Zimbabweans In Franchise League

[secretzimbo]

Raza, Ngarava & Marumani have been signed for the Abu Dhabi T10.

First overseas gig for Marumani!

Ngarava is picking up a lot of these gigs these days. He has had a great 12 months. Very happy for Maru too, I think he has gotten to the point where we have to just give him a long run in the team until he gets it right.

A welch/maru opening stand in t20is look appetizing

[sloandog]

Yea welch looks more dependable up top. We're so lucky that he's in the frame now. Just adds to a delicately emerging future top and middle order

[secretzimbo]

Just seen the top overseas categories in the PSL draft. Absolutely mad that Ngarava isn't involved. Teams including up to IPL level should be all over him. Quick, tall left-armer who has taken more T20I wickets than anyone this calendar year and at a better average and economy rate and who looks like he still has capacity to improve yet further.

Then you look at the hordes of bang average West Indian, Australian and English players who get these gigs with ease and it's maddening. If Richie was any other nationality he'd be playing in every league in the world.

.

He is in the silver category along with maru, Burl, Madziva, Mutumbami, Ervine.

[secretzimbo]

Ya exactly.

Look at the guys in the higher categories and Ngarava is a more valuable buy than at least 50% of them

[pillowprocter]

Certainly on another level to Madziva

[secretzimbo]

Jeez, Ngarava and Muzarabani weren't even called forward for bids!

When you look at the vast amounts of money being spent on other relatively average bowlers it is continually exasperating that Richard in particular wouldn't even be called forward to be considered, for 50 lakh?!

If he had a different flag next to his name he would have gone for a decent amount of money.

Unfortunately thats why national team performances matter. Had they gone to India for the ODI World Cup and Ngarava performed the way he was performing he would have had a chance. Some of these failures are detrimental to their own careers.

Raza got picked when we were doing well. We had knocked over Pakistan and Australia and Bangladesh. Raza scored a century against a weakened India. Those are the things that get you noticed. Raza was also doing well in the other T20 leagues.

It's a long journey to the IPL for players like ours.
