Maybe Googly is right, Zimbabwean kids are only as strong as their opposition.
A star whos dominating the school scene, may be up against bowlers who wouldnt cut it elsewhere, so they havent truly been tested, and dont know how to handle the extra notch.

They good thing is that they having game it...
Looking forward maybe playing Jayden, Murray & The greater bowler for Zimbabwe in tournament won't be a bad idea against Sri Lanka A at the end of the month

I don't know why you keep thinking these guys will cope at international level. Put them in the nets against some franchise bowlers if you don't believe me. Murray will be ok and I'd like to see him keep, but at franchise level first. He doesn't even turn out for club cricket so I question his motivation.

definitely must have been a tough experience. there is still a lot of time to get things right and I think they needed a wake up call to remember that they still have a lot to work on and that they are nowhere near first class level yet. yes the potential is there but for me you have to go through the system starting from club level before we can start dreaming about the national team because our schools cricket system is not a world class system like other countries.

credit to ZC for giving these kids so many games. I'm sure we all can't wait to see them playing against the big boys if they ever manage to get the season going.
