Tari will come good. He's got stupid amounts of talent and just needs to get off the mark in test cricket. Don't write him off yet. Ryan Burl looks like he's going to be used more as a LOI player coming down the order and bowling his leg spinners. And that's fine, there's value in that, I just think he's wasted coming in so low because he can really bat.

There's a lad apparently in the next under 19's batch (not Bawa) who is as good as Wesley? Was speaking speaking a bloke on the ground and said he's unreal. How do we churn out players like this when we hardly play and school cricket now days?
who`s better myers or wes?

Hard to say. Probably equal amounts of talent with the bat, but then Wes probably more potential as a bowler too. Wes was actually more of a bowler when he was younger, his batting at a really excellent level developed relatively recently.

The other thing worth mentioning is that Jongwe actually has a better career batting average than Tiripano anyway. Is a better bowler. And is 7 years younger.

I really like DT too and he did really well today but we can't be sentimental in selections.
I get that I really do. I suppose maybe a better question is are any of our seamers good enough to be part of an attack for give us 20 wickets? Who can go with Blessing and get those runs like Don can? You are correct that Jongwe deserves a shot.

I don't think theres anyone even close to Bawa's potential in the next batch. I think he has the ability to be better than any of the current emerging 4 (Wes, Shumba, Myers, Marumani). There's plenty of other good talents though - Nick Welch's younger brother, the Bennett's, Steven Saul a wicketkeeper bat. Couple of good Asian kids as usual as well but they never seem to make it into the setup as easily as black or white kids for whatever reasons. Mataranyika & Chirwa are good bowlers to look out for. Tashinga Makoni with the bat another one.
