Opening post

Bawa looked really good against South africa same as Navqi. Madhevere is down in pecking order now I think. Especially with myers coming back and doing ok

No chance. I would bet a lot of money that Madhevere is in the squad for the Pakistan series and probably plays at least a couple of games.

Would be a shame with more deserving players..

Makoni gets 50. That might get a few twitter users off his back temporarily 🤣🤣

Makoni returns to the side in place of Hamid. Insert puke emojii.


I think I already said this a week or two back to you on this same thread, but Makoni isn’t that terrible. Yes he should never have made that Test debut - that was a horrid selection.

But….I mean he’s not horrendous. Organised enough technique. Still young. Nice cover drive. Will never be a world beater and probably never good international quality, but there are worse players around.

Makoni still there. May br a little becalmed by collapse going on around him.

Madhevre looks awful. Myers out for a rare low score


Makoni is not the worst option in this format. He is ok

Bennett goes for a bright and breezy 33

Wes should be nowhere near the Zim side at the moment, his defensive technique looks shot. Kaitano, Frost, Naqvi, Welch and Bawa all have far better techniques.


I’m beginning to feel like he just isn’t good enough.It’s rare to see him play a comfortable innings. You always feel like he hasn’t completely settled. Not the kind of guy to score multiple centuries so what is his exact role in the team? It’s only going to get worse with other kids coming in. He won’t be able to use the youth tag much longer

Agree, never feel that he could grind out a century, or bat more than 100 balls in an innings.

It's the NPL 20/20 next week. Let's see who shines so we can consider them potentially for the African qualifiers.

Madande ain't hanging around. Fast and breezy innings in the vein of bennett

Good that madande and Bennett play that way. Very swashbuckling and they probably see these sides as beneath them.

Or it shows that they don't put a price on their wicket.

Well you can prod and poke like madhevere did but it didn't get him very far today

Oh look, Madande gives it away caught long on. Should have grinded out a century.
