Streak was probably already throwing his weight around from afar by that point. Sad to now see the same happening to Chigumbura.

Why sad? Utseya and Chigumbura are both mediocre cricketers. If they were in any other country they'd barely make a first class squad.

You loose all credibility when you put rubbish like this out on the forum

I can assure you they would not make a first class squad in any of the major countries
