2022 U19 World Cup Thread

That covid/flu outbreak I think is their senior side? Sorry.

I see there's a Samuel Ruwisi who is non traveling reserve for the SA squad.
That's a Shona name I'm sure? Rings a bell, I'm sure there was a Ruwisi in the mix here at some point.

He played for Zim u13s in 2014 I think. Definitely Zimbabwean

[secretzimbo]

He was a reserve in our last U19 WC squad wasn't he? Schooled in SA I think.

Ya man, that's where I remember him! Another one runs away. Damn!!

Got injured before the last world cup. He switched allegiance real quick

This is what needs to change if we have even the remotest chance of improving our cricket.
Surely they should have gotten hold of this guy a year ago and said he was in the team??
Zc don't give a fuck, but he's good enuf for SA?
And they're flying non traveling reserves around that nobody has ever seen? If he makes that SA side then he's just plain good!! No accountability for letting this guy slip through the net.

I think he was a leftie as well, if I recall.

Maybe there is a plausible explanation like his family and him moved to SA.
This is babwe we are talking about though so he could have just switched alligiences at first chance he got

I'm prepared to bet Matigimu and Ruwisi would be the two quickest bowlers in Zim if they were here. We'd suddenly have some depth to choose from. It's so unnecessary and annoying for us fans to watch this ad nauseum.

[Donald]

Matigimu should be low hanging fruit if Zimbabwe engage him and make him an offer, dangle a few carrots.

Steve mangongo said in 2020 matigimu should be opening the bowling for zim.
Sure if their is dialogue and communication the hope is always there
