Opening post · Edited

T20 series is on the line.

Musekiwa, Madande and Myers should step aside. They don't quite meet the standard required to be successful in international T20 cricket. I hope they put in the hard yards in domestic cricket and come back stronger.

What should happen to these 3 gentlemen? Vote in the Match Centre poll.

God I hope we aren't stuck with Myers, Madande, Musekiwa, Marumani, and Shumba for much longer. It is putting all the pressure on Bennett, Raza, Burl, and Evans to score 150 runs between them.

The hard thing is, we need batters to come from outside the squad.

Curran is the only batter who hasn’t played yet.

Yes. Masakadza, Nyamhuri, Curran and Maposa are the only available options from the squad.

If common sense holds sway:
- Curran should come in for Myers at 3,
- Maposa in for Madande,
- I don't really care who replaces Musekiwa, anybody will do. Hell, leaving the position vacant might be better.
- I don't know much about Wes the T20 batter, but he should be playing ahead of Shumba. Besides, Wes is not in the squad.
- Marumani can stick around for a bit. Every now and then he gives you a scratchy 20 which can be helpful sometimes.

It seems Raza values loyalty more than setting high standards and winning games. For that reason, I wouldn't be surprised if he fielded the same XI from the previous game.

Comeon, why are we sh*tting on Maru already? For a batter of his mould you'd expect failures every now and then. I still haven't forgotten the world cup, it was thanks to him throwing the Aussie and SL bowlers off their lines that Bennett could get his eye in.

Maru had a great World Cup. He complimented Bennett really well I thought.

I know it’s only NPL but Kaitano has been smoking them every game his played.

Myers still looking scratchy in between some great shots.

Interesting to see what squad we have for India.

Myers is good at nudging and nurdling, but doesn't have the ability to clear the boundary consistently.

Raza the batsman hasn't showed up for a while. Another low score.

Evans flops after promotion. Let's see how Madande goes
