Williams and Raza gave away too many. Decent economy rate for Chamu. He needs to bowl more if he wants to cement a place in the team, don't know how he hasn't picked that up yet.
Haven't you noticed that Hami and Chamu aren't bowled more by the captains? It's not their fault. Under captains Taylor and Cremer, Chamu is barely picked, and barely bowled. He was both picked, and bowled more under Elton and Utseya. He doesn;t even have a single wicket under Taylor, and just 2 under Cremer. Even Tristan on this very forum complained why Chamu isn't bowled more. I complained why Hami wasn't bowled more. Chamu bowled in exactly 9 matches under both Taylor and Hami, but at least has 5 wicket under Hami.

For the Associates, just prepare a greentop and unleash Panyangara. It'll be carnage. :D

Raza and Williams are hopeless as bowlers. One wonder what Chisoro and Wellington would have done and how much they would have improved with all those overs those two are getting.

I think you'll find there's furious agreement that "Golden Arm" Masakadza doesn't get thrown the ball enough.

Except there isn't equal fury at the prospect of a player opening the batting then also thoroughly outbowling the "all-rounders"

Elgar runs Markram out on the cusp of a ton on debut. Elgar "makes up for it" by getting himself out on 199! :lol:

Ok, so that was pretty emphatic - total chased down in 26 overs for the loss of one wicket.
Peterhouse U14C 4th change bowler and no. 10 batsman (but only because Aaron didn't have a bat).

Hamilton might find himself in the middle order again, if Chibhabha can find some form again.

Mire
Chibhabha
Taylor
Ervine
Hamilton

That looks like a strong top 5. :)

6. Williams
7. Moor (wk)
8. Cremer (c)
9. Chisoro
10. Jarvis
11.Chatara

Can we really leave out raza on his form, and Waller?
musakanda has to be around the squad too some way

The chisoro love people show is dumb. Raza is -/- as good a bowler as chisoro and Twenty times as good a bat!

Not sure why we want to mess with Hamilton so much. He has a good record opening in ODIs and an MoS in the most recent assignment, and we are pushing him to middle order. He has a good record at no. 3 in tests and we want to push him to open there...
