I'm not sure how accurate this is but 17 T20 MOM
And 14 ODI MOM
Incredible.

Raza is overrated but he’s definitely in our top 6. Top 3 even.

It probably almost exactly mirrors how many games we've won since 2013. We pretty much only win when he has a blinder. In terms of a cricketing hero for a particular country in terms of actually contributing to wins its without equal.

Either of Stubbs or Bavuma, has an opportunity to post a massive personal best here. They've got days to bat.

Raza is an overrated player always has been.
If Raza is overrated what on Earth does that make the rest of our squad?
You don’t like him but he’s single handedly kept us afloat for the past few years.
Again, someone needs to find the stat of how many MOTM awards he’s won for us the past few years. Crazy.
He’s also done well and performed well in the various overseas leagues he’s been in, except for maybe his second IPL.
I actually don't dislike him...he's actually got a pretty decent record. But my point is you can't count his (or anyone elses) stat padding against Rwanda or Gambia or (most of the) qualifier nations. You can perhaps include stats against a Namibia or Netherlands since they've gone to World Cups and even won a game or two.

He didn't get picked up in the IPL. Of the member nations only Zim and Bangladesh haven't got a player there. If we didn't have to keep playing Mozambique, Burkina Faso and Sierra Leone we'd get some more exposure.

Shakib and Fizz have had long IPL careers. Litton Das was a one season wonder a couple of seasons ago.

Mufudza, Chivanga and Ervine being selected as the players to launch ZC's big new shirt sponsorship thing is an odd choice :?
Nice 300k payday for Mukuhlani and Makoni and co. That'll pay for a few big weekends in Vic Falls. 😂

And yet players are now being taxed on the pitiful match fees, travel allowances have been chopped and none of the first class players can survive. It's time for the senior players to speak out. It's unsustainable.
Same story, they'll pay a few spineless key guys to keep the herd pointed in the same direction.
They wouldn't even pay for a late selection to travel and he didn't have 20 bucks to make the journey. Shameless people.

He doesn't rate Faraz. He was clearly being diplomatic there but, reading between the lines, he didn't see value in his selection

Ya, I thought the same - Salmon clearly choosing his words carefully there on Faraz.

Gumbie didn't have a good series. We have to be honest. He also needs to work on his calls. He has been involved.in quite a few runouts. Not just this series.
Also being fair I don't think Faraz for Gwandu was a bad call either. The logic behind that decision given the options that were available, makes sense.

He does seem excited about the young guns. Perhaps he can guide them well. Odd we are aiming to be winning games by 2027 we need to be wining now.

Exciting day.
Potential to win a series.
Potential for the rain to come and draw a series
Potential to lose a series.
I am inclined to make a change
Maybe Maposa in for Gwandu
Mavuta out for Musekiwa --Really depends on the pitch.
How should play
Musekiwa or Faraz A on Sunday both are so called allrounder
The debate goes on..
