Marumani eating up the dot balls 😂

Not convinced by this at all.

Why do we always play the t20 powerplays in test gear 😂

Jonathan Campbell has looked good in this tournament.

Marumani making a right mess of it. They should have him sit it out a bit. Can't be continuing on this path.

Ya he needs chopping now!

The good old twitterati. See a couple of decent performances and would parachute the guy straight into the national side. Then when he gets pumped in his first game they want to drop him 😂

So these full t20i’s then or what?! Ever get to the bottom of that?

I see people are clamouring for Musekiwa to go straight into the national side on twitter. . That's dangerous. Boy has oodles of talent but needs to have many more matches and be more consistent. Eventually could be a major challenger to Jongwe and Evans. Blood him in the A side instead with one eye on 2026 20/20


Boy?????? He's a 31 year old man for goodness sakes, are you an England selector?

I think the only person who should be immediately elevated is Campbell because he has really put in the work. Years of work. Bennet and Madande are already in. I think Musekiwa should be preparing for the UK tour. It is definitely tempting but I think they will go with Jongwe and The returning Evans for the immediate future.

The issue is obviously who the backup keeper will be? I’m not sure Marumani should be getting free passes to tour with his current form but the only other option is Gumbie who I’m not sure about in T20s yet.

Looks like all the games have T20I status after all!

I'm calling bullshit on that one. He is about 23/24 despite cricinfo showing this
ZCF OriginalLegend
His age is irrelevant lol. Without exposure in an A or emerging side and dumped straight in the deep end it’s not going to end well for him.

Musekiwa is very ordinary as a bowler. Hits a long ball and is talented with the bat, but woefully inconsistent. It was a great innings but he's a way off doing that against good bowling. One good innings and everyone thinks he's the next Dohni.

What's he in the national side as? Evans and Jongwe are both better than him atm.

There's no room for Campbell unless he replaces Masakadza as a spinning all rounder. He's like for like with Masakadza or Burl. Is that going to happen? Campbell has made his runs in red ball. He's playing well and on the up, of that there's no doubt. All power to him.

There's just no way Bennett, Marumani, Munyonga, Mufudza, or Madande are better T20 batters than Welch, its a joke that hes sitting out, he's just had a terrible season, but he'll come good. They seem happy to hamstring a quality player, what's going on there?

That's the problem with these selectors, they'll f**k around with their favorites and politics and they're going to waste years. A favorite scoring 20 buys him a year, I get the feeling Mufudza is a Mangongo favorite. We're going to see him for years to come. Our selectors are never answerable, they're a problem. Everyone has an agenda.

I really liked the way Munyonga gave Musekiwa strike today

That wS responsible. Most of our guys would have just swung and not fed the in-form batter.

Googly do you mean Mupfudza? If not I’m confused as Mufudza has been ignored for years and has only recently made his way into the national side, only me and SZ consider him a favourite 😂
