Matsi not a T20 player? :shock:

Who are you trying to con?

In T20&Twenty20, Chigumbura has been Zimbabwe's most aggressive batsmen, Hami the most successful. But over the years, we've seen that Matsi is pretty much the only batsman who could annihilate any attack in Zimbabwe, in any format at well over a run a ball.

It's apity there are no List A & FC Strike Rates, but those who followed the scorecards over the years, which would be a lot of ZCF veterans, would back this up.

6 innings four years ago is a rather small sample size to proclaim Matsi a T20 expert.

Bavuma and Rabada loves stats, right ?

Here's one for them.

Stuart Matsikenyeri played 10 T20Is, batted in all 10 T20Is, averaged a mammoth 7.60 with a staggering strike rate of 92.68.

Bavuma and Rabada seem to have confused each other on this occasion ....

Yeah but mate, they're his scores - not boundaries.

I mentioned a lot of players and it's based on a lot things. He's played the bulk of his career as a tailender/low order batsman and his boundary count is very high for such a player (FC&List A). Comparable to Zimbabwe's regular international batsmen. Those are signs someone can hit along ball. Something to work with.
