That's a big call, leaving him out
If u want to get the development coach spot at Muzarabani then this is a good way

That Makoni kid does not know how to bat, not foot-work, just the whole batting stance is awfully wrong. Is he in the team for his batting? Chirwa who bowls is light year ahead of Makoni.

Lol he’s in the team because of his father/uncle!!!
Tbf he has a good record in school cricket apparently.
Looks completely out of sorts in this tournament though. Needs to sit out the next game

Givemore Makoni son???

Yeah. Well I thought he was his nephew, but look at a photo and they are identical! So maybe his son after all. Definitely related either way.

Can’t see Mataranyika running many quick singles

Mid to high 80's absolutely. They have such strong wrists

Interesting. There is no shortage of quicks in Pakistan. They have at least a dozen 90 mph bowlers throughout the country. Now all of them may not be good bowlers, but they are certainly quick.

Shaheen Afridi, Muhammed Hasnain, Naseem Shah, Muhammed Musa Khan, Muhammed Zeeshan...they just have a factory of fast bowlers don't they

Big lad isn't he. Reminds me a little bit of Rakheem Cornwall. Looks to be a very handy spinner but bowled far too short today

Balance a hot dog on the wicket at the far end and there will be a burn mark down the deck.
Hes actually a handy bowler, I like him. Apparently a really nice guy as well.
Let's see how he does right now before we decide. If I see a guy not wanting to be there against pace I lose interest.

Theres an endless line of really quick seamers in this side, it's unbelievable.

Bennet looks great.

We’ve got a lot to work with with this squad.

[Googly]

Bennet really playing well. The other lot will be kicking themselves for giving it away. This deck is a belter

[secretzimbo]

Imagine if we had any kind of pathway, any national youth setup, proper competitive schools and age group cricket, and proper preparation tours? We’d be competing with everyone.

If you tell people we picked this side from about 50 players they'll spit on you.
