Cremer being dropped was a strange one but I think I saw a stat during the game which showed that India had only lost 1 wicket to a leg spinner the whole tournament. Maphosa had a nightmare in the end.
Still a lot to learn. These are the kind of games that need to be played to improve. I think most of these guys will be available for selection for the next world cup besides BT and Cremer. Raza has another one in him. It gives me some hope. Gone are the days when we used to be so worried what would happen wihout the big 3.

Heard from reliable sources that David Bennett is as good as Brian if not better and he is still in the country. So is there any chances of him following the footsteps of his brother?

He wasn’t as good as Brian. He was a decent player though.
He went to uni overseas and isn’t pursuing professional cricket.

Whether he should be selected or not is a fair question. It’s not fair to make out he’s been dropping everything though.
Him dropping three or four catches across a couple of games isn’t the reason we’ve conceded 510 runs in those couple of games. That 254 vs WI and 256 vs India are like moderately competitive ODI scores on a tricky deck.
His drop against West Indies cost us 74 runs. Against India it cost us 12 runs. To say he the reason we conceded 510 is not what we are saying. But rather, if you are going to be selected because everyone lauds your fielding, you should not be dropping catches that regularly.
Too many excuses for a selected batter who has played 40 plus International games with an average of 16.
These are not standards and its no wonder other teams are overtaking us all the time.
You Sir are correct..
Last game should be
Bennet
Marumani
Curran
Myers
Raza
MADANDE
Munyonga
Evans
Welly
Ngarava
Blessing

You would think David Bennett could easily walk into the Rangers team considering their younger brother plays for them. Even if he's only interested in playing socially, it would be interesting to see where hes at considering hes 22
