Mens & Women's comps at the same time. Ridiculously only 4 games per side + final.

As reported elsewhere;

Williams may miss at least some games due to an 'illness'

Chari is unavailable - he's in Denmark

Raza is unavailable - he's in Bangladesh playing List A cricket

Hopefully Blessing plays

Hopefully Regis has recovered from his injury

Anyone heard anything else regarding squads yet? Surely some U19 or club players may get a chance here.

Someone asked about Ali Hamid on the club thread last week. Well he’s playing for Eagles in a warm up game today.

Our esteemed coach is already back home after he visited Zimbabwe a couple of weeks ago. Here's me thinking our 'T20 genius' coach might have stuck around for our T20 tournament in the lead-up to crucial T20WC qualifiers, but of course I expected too much 😂 😂 😂

For time spent vs dollars earned this guy rivals Elon Musk.

One of these reporters needs to start asking masakadza and mukhulani some hard questions about this guy, its unbelievable. Surely he can't even be part of a selection process if he's never seen a single guy actually play? This is a disgraceful state of affairs.

I'd love to know what Raza thinks of Bangladeshi List A vs Zim's.

Hami basically said in an interview they wanted some kind of continuity in the coaching structure after replacing the other coaches. Larry pressed him more about what happens to Rajput if we don't qualify for the T20s. Evasive as expected. He clearly has their support

Ya I saw that interview. Part 1 of 4 apparently.

He kept rambling on about "tinkering" but not "tinkering" too much 😂 What does that mean exactly? The word he's looking for is "overhauling!" He's under the illusion we are making progress when we are in reverse.

Surely Klusener should get his arse down here ASAP as well. Winter is on it's way, he's got about 3 weeks of decent fishing left.

Matsi is effectively our head coach 95% of the time now. The idea is Rajput just flies in for each series/tour. It's a bonkers idea.

We are paying this dude 8k a month for this 😂 Just sitting on his arse in Mumbai ffs. And none of the players even like him
ZCF Hall of Famer
Considering we've been told for four years that the guy is a T20 mastermind and his main objective is to make us a world class T20 side......you'd think he would bother to appear for the 6 days of domestic T20 cricket we play annually.
ZCF Hall of Famer
I'm really not sure how he thinks there's progress when we don't play games? How do you tell if there's progress?

No players on the planet come off a 4 month lay off and continue to show progress. You're rusty as hell and you're back to square 1 is what actually happens.

The only guy on this earth who doesn't have to play or practice and maintain form is Williams. 😂

He is the king of doing nothing and being able to perform, he's a machine.

Evans should be in the team for the qualifiers.

Jeeez I know this lad is pretty new as a under 19 kid ( Chibanda) but he has given strike early in over to daniel jakiel again.

Was looking ok chibanda and could have got team close if not over line.

This brainless cricket has to stop. Bit more match awareness and maybe coaches need to have a word with the young lads about this. Batting is an art but also farming strike is just as important between winning and losing a match

Depends if he’s still going ahead with his U.K. club gig or not

Playing international cricket is an big achievement of every player, even small child knows that. But some players like Evans choosing club cricket over international cricket?🙆‍♂️

Ya it will depend on what he prefers, Zimbabwe have limited resources and they need the best of them to be available.

T20 WC qualification and subsequent good performance at the world cup will encourage some youngsters to consider playing for Zimbabwe. Important next few months for the team, hoping for the best.

Both games are probably going get cancelled. The weather is awful today

I dunno i like idea of kaitabo as 2020 opener. The way he belted around the bowlers including chatara bodes well

Yeah he didn't come out to bat in the previous match. This guy gets injured more than anyone. Annoying.

Chibhabha casually sauntering towards a national re-call. 😂
