Thinks we can win the series inshallah :lol: :lol: he can’t honestly believe that surely.

If they’re wanting a couple of overs from Faraz striking at 160+ they might as well open with him and/or groom him as some pinch hitting batter who might give you a couple of overs with the ball. Maybe bat six or something.

He’s in the mix whether that’s right or wrong so they need to utilise him in a way that works without compromising other areas. For me he might have a useful over or two but there’s no way he could be trusted to deliver four solid overs like you’d expect from a frontline bowler.

Hierarchy = Corrupt
Coaches = Puppets
Selection = Quota
This formula will continue to destroy any chance of Zimbabwe being the best it can be. It's sad because there is enough depth and talent to field very competitive teams in all formats.

It’s the greatest thing ever :lol: meet great guys (and girls) from all walks of life over the years, never see them outside of the game. But you know you’ll see them the next game. United by some sweet victory against whoever 50 years ago or by consternation at how so-and-so keeps getting picked :lol:

Wouldn’t change any of it for the world and whatever crazy shenanigans ZC come out with next can’t ever ruin that :lol: there’s more to the game than results and whatever that more is, it’s untouchable.

Faraz bowled 8 overs in one game with a wicket compared to 4 overs by Gwandu in 2 games zero wicket .. Give the guy a break..
Now in the upcoming 20 series..Burl, Wes have to bowl an over or 2 because Faraz will be in the lineup..

M Frost is playing as a local player. Khaif Patel's inclusion triggered the board, as per Mawosa's word; he is not approved by Kyle Jarvis.

Don't tell me Jarvis has right of veto, bud.
At most he makes a recommendation.

Bad miss by Maru there. A dropped catch and then this miss, but apart from that has been fairly tidy.

Bad over from Blessing. Too many attempts at variations. He's got such unique height and bounce he doesn't need to do much else other than bang it in and take some pace off now and then.

And now Richie taking some tap. We've let it go badly in the last two.

Jarvis?! What on Earth has Jarvis got to do with it, what is his role? He’s another of these guys that presumably has something over ZC because they’ve continued to pay him big bucks for several years despite him doing, it seems, absolutely fuck all.
