Good to see Marumani scoring some runs here. I think Shumba is another one we should not forget about. He had a steep decline but can bounce back Milton.

All three Player of the Matches today were Zimbabwean. Chakabva/Marumani/Evans.

Evans is a real mystrey. Looks like he has all the attributes to be a really good bowling allrounder but he nearly always gets smashed and rarely scores any runs.

Doesn't help when they play him one game ans drop him the next. Yes he has not grabbed his chances, but surely could be given a longer rope.

I'm sorry to bring this up again, but still can't get over the fact that Jongwe at 8 and Evans at 9 instead of Wellington and Tendai would have most likely given Zim that WC spot. Yeah, I'm crying over split milk but that still hurts. I also agree that in hindsight it is always easy to say but damn it still hurts.

True

Just using full quota of Wellington and Ngarava properly through the tournament would have helped qualify, if we are looking at simple things done right.

It’s been done to death. The target in that Scotland match was sub 5 an over. All it needed was a couple of guys to take singles, put the bad balls away and we’d have won. Raza was the man who should have brought it home but was out on a needless pull.

Interesting playing 11 for Capetown samp army . Marumani Williams and ngarava playing as three zimbos . Does that mean Tom curran is also playing as a zimbo ? Cause as rule suggests 4 zimbaweans are mandatory in playing 11 right ?

They changed that to three Zimbos today apparently.

Is Curranmania going to out live Melton Mania!?

Hahah really ? Why ? Cause they thought they have too many foreigners signed up and not everyone getting chance to play

No idea mate, Ervine said something about it after the toss and the commentators mentioned it in passing. You’re probably on the money with your guess though.

Well it’s more realistic than the Kiran Carlson mania on ZC’s Facebook page when he was making runs in the Logan cup.
