Emerging talent

Post by brmtaylor.com admin »

Who are the best teenage fast bowlers? Who are the best teenage batsmen?

There will be a changing of the guard soon. Who can step up and be a part of the team nucleus for the next 15-20 years as Williams, Ervine and those before them were?

Been discussed recently.

Madhevere/Shumba/Marumani/Madande/Myers/Bennett/Welch Jr are the immediate future with the bat over the next 3 years. They are all very talented but for whatever reason (well, the usual reasons) those that have been involved already haven't really been able to step up yet.

Below that the next U19's has a few bats who have looked good on two recent tours to India, playing against some good (and older) sides. The challenge as always will be retaining them and then hoping they fluorish in a improving but still poor system we have here.

Bowlers there really isn't much coming through which is a worry although Muzarabani/Ngarava/Evans/Jongwe are all still a decent age and should be coming into their peaks soon.

I'd put money on Mashford Shungu, left-arm quick, playing for Zimbabwe within maybe 3 years or so. He'd be my tip, I really like him.

Surely falao will come good. I`m sure some good young quicks will come through. Batters is the worry. Blessing and ngarava should be good for another decade imo if chatara is still going.

He's really good. Hopefully he stays in the country. His Dad is an interesting one.
