Ya guys don’t rate him though. Want Jono bloody Campbell or some jazz.
I saw Manyonga play for Rangers often in his first season and I was very impressed with his temperament then, often coming good with mature batting when his side was in trouble. I will be surprised if he doesn't do at least reasonably well in international cricket.

His temperament is bang on. Can’t develop that in the same way you can text book forward defences or whatever codswallop. Either you have temperament or you don’t and tone dawg is the man. ZC would do well to persist with him.

Munyonga has been impressive lately, getting quite a few high scores
Let's not get too excited look up his last 5 international cricket games..
He is another failure like Kaia and Marumani
Zc should arrange Zimbabwe A squad to tour South Africa, Namibia or Pakistan etc at least 2 or 3 tours a year..,

Marumani has had international opportunities and not done well, but there's no disputing his ability. He's played some unbelievable innings of late. Granted its been against an old ball, but he can play!
There's no doubt in my mind that given the right coaching or opportunities that he could succeed internationally.

And he's just turned 22... To say he's a "failure" at this stage would be ridiculous.

I suspect Marumanis issue is he is a flat track bully that is great at annhiliating pedestrian attacks, but is incapable of handling bowlers that do a bit of this and a bit of that.

But I’m not the expert
