He can keep wicket as well. If the scorecard from a few days ago is correct. Not that we need anymore keepers; Maruma will be our first choice from here on. That's when he's not bowling teams out by himself.

The article only states that he is eligible for Ireland. Not that he is going to play for them. To be honest I think he is closer to breaking into the Zimbabwean team than the Irish.

He'd appear to be well off selection from IRL alright, I'd have thought he'd be doing well to be even considered for selection for Leinster Lightning in our Inter-Pros, they can practically field a team of Internationals and there's a good few young Irish-produced players in their squad who would be next in line (IMO). Mind you, he had a very poor season in NCU last year, perhaps we've not seen the best of him yet, but if he jumped any queues now I'd expect an uproar here.

The 'Ireland' thing might be related to restrictions in Leinster on non-Irish First Class players being fielded by clubs, I think by declaring himself Irish (and having legal basis of passport/citizenship) he becomes eligible to play club cricket there. Craig Ervine did the same to avoid being counted as an overseas player in NCU, despite not being eligible for another 4 years.

For what it is worth I sent PJ a message asking Zimbabwe or Ireland? He replied Zim.

Fingers crossed

It jut sounds like he is having a 2 way bet Ireland and zim.

Whoever picks him first takes the cheese.

But fuck me- wouldn't you?

I thought as much.

PJ said via twitter direct message that he hopes to be selected for Zimbabwe, but needs to convert his starts into big scores.

I wonder if he is an outside bet for the Tri series against South Africa and Australia, you get the sense that the selecters and coaches are getting frustrated with a few players such as Maruma, Waller and Raza which may be an opportunity for either a Moor or Mutumbambi or even Kasuza.

I think it would be only fair to give Mutumbambi the next chance due to his performances over 3/4 seasons but Moors name must be in the discussion.

Has a Bhasikoro-mania started yet?
