Opening post

I'll link back to this discussion viewtopic.php?p=111726#p111726

My team is:

Burl

Chakabva(c)

Chari

Kasuza

Musakanda

Mutumbami(wk)

Mutombodzi(vc)

Jongwe

Mashinge

Wellington

Mumba

RESERVES: Innocent Kaia, Ngarava, Mavuta

I still believe Blessing Muzarabani will struggle in Tests. It's never easy for tall fast seamers. Just ask Marchant de Lange. Have to be very skilled to avoid being a one trick pony that batsmen will bully. Morne Morkel has spent the bulk of his career by the edge of the door for the Proteas. He wouldn't get picked ahead of Rabada, Philander, Steyn and Ngidi. Unless Muzarabani receives extensive coaching he will be a liability.

Mutumbami will be approaching 33, and alongside Chakabva they will be the seniors of the side. Plenty has been invested in Mutombodzi leading Eagles and the A/XI sides. Likewise with Chakabva. I guess one of them will be the captain.

You forget that the batting order is determined not by capability but by seniority (and colour) in hhm's world.

Oh thats right I forgot

How can a man who doesn't watch cricket or have any idea about cricket use any cricketing logic to pick a side 😂

Where is vusi and Elton? 5 years from now they will only be in their late 30s. Will the Jongwes and Kasuzas be able to replace Vusi and Eltons 20 averages?
