Northerns Vs Southerns (Sri Lanka Pre-Camp)

Great to see Ngarava among the wicket takers, bodes well for his budding partnership with Blessing at ntl level

In comes Maruma to score a century and get himself on that plane to Sri Lanka

So who opens with Chakhabva in Sri Lanka?

Ngarava bowling well. I don't see any reason to change the muzarabani/ngarava combination just yet.

I'm pretty certain it will be Kaitano. Unless Kasuza or Kaia produce something incredible in the next two matches.

Oh for sure. Ngarava is great. He's got as much potential as Blessing tbh. I feel like he's still improving and has more room to get even better.

Based on today’s game I’d go Kaitano, looked really good until he got out.

Kasuza struggled to get going and his frustration got him out. Kaia is just Kaia

Other options include Madhevere, Marumani and shumba. They are all suited to middle order and Shumba is a great finisher.

Marumani still looks like a walking wicket, throwing his bat at everything, no idea how he hasn’t got out yet.

Knowing Zimbabwe he will still make the squad, they will take at least 18 possibly 20 out the 30 on show this series.

Don't think so - we probably can't afford extended squads like some nations. It will probably only be 15 I think

Burl is taking no prisoners, he’s got smoke for everyone. Hope he takes this form and attitude with him to Sri Lanka

I was disappointed with Madande’s glovework today.

His positioning was wrong to Ngrava, was far to wide and it meant he struggled getting to a couple down leg side, which cost his side. A few runs.

He did sort it later on but didn’t seem too confident with the gloves.

I’m hoping it is just nerves as I’m really excited about his future.

Can’t say anything about his batting, got out to an absolute jaffer from Tiripano.
