The Kaia brothers continue to knock on the door for selection against a decent Mountineers attack. It will be difficult to continue to ignore them.

Roy should have converted this 50. He would have broken down the proverbial door. He is still at the forefront for selection in my view.

Problem is these runs are useless as they aren’t acquired at a level even close to measurable for international success.
Sikikar to how Maruma gets hundreds in this format and Craig gets 20s, but internationally that’s reversed as Craig is more adept to faster and spinnier balls.

We really need to have an A side going. Guys like Wes are definitely the future but throwing them in the deep end to sink or swim could do more harm than good. Roy has been around for a long time and should be given a chance to prove himself. I think he is no different from the like of Kasuza or Prince who have all really played plenty of FC cricket before getting their chance.

I had a good look at Roy kaia batting today in the video stream for southern Rocks latest match.
Thoughts are is that he seems an unhurried batsman who plays pretty close to his body which is a good sign for test cricket. he scored some good boundaries by driving nyauchi and also pulling and cutting Tiripano which also shows he has an array of shots.
Seemed to score pretty much in boundaries today which might not be reflective of his overall game as this is first time ive seen him bat.
Compact little player i think he should get his chance against pakistan for sure.

SharePlease do not judge anyone fast.
If Evans, Moor, Maruma, Kaia or anyone perform consistent in more then 10 odi or more then 5 test(10 innings) then only they deserve place in national team othewiae let them play more domestics and let them improve their stats.
Samething with bowler also as they need to be consistent in atleast 10 matches. They must have different bowling variations.
Remember and never forget, TRLENT will not work at international level but PRODUCT only works.
Pakistan have many telented playes same with Endlend also. But India and Australia have well finished products from domestic level.
Please reply whether you are agree or not??

Innocent Kaia has also been quietly scoring runs. Will watch them bat the second time to see if he has a better technique than our 2 openers
I hope they name a big squad because I got a feeling we will get spanked in the first game and there will be a few changes

What I like the most about Brad Evans is that he just came back and has been grinding it out waiting for his opportunity. No special treatment there unlike what others have demanded. Honestly if you are good enough it won’t even take a year for people to see that you are better than the rest. There is no need to throw a tantrum and ask to be selected without even playing domestically

Looking at his Facebook it looks like he just finished his Sports Degree and has come back to Zim,it’s worth mentioning that he has very strong Zimbabwean roots with most of his family either living in Zimbabwe or Cape town.
Hopefully he stays and plays for Zimbabwe.He will be a good replacement for Jarvis

Seen a bit of Odendaal, hit Tiripano for a big six, looks a powerful batter. Now with the ball he looks like a park cricketer in his run up but has a simple but whippey action and seems to surprise the batsman with his pace. Had 0-2 at one stage as the Goats lost their first three wickets for no runs.
Myers looked very unhappy with his dismissal, whilst Maruma looked really good again before retiring hurt, I missed a couple of overs so I’m not sure if I missed something, but I couldn’t see why he went off hurt.

What an awful lineup for the Goats. They seem to be dependent on Shingi saving their face every single time.
If I'm ZC, I'd throw a T20I cap to Odendaal in the Pak series. He seems to have that X factor.

I've faced Evans personally, he's about 82/83mph on a good day.
Odendaal is slippery about 80mph max but hits a long ball.

i still think we would be better off with 4 domestic sides and a stronger club scene with the overflow.
