As you said, why have red ball when there are supposedly spots up for grabs? Quite simply because they picked the side a while ago and current form has got nothing to do with it after all. These muppets are capable of canceling everything and holding a 100 ball on a whim.

I do like them playing red ball cricket but there are no tests scheduled this year as far as I can tell after Bangladesh.

It would be much better if they played two 50 over and two T20 matches a week. Could have the T20s back to back on a Saturday and then the 50 over matches on a Friday and Sunday. Therefore it will allow players to work in the week.

Makes sense to focus on white ball cricket with the start of the ODI league and the T20 World Cup in 2021 being the top priority.

Richmond goes straight after 50.

cue ZIMDOGGY 😂

Now Kaia goes right on 50.

Agreed, there’s virtually no point in playing red ball. Zim plays how many tests a year? Just get into the white ball stuff, it’s cheaper as well. They can use some white enamel if they’ve only got red balls in stock. 😂

Or just play 50 over with red ball because then they can use whites and don’t have to buy uniforms. I’m just saving them money by the hour.

Seeing names like Cunningham Ncube, Thabo Mboyi, (recent form guy) Rememberence Nyathi, (once prodigy) Kudzai Sauramba regularly on the team sheets is really frustrating.

And hello! Muzarawetu is back too! The one who went downhill after bursting onto the scene with a great debut season...

So you see.

And now you have seen, you will continue to see.

Needs to change.

If he has a few more good days like that he’ll get a shot. Only in Zimbabwe. I haven’t seen him for a while, perhaps he’s a late bloomer. I’m not being facetious (is that the right word?), he has the pedigree. What will be interesting is what will happen to Makoni Jr next season.

Not that we need proof that this is a family business, but we’ll see it once again.

Yeah if Campbell gets within reach of National selection he will be there. If he gets a Century next game for instance he will be fast tracked.

That said, I have noticed that in Zimbabwe the white batsmen seem to be the ones that continue and develop. What is it?

Moor was horrible in his first season or two and became decent.

Ervine was not that great and was a fringe player from 2010 up until 2014.

Raza also went to internationals like a duck to water.

Why have our talented black guys all gone backwards? Imagine if Vusi, Stuey and Hammy built on their early capabilities. They would have been stars.

Gary cashes in with a ton

Burl needs to get fit, quickly. He’s a really talented player and we’re crying out for top order batters. The fact that Tari hasn’t kicked on the way he should have done is really sad to see.
