Zimbabwe is the only cricket nation, who doesn't pick talented under 19 cricketers at the international arena. Australia picked Hazlewwod, Marsh. South Africans are rocking with De Kock, Rabada, Russaeau. Windies picked Alzeri Joseph, Pooran, Hetmyer, Pope in their respective A team. England brought Currans, Mehmood in

But for Zimbabwe, no burl, no bowie, no deplock, no signs of kefee, sly, murray, snyder, ives, ngarva, mavuta or mashwinge. Old horses are just disappointing every games.

Basically the same as the 1st Test. No chance of winning, we have to just take time out of the game.
Bat until lunch on day 4, basically.

I don't have the strength to go back through the commentary but Moor must have cost us a hundred or more in both of these tests.

Well we had them 4/112. It was looking pretty good then.

If we had one seamer as good as Rabada, we'd actually be a pretty decent bowling unit.

8 Cremer - spinner
9 Tiripano - workhorse
10 Mumba - up and coming medium fast
11 Rabada - fast strike bowler

de Kock was nearly 22, Rabada 20 and a half, Russaeau is supposed to be Rossouw? if so he hasn't played in Tests at all, Hetmyer hasn't played Tests, Hope,not Pope, was 21 and a half, Pooran hasn't played Tests, neither Curran has played any international games, Mehmood is supposed to be Hameed? if so hasn't played international cricket, Hazelwood was almost 24, Marsh was 23

What have any of those players got to do with picking 19 year olds?
