NPL 2023

[Googly]

Some of the shots that Matthew Welch has played this morning are orgasmic. Looks to have a higher celling that Bennett to me with the bat.

If he can just assess the bowlers and situation better he's going to have a career. He's a tremendous talent. Time on the ball, can't buy it.

Whats the bet on both campbell brothers and welch brothers representing zimbabwe within the next 5 years?

[secretzimbo]

Welch's with a much higher chance than the Campbell's probably.

Malcolm Chikuhwa (Gladiators 19 at 17)

Keepers
Tafadzwa Ngulube (Westside 147 runs at 21, 18 dismissals)

Just a selection there are others that have performed in the odd game, haven't included those like Mhlanga who have played a few first class games now. Not many Keepers putting their hands up as usual, just liked Ngulubes technique.

Owen Muzondo, spinner from Gladiators, deserves a mention too

What's the other campbell brother like?

[Googly]

He wasn't picking Burl's googly (survived a good shout), but was playing it off the pitch. Only a few folk can do that and not look very ordinary. Extremely fast reactions. Superb hands.

[Googly]

Matt Campbell looks good. Nice leftie. He's gone the Uni route though.
Scratch golfer, extremely talented young man.

Welch's with a much higher chance than the Campbell's probably.

What's the other campbell brother like?

If he'd been playing cricket for the last few years instead of messing about with golf in America he'd probably be really good. As it stands he looks pretty talented much like Johnathan although I'm not convinced either of them will ever be spectacular or go to the next level required for international cricket. We'll see. Jono really needs a big year in particular.

Takashinga have just scored 277/2 against Gladiators

[Googly]

So Munyonga goes for 40 off his first 2 overs and the genius captain keeps bowling him. Fuck me.
I smell a gonzo.
