Durham tour of Zimbabwe (2025)

[Conant]

Jonno Campbell is in both squads ?
Tsiga and Makoni lucky to be there.
Where's Munyonga?

Munyonga is the same as Burl, only seen as a white ball player. Which is fair enough.

I second.

[Googly]

Maybe, but that's a little old school. The better players as a rule can and should play all/more formats, especially in our small pool of players.
For example Burl is an all format player, especially offering leg spin. I think his batting has suffered by him not playing more red ball. It's a volume thing more than anything.

I see Tsiga is in both squads as well. You have to wonder how much time goes into these selections when they put the same names in both squads.

Oh good to see Mubayiwa in there. He hasn't got a great record, but is about our only spinner that batters struggle to read. When he's having a good day he's very good.

I assume that Tsiga is there as back up in one of the matches. Our selectors are always obsessed about having a backup keeper.

Makoni lucky after the great red ball season?

[sloandog]

Very surprised Evans isn't in the mixer.

Very surprised Evans isn't in the mixer.

I thought maybe it was because the Pro 50 is on at the same time as one of the matches.

I mean Prince made a test side because he had experience in the UK/ireland.

I mean a fair few studied in England.

[Googly]

Surely one of those games is not on the same date as the Pro 50 final?

[Pat_Bee]

No, the pro50 final is the weekend between the two matches.

Evans played the Canada games, and went pretty well. So it's not like he's being ignored. Maybe fitness concerns?

Frost still Irish then, by the looks of it?

Disgraceful anti-Takaz bias though. No place for Roy Kaia, Innocent Kaia, Maruma and many others. Agenda clearly...

Outstanding red ball season. Better than Matt Campbell, for example.

Those games against Canada were grizzly for sure though. Keep him away from that format please!
