He is doing a sterling job there, along with Nathan Waller and Matthew Bentley.

Still don't think he's anything more than an exceptional school cricketer but i'll gladly be proven wrong. Nice that, despite all the financial problems of late, that he's decided to stay and play here instead of going abroad.

He's coming along nicely but I would like to see him go up against the likes of Vitori, Shingi and Chatara before pushing for national selection. It's a real shame there isn't much of a Zimbabwe 2nd XI to test these type of players who are on the fringe of selection.

Of what I have seen of him, he is a long way off selection. He needs to score heavily this season, and if there is one, next season, before i even consider to change my mind

PJ Moor is committed to playing for Ireland, he will play in there 4 day comp this year and for CYIS on club weekends, like Nathan Waller ZC are aware of this and are allowing him to play as an overseas player

How sure are you about this mate because I remember him saying last year he would love to play for Zimbabwe .....

I'm not saying ur wrong just wondering how concrete your info is .....

He could be playing both sides and seeing which suits him best when the chance arises ....

One person(I'd not heard of before) said it on the Cricket Europe/Ireland page forum but I've not seen it confirmed anywhere...I'd be surprised if he was selected for the full Ireland side as his stats weren't great last time in Ireland and I'd have thought there'd be a lot of batsmen ahead of him (3rd/4th XI at best) but would be interested how he does if selected in the Inter-pros.

That said, he's far from certain to get picked for NCU's team (Northern Knights), I can think of at least 7-8 batsmen who am sure would consider themselves ahead of him. But I could be wrong, he may have a great year this year if he returns (although, again, I've not seen that confirmed by anyone connected with CIYMS)
