Nigeria u19

They are playing in kwekwe I think, against a ‘Rhinos U19’ team that includes players from other provinces and players that are over 19 😂 no public info or publicity though as usual!

players including mavuta, mumba, kaitano, remembrance nyathi etc. So it's not an u19 side

Yeah I heard Mavuta was playing. I think it was supposed to be a ‘U19 Select Side’ originally lol.

A rhinos team that strong should be s***ting all over Nigeria u19’s really. Are there any results or scores online for it?

Doesn't change the fact that they should be using u19 players. Or if there's a legitimate reason why they aren't it should be made public knowledge.

If they're fielding franchise cricketers and they're 1-1 to Nigeria u19 I'd suggest we are more jigged than I first thought.

Maybe Nigeria u19 are too strong for our u19's? 😂

Basically a Rhinos first eleven apart from the national guys and those who have just finished club cricket in the UK (Burl, Campbell, Prince and Musakanda) 😂 😂

1st OD won by 235 runs

2nd OD Lost by 15 runs

My word! A team with Kaitano, Mumba, Mayavo, Mavuta and Nyathi is losing to a Nigerian U19 team :o :o :o

Yikes, 89 from Mumba and they still lost

Ouch. That’s pretty embarrassing. Although as I said in another thread recebtly Rhinos squad is looking very weak - they need to do some recruiting.

Does this mean the u19 teams in Zim are better than the first class ones?

Absolutely.

The last 19s team would win the first class tournament if the National players were away.

Even the Alistair Campbell academy two years ago won it or came close with just kids.

The players who don’t have a national contract are usually the dregs that show up because they have no other options or it’s fun for them.

Who else is playing for 100 bucks a month in the middle of the week?

If you look at all the last 15 years 19s team. They usually play and go out the door without being fed into the domestic system.

If you’re 28, in No danger of making the national team and okay first class, you’re either very rich or very poor.

Someone floated the idea here that yours like Singapore where they bring players in who are questionable selections, are just ti reward the loyalty of hanging around the scene.

So in this theory Maruma is no longer getting selected to be the next BT, but ti say thanks for being in the system and here’s some match fees- but only half, the rest goes to Makoni.

Jeez 😂 😂 This is a new low. Is Carl Mumba going the Maruma/Mutombodzi way?

When the Competiton is weak, it’s easy just to reesyablosj yourself from batsman to bowler and vice versa

Admittedly it does happen occasionally, like James Franklin,but can you imagine someone like Mark Wood rock up and be ‘imma be a batsman now’ and actually do it?

Happens a lot in Zim.

What do you have against Midwest lads that you want them to be based there ? 😂

I say that half in jest, Jason Gillespie loved it there, and I know a couple of others that quite enjoyed it. Back in the day Kwe Kwe Sports club used to hum. You had to mind your P's and Q's, some rough tough lads you used to frequent that place.

Something very odd about Nigeria quietly being here, not wanting to play our U19's, playing strange pick-up sides etc. Doesn't quite stack up.
