Moor cannot play for Zimbabwe for another 3 years otherwise he would have settled well under this team. I don’t see Ireland trusting him given that he didn’t even get a go in his home conditions and they preferred a pinch hitter over him
Why would you want someone that can't even make the Ireland team playing for Zimbabwe? He's obviously not good enough
I don't agree. He's a good player. Not easy opening in tests, nobody wants that job. It's just one innings that kick starts your game.
If he can't get a game for a side like Ireland (who are arguably an inferior side, at best on par) what makes him a good player?

Opening bowlers bowling wrong line and length. Not by much but ...

Well I've seen him play often from when he was a kid and he is a good player.
I can't say why he's not getting games, perhaps the same reason Madhevere is?

Somehow I feel the move to Queens away from Harare will be the deciding factor on whether Zim qualifies or not... This team is tailor made for HCC

There are "good players" in our domestic setup, what we need are "very good" to great players to replace the big 3 and perform at international level. So why the clamour for him in particular?

I stopped watching after that 1st innings and that appears to be a good choice. If Evans has dropped catches then there us no way he is playing ahead of Chatara. This was his big chance and he seems to have messed up again.

Why are we talking about PJ Moor?

He’s gone

It’s over

Chatara is an horrendous fieldsman
