Zimbabweans In Franchise League
Re: Zimbabweans in franchise league
Could still get picked by a miracle but I saw the pressure Raza was under this year. They didn't even trust him and he would sometimes come in at number 8. The standard is high.

Exactly . With no high quality televised games to show it has really affected their chances . You won't believe the kind of publicity Netherlands boys got after the worldcup .almost everyone now is aware of Scott Edwards (and loves him) . They should first target other T20 gigs like psl or BBL would be massive . IPL will come eventually . They are still pretty youngTapsC2 wrote: ↑Tue Dec 19, 2023 2:37 pmUnfortunately thats why national team performances matter. Had they gone to India for the ODI World Cup and Ngarava performed the way he was performing he would have had a chance. Some of these failures are detrimental to their own careers.
Raza got picked when we were doing well. We had knocked over Pakistan and Australia and Bangladesh. Raza scored a century against a weakened India. Those are the things that get you noticed. Raza was also doing well in the other T20 leagues.
It's a long journey to the IPL for players like ours.

Let's face it... They didn't have a realistic chance.
However... given that in the new year there is BBL, ILT20, SA20, BPL and PSL in very quick succession with a lot of overlaps, there may well be quite a lot of opportunities for a few unlikely overseas players.

Ngarava did really well in his first BPL game. 1 wicket but very economical in a fairly high scoring game.
Burl was on the bench tho.

Another 48 off 23 from Raza today after his MOTM performance 2 days ago. And people still think he isn't world class?

Re: Zimbabweans in franchise league
The guys got one shot, the hook/pull/hoick to mid wicket and that too versus balls traveling at under 130 kph. If he can do that against Starc or Bumrah or Lockie consistently, I’ll be impressed.secretzimbo wrote: ↑Mon Jan 22, 2024 6:21 pmAnother 48 off 23 from Raza today after his MOTM performance 2 days ago.

That being said I was surprised to see him average 35 against the top 10 sides in ODIs the past 9 years. I expected him to be in the late 20s. But he’s right up there just behind Williams. So credit there for sure.
