Logan Cup 1st Round (Tuskers vs Eagles & Mountaineers v Southern Rocks)

[zimfan1]

Glad that Dom Bess is not running through the Mountaineers, shows that our FC stuff is no push over. Wellington tonking him about all over the place.

Tiripano making some runs, he needs a recall for the ODIs. Good old Larry with a vital contribution of 0*.

Tiripano and Shingi batting most of the day together.

The future

You know it’s the future when Dave gets the chop and Rajput is reinstated for the Sri Lanka trip.

If they want to chase away every ounce of seniority within that squad then way to go....Rajput is your man

I wonder if Chari will ever have a Kaia like switch to being a decent international player. Multiple coaches backed him over the years. They must have seen something

[TapsC2]

What if Chatara outperforms every bowler now that he is playing domestic? Could we not have a similar situation like the big 3 where the other guys just aren't good enough? I would actually say our fast bowling options are a lot less than our batting options.

After Evans, Gwandu and Chivanga who else? I don't want him back but its just an interesting perspective especially because fast bowlers get injured regularly too.

I’ve always believed that he is a better red-ball bowler anyway so I would not be surprised if he does well. Although I cannot believe the last time he played a test match was in 2018.

Chari was never given a fair crack, just the odd game here and there. This was the case of many guys who played when BT, Hamilton, Ervine, Williams and Raza made up the bulk of the middle order. They were never going to get a fair run before the big five were playing. Players need a run of 10 games to be fairly judged but you are not going to leave quality out for potential.

I felt Mutizwa, Maruma, Chari and Prince could have had better returns if they had been given a run of 10 games or so.

If Chatara outperforms then he’s back in the Zim team, simple as that. Other guys need to do better.
