Northerns vs Southerns | List A | 14 and 16 November 2024

It’s actually not that easy

Blessing, Raza and Richie pick themselves, every other place is fair game and not enough room for everyone.

Marumani will probably open. There’s the other opener up for grabs.

Bats 3,4 and 6 are up for grabs with about 10 guys vying for a place. Now that is a tough call. Common sense says Ervine, Williams and one other, but who? this is the one area there is genuine competition and some deserving guys will be overlooked.

Two keepers vying for a place, where would you bat gumbie though? 7 or open?

Spinner? Do we even need one? Could we get away with an extra batter who bowls a bit?

Third seamer? They’re all equally impotent, Faraz can bat a bit though.

Then you got to factor in how much they like Wes this week

[Pat_Bee]

And the old ZC patented curveball where someone random like Larry who didn’t even play this week gets named in the squad

[Googly]

Ya that's a decent pick Marshmallow

[Pat_Bee]

It’s a ballsy pick. Only two quicks and counting on 20 overs of spin from part timers, I like its audacity

[Googly]

Just short a seaming all-rounder as a back up incase pitch isn't turning.

I await their team with bated breath.

Bennett
Gumbie (keeper)
Ervine
Myers
Williams
Raza
Burl
Masakadza
Maposa
Mazarabani
Ngarava

This would maybe be my 11 from the guys they've given us.

[Pat_Bee]

I actually quite like that. Inclusion of Myers dropping Williams and Raza down to 5 and 6. Bats deep

[Pat_Bee]

I wouldn’t be averse to a bit of pitch doctoring to level the playing field either.

4/78 off 9.4 overs with an economy rate of 8.07 and you are awarded man of the match ? What a joke
