Looking forward to seeing bennett maposa and musekiwa in these matches. Glad raza is still there and committed.

We do need dad's army ( Williams-Ervine) for the tests and one day matches.

Is it tawanda or tinotenda maposa that is in this squad?

Tawanda played in recent afro10

What's the deal with Schadendorf? Is he interested in the national squad?

More a case of the selectors being interested in HIM. I've lost complete interest. The NPL was great to see because Takashinga got pumped by a superior, well drilled side with no bias in their selection. See Akram in this side infuriates me, because he's not good enough and he's talking a place of a more deserving player

Ya, a guy averaging 30 and striking at 150 with the bat in t20i’s is nowhere near good enough.

His dad must have made a donation to get him selected because he sure wasn’t picked on merit after an appalling series vs Bangladesh.

The funniest part about it all is that if Akram does get a chance to bat against these sides there is a good chance he will smash them around and secure his place for the future. I doubt he will get a chance to bat unless we are batting first.

The ones I will be watching will be Wes and Maru. Surely the time has come to show something. Our A team dominated similar competition in the Africa Games. They have to make a statement. Somehow you will see Wes struggling.

Why would you bowl him? What conditions require a 115kph trundler who's not that accurate?
And if you're not going to bowl him, why select him as a batsman when there are 20 better ones. And he's a substandard fielder.

We've watched Wes and Maru in pressure situations against good bowling for 2 or 3 years now, the latest one being this T10.

We've watched Myers bog a few important innings and dink it around until the game is gone, but he needs some rope, hopefully he'll come good.

Madande isn't good enough and I don't think will be, we've seen plenty of him. The one knee slog to cow is all he's got when he's under pressure.

Musekiwa is in as a finisher. We've got better, but he's certainly got capacity to improve.
