2 hours and 17 minutes of ZCF harmony ended just like that. :(

A lot of the players are either hated (most of the whites) or loved (Vusi, Elton, Utseya) by only one particular member - HHM. That shouldn't count since HHM is such an outlier. I doubt whether he actually understands the game beyond the very basics given all his inane statistical theories.

I've been a Hammy naysayer until 24 hours ago. He's been remarkably solid since the SL tour and I've been remiss: he's a quite decent batter. There I've said it :D

I'm actually not a huge Chatara fan. But he is the best white ball seamer ZIM have and either their 2nd or 3rd best Test seamer (Jarvis clearly first, Mumba perhaps ahead of Chatty). But I don't dislike Chatara.

Generally speaking I find cricketers who are overweight or don't look at all like a professional athlete to be very annoying. Hence my feelings towards Panyangara and Elton (who isn't fat, but also has no muscle definition).

Mumba is out for 6-9 months. You can forget about him for a while. Bring back Vitori

That is a blow, I knew Mumba was injured but didn't realise how serious it was. Luckily he is still young enough to make it back but this is still somewhat worrying.

As for Vitori, he needs to prove he had his bowling action sorted out before even being considered, hope he can manage that.

Mumba had a decent innings when SL were trying to set a total(just like Jarvis vs NZ), but otherwise he was way below the standard requried in Test cricket.

I like him and have him down as one for the future but ZIM needs to forget about him and Vitori and focus on Shingi, Panyangara and Chatara.

Ya I think he’s pretty good as well. With our small pool we must give him ample opportunity. Talent-wise he’s superb.
