Zimbabwe u19s v South Africa u19s 1st Match

[zimfan1]

A fair few lads are writing their Cambridge exams at the moment. Expect to see a number of new guys in the next series.

These Saffas are assholes. One of the batters gets hit in the head from a bouncer and none of their players go and see how he is.

Who? Of the top performers from the trials, almost everyone has played at least one or two matches in this series.

Watson, Singh, Marillier (I think he is eligible), Viljoen. I'm actually more worried about the bowling than the batting. Not seen a half decent spinner yet.

[secretzimbo]

I'm not convinced any of the above significantly improve the team.

[secretzimbo]

Viljoen will probably be in there, ya. Konson, Patel, Martell only played the first two matches, but I mean they got hammered in those games too. There's only two boys I know of at school in SA that they could call on, if they are even interested.

[secretzimbo]

Besides, is this even SA's first choice side? I'm led to believe they are missing a few as well.

Jeez....the U19 Girls have just had the worst luck ever.

Zim vs Nigeria in the final - one team qualifies for the world cup. Zim restrict Nigeria to a below par 77-8. Zim a strong start in reply, 19-1 off 2 overs. Then it rained...match abandoned no result. No reserve day.

Nigeria qualify on account of beating Zim in the group stage last week.

Yet another world cup appearance missed out on for a Zim representative side. Thankfully the U19 boys qualify automatically for 2026

We are cursed. No jokes. ZC know they are, that's why daily prayers are in order.
