I think his recent form would have been the issue for the selectors. But boy he has got some talent skills , who can forget his inning of 194 against bagladeshis :p .....i still remeber his Six against Brett lee in world cup 2011 in india when he hitted him for six on offside ....not many of the batsmans in the modern cricket can do that easily ..but yeah Chris gayle and imran nazir can surely do :p

May be our beloved chopper needs to spend a bit more time with grant flower our batting coach, if the resources allow may be some batting consultancy on five batesman who have seemed to have lost form over the couple of years eg Terrence duffin,gaving ewing,charles coventry,chamu chibhabha,forster mutizwa.
Matsi should be in the T20 side, although I am coming to the conclusion he should be phased out of the one day side.
A talented batsman but a modest, hardworking character, Stuart Matsikenyeri is the third of three school friends from Churchill Boys High School, Harare to represent Zimbabwe in international cricket. - Cricinfo.
Choppa's mind is clearly divivded if he didnnt have the mental strength to get going while he only concentrated on cricket now that he is also running a successful business we can forget him. Thats why it was never a good idea for Chigs to start an academy while he was struggling for form and a captain.

Well said .what i like about coventry is that he isnt intimidated by any bowler the astralians wr rlvd after he got out

matsikenyeri . the reason that pple dnt rate him is that h hasnt gt a century if hs chosen for t20s h should open the batting like he dd vs new zealand he needs to silence his critics
