Will be hoping the earlier version of Ngidi turns up to Zim because the later one will be running circles all over Zim

At the moment Bennett is Raza 0.5...one shot pony. If Bavuma packs the offside with a couple slips, gully, point, cover point, cover and the bowlers bowl back of a length on the 6th stump line, you can keep Bennett quieter than Elon Musk's tweets against Trump.

Is this a good advert for the game or not? :lol:

If we’d been bowled out for 212, 138 or collapsed to 73/7 at Trent bridge guys would be saying we should never play test cricket again :lol:
This game will be done and dusted in 3 days.

That’s racialist, you won’t hear Bennett crying about it though.

*Madhevere is a top player - Chief Selector*

By Senior Sports Reporter

Harare_-A Senior selector at Zimbabwe Cricket has responded to critiques who were calling for Wessly Madhevere's axing because of continuos poor form saying Wessly Madhevere isn't going anywhere in all three formats.The selector speaking on condition of anonymity emphasized that Zimbabwe is looking at the future and will build their team around Madhevere,who has failed to live up to his billing since he his lightning start to his cricket career.The other question the selector was responding to was on Madhevere's selection ahead of Nick Welch who had played in England before and had score a half ton in Bangladesh,the selector said clearly Madhevere was ahead of Welch leading up to the England test even though stats pointed to Welch having scored more runs in Bangladesh than Madhevere.The selector added that Madhevere will remain a critical member of the t20, ODI and Test team,as he has delivered critical match winning innings in the last 3 or 4years,in his words he said Wessly is an unsung hero in the same bracket as the Williams of this world but people just find a reason to not appreciate the talented young star who is among the world's stars to watch out for in the near future alongside Indian hotshot Shubman Gill,Kiwi Rachin Ravindra, Englishman Harry Brook and the High flying West Indian Kaecy Carry,The Generational Talent as Wessly is known in the cricket circles continues to wow the crowds with his strokeplay that has seen him become a darling in England,Bangladesh, Australia and Pakistan.He has been of help to upcoming youngsters like Brian Bennett using his 100 plus match experience to offer advice and impart skills to fast rising Bennett .In one of the Instagram posts Bennett appreciated his hero Wessly Madhevere after the win in Bangladesh.The selector also said he is looking forward to Maphaka against Nyamhuri battle in Bulawayo which he dubbed the battle of Limpopo teen superstars who will carry their nations hopes in the coming years,he said they are the next Rabadas,Streaks post 2027.Responding to a question on X from one of the fans he said people were upset about what they perceived as a continuous Evans snub,he said clearly the guys selected right now are ahead of Evans that's why the selection picked them for the Trent bridge test which turned up to be a bowling horror show for the local pace attack save for Muzarabani who redeemed himself with 3 wickets later on after massive slaughter on day 1 at the hands of the English.Selection has been the talking point overshadowing the on field performances of every series Zimbabwe go into .As The selection controversies continue to unravel, Zimbabwe cricket fans can only dream of a day when the team is selected without fear ,favor,race or connections.As ZC continue to delay the squad announcement for SA tour ,cricket fans have gotten used to surprising selections,an area ZC selection comiteee has not disappointed to date._- *The Bild Xtra*

Exactly how I would line up with Tsiga ahead of Madande. Wes and Nick aren't competing for the same spot. Campbell is probably Wes' direct competition in this format for next few months.

The "surprise" will probably be Tanu for Kaitano. Which I don't think is extremely controversial
