Williams has such a low ceiling.
He doesn't do anything with it and he's very hittable

I was impressed to see the Proteas comeback in the ODI Series against Australia.

We have De Zorzi scoring a century. Came from the same class which Ngarava destroyed and they finished below us. The same team had Wiaan Mulder. The keeper Verryenne.

Mavuta was captain. Wes, Ngarava and Mashinge played. Why can't our guys kick on? I swear this is the one thing that makes me emotional about Zimbabwe cricket. The talent is there. Its not true we not producing it. We absolutely destroyed this SA u19 team but their guys are kicking on. Murray was playing but he decided against comitting.

This last series we saw Mavuta and Ngarava doing well at least but we really have to address why these kids aren't kicking on before we all lose hope.

I can almost guarantee you that had Wes stayed in the SA system he would crack the Proteas by the 2027 World cup. We have to address this problem head on.

St Charles was ranked number 23 for cricket in SA this year. We had 3 guys in there. There are lots of other Zim kids in those SA schools. They will get a sniff at the world cup, show promise, enter the system then suddenly start struggling

Ranked 23? That’s not that great tbh. Madhevere and Madande single handedly pulled St Charles into the top ten schools whilst they were there. They had a ridiculous year if I remember.


But your points are right generally

De Kock’s glove stayed in the system and scored more in penalty runs than Wez did off the bat at the World Cup last year.

SA are bowling well. Burger looks awesome.
How do SA keep producing these scary bowlers?
