It's strange because at the WC he was uber accurate.
Every game he plays, he seems to spray a 5 wides that barely hits the pitch.

He remains as exciting a seam prospect as there is, but has a lot of improving to do.
Still only 18! Glowing reviews from the club he went to in Leicester over the winter apparently.

May be guilty of trying to bowl too fast/too hard. He's not actually very tall, which is a bit of a shame.

Yeah absolutely, a big prospect, but not quite yet ready for rushing through the system.

Ya the worry for me is his height. A few good short seamers around, of course, but they're in the minority.
As long as you can get it to move though.

From my playing experience, facing a short ball from a skiddy bowler is far more difficult

Mr Mukhulani and Ozias Bvute are very smart guys. You don't get to the top of the tree unless you've got skills.

I just don't know how hands on he is. It's very disappointing that Frank has resorted to his Rhodesian rhetoric. Obviously the issue is he's not censored by his bosses, worrying because he now actually has a formal post at ZC and doubly worrying because it continues to reveal the dark and dangerous side to ZC. Or perhaps most worrying of all that they think so little of the public that they're quite happy for Zolsky to be their informal/formal mouthpiece.

It's a bit weird because they want the public to rubber stamp their plans, but they're not reading the room.
They obviously don't need anyone's good will or approval but some small part craves it.
It's the mark of any dictatorial folk, with no accountability you eventually get a God complex.

I don't know whether Frank really believes Danielsson is AC or he's just using the opportunity to have a dip at him. If its the latter that's intriguing. Why would he be doing that? I see the Dominus Sports thing has reared it's head. I wonder if they're going anywhere with that?
Perhaps it's nothing more than a smokescreen because for some reason they're feeling the heat a bit? However nothing is ever quite as simple as it seems here.
I can safely say i am not AC. I am flattered he thinks i am though.

I'm clearly hitting a nerve and its beautiful!

:lol: :lol: The accusations that Danielsson is AC are hilarious. Zimdan has been posting here on ZCF since 2007 - look at his old posts, clearly not AC.
Thank you for actually doing an ounce of research!

To be honest though, doesn't that say more about the priorities of white kids of that age?

Where are Shonken and MacMillan, for example? Don't appear to be grinding it out, trying to make it. If you don't walk straight into pro cricket like Bennett or M.Welch, they tend to disappear for a bit at least.

I stand to be corrected, but having finished school, I'm guessing they're off at Uni somewhere, thinking about where they're going drinking tonight.

Heavy defeat to Uganda yesterday. In fairness, the Uganda side is significantly older and more experienced.

The pitch is very challenging for the young batters. Very slow, with extravagent spin.
