PRO50 CHAMPIONSHIP 2022-23

[CalZim]

Is William Mashinge available to play for Zimbabwe ? He is putting on performances.

Also I will be keeping an eye on Jonathan Campbell & Nyasha Mayavo.

I can’t see what any of them will add to the current squad:

Mashinge is okay as an allrounder, not consistent enough for me, also he needs to work a lot on his bowling or else he will never even be considered, (a bit like Mumba)

A lot of people get excited about Campbell because of his family history when, In reality he is just a slightly better standard than a club cricketer, his bowling his awful and he is a 40 odd batsmen now and again. I don’t think he will ever make it to the National team.

Mayavo is a great keeper but his batting is below par and is not what we need at national level. He may be having a good couple of seasons but that doesn’t make him the replacement to Chakabva, I much prefer Madande who has lots of potential. It is a shame though because he is a great guy, worth keeping him in an ‘A’ team for experience around others.

Can’t find a stream today but the rhinos match has live commentary again on cricinfo.

Brandon Mavuta 6/43

Shane Getake scoring a century for Tuskers, concerning that a bowler from Ireland has come over and scored a ton, whilst most of the local batsman struggle

Getkate is not a bowler he is a batting allrounder ..but surprised to see him play a long innings like this ..he is more of a 15 ball 25-27 T20 type of player

He is a batsman now. Doesn't really bowl.

Could Charles Kunje be a realistic option for Zimbabwe soon. Seems in a good vein of form

He is a bit like Maunze who did the same last season, not consistent enough. Should be in the regional games though.

His technique isn’t that great from what I have seen over the last couple of years.

He has played for the A team though so he must be considered to have some potential.

Campbell finally gets over his problem in the 40s. On another note how sad is the demise of Musakanda.

Tuskers win again. Really good to see some high scoring games for a change. I am a big believer that better pitches leading to big runs will really help the domestic guys develop rather than playing on slow low tracks where 210-220 is a decent score.

Great weekend of cricket! I managed to call in to Kwekwe for an hour or so this afternoon whilst passing. I saw Kunje bring up his fifty which was nice. Rhinos look weak on paper but seem to be doing well.
The ground at Kwekwe is in pretty good shape! It’s funny that they still have all the 2018 WCQ signs and sponsors up everywhere, but the field looked in good condition and they’ve got a nicely renovated outdoor bar area. Lovely place to watch some cricket.

Yesterday I was at a primary school tournament in Harare yesterday as my cousins child was playing. Primary cricket is never great, but the team that won the tournament was a black school from Chi Town which was very surprising and encouraging. They had a lad batting who looked very special for an 11 year old - I hope he gets a good scholarship and keeps up his cricket.
