I had heard Daniel Jakiel was being lined-up to succeed Robert Mugabe as President.

Jakiels saving a lot of time there shortening the word ‘am’ to just ‘m’ in his email.

I am surprised he neglected to mention that he is ZCFs favourite player, rating even higher than Mark Olonga.

Daniel Jakiel & Mark Olonga fastest bowling duo for Zimbabwe, needs to get selected in domestic games.

Where have you been? Jakiel is like Brett Lee and Virat Kohli rolled into one player.

How fast is Jakiel ? Can he hit yorkers ?
He might be as fast as Mark Olonga.

His slower ball is faster than his quicker ball.

155.6 is his fastest recorded time that I know of.
I have seen an over from him where 5/6 were 150+.
One was a Yorker at 155.1.
Scary. Very wayward though.

Jakiel plays for my club Rainbow and in my honest opinion this season he has bowled at his best as he has now added some ability and skill with the new ball where previously he was considered only a death bowler. He bowls around the 125 to 133 range and can go faster with the right training.He hAS added away swing to his game which has made him a serious threat. He is one of 3 bowlers i would still bet on to bowl at the death in Zimbabwe.

He is a really good death bowler and great to see him develop his previous weaknesses ! Gargamel, who would you rate as the best 5 batsmen and best 5 bowlers in the club scene there?

At the current momment my Best Batsman ...
... those this year that i have seen who are in Provoncial Setups
1. Tinashe Chimbambo
2. Mutombodzi
3. Maunze
Maunze has improved a lot over the seasons. Can you shed more light on him?
Chimbambo I don't know much about. Would be nice to hear more on him.
I think it was you who didn't seem to be too keen on Gupo. He's a mystery. His numbers in a way show mature ability but also a deficiency in scoring big consistently (just like Tino Mawoyo). A large part of that is definitely down to be wrongly and unfairly deployed high up the order, but if we remove that his average is in the high 20s, but still he could be more than that in my view. What's the story with him? I've seen - via Cricinfo commentary - even more competent batsmen collapse against the very top bowlers in the Logan Cup while he stood resolute - Regis, Elton, Raza, Chamu etc (that includes Moor himself in his frequent flops for Eagles).
Still a mystery how and why Mutombodzi was handled the way he was - both as a bowler and ignored as a batsman. Perhaps the same fate would have befallen Kasuza had he been picked some time back alongside Mutombodzi(and Mushangwe). But he really should have grown with the ZIM team.
I've said it before and I'll say it again - the way Wellington, Jongwe, Madziva and Chisoro have been sidelined despite impressing says a lot about the strong desire to maintain spots for what I term "reverse quotas". Just looking at the way Malcolm, Moor and Burl have been managed says a lot about the determination to not allow those numbers to drop. You can't compare the way they've been handled to those other four.
Chapungu is another who seems to have taken a step forward too this season.
Has Cricinfo perhaps mixed up Roy and Innocent Kaia in some of the games? Anyway, what happened to mark Mbofana?
