ILV85 Zim $LIZ 🇿🇼🏏🥇

In 17 test innings, 🇿🇼 Ben Curran only has 2 single digit scores. He often gets starts, then gives it away. A mindset i am sure he has worked on. Test 🏏 ave of 34.43 with 1 century and 1 half century paints the picture. 🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼

Trust the system they say.... If Ervine, Taylor and Cremer face up tomorrow, they will break a new test record, also owned by 🇿🇼 of players 40 or over, currently at 2. A combined age of 122yrs and 34 days, 🇿🇼 are set to play with 3 vs 🇦🇫. Wild. 🤣 🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼

Those who defend or remain silent on the 🇿🇼 🏏 results/squads are simply those who are beneficiaries of the system. Have look around folks. 🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼

Wes will always remain in the spotlight because his career numbers are those of an average domestic cricketer. Another example of 'cope' from 🇿🇼 🏏 who are unable to accept reality. Numbers are numbers. 🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼

Later today we'll look at the stats of our 🇿🇼 test squad selected vs 🇦🇫. For some players, is god awful reading. Ask yourselves once again how some players get free passes with no form or numbers to back up theit selection. Nepotism anyone...? 🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼

🤣🤣🤣 - expecting an immiment arrest upon receiving his cap....oh wait 🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼

🇿🇼 🏏 A squad analysis. This is a 4-day series, so lets dive into how these players could have been selected. Stats are from the 25/26 Logan Cup. Batters - 🏏 average Makoni (26) - 🏏 20.00 ❓️ M.Campbell (24) - 🏏 38.20 Myers (24) - 🏏 54.33 🔥 Kaitano (33) - 🏏 28.00 Maunze (35) - 🏏 33.44 Taruvinga (20) - 🏏 44.44 R.Kaia (35) - 🏏 36.10 Madande (26) - 🏏 66.00 (1 inn) All rounders - 🏏 and 🔴 average Chirwa (19) - 🏏 19.50 🔴 31.94 J.Campbell (28) - 🏏 49.11🔥 🔴 30.86 M. Frost (25) - 🏏 36.00 🔴 20.20 Bowlers - 🔴 average Chataira (28) - 🔴 24.28 Gwandu (28) - 🔴 32.38 ❓️ Maposa (23) - 🔴 19.25 🔥 Mazvitorera (20) - 🔴 24.29 Unjust ommissions Macheke (31) - 🔴 13.84 🔥🔥 Falao (23) - 🔴 19.74 🔥 Chatara (35) - 🔴 24.18 Kamu (31) - 🏏 39.79 Musakanda (32) - 🏏 39.80 Both Makoni and Gwandu are standout non merit based selections. Wildly, these are both Takashinga players. Leaving both Alex and Hendrichs out is unfortunate. Both former Rangerlads. 🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼

Heads will roll if 🇿🇼 Naqvi actually takes the field in the 1st test. 10 year waiting period? I cant wait. 🇿🇼🤣🇿🇼😜

🇿🇼 🏏 going cheap and and choosing a Test squad from players already in UAE from the limited overs series? No💲to send players home? 3 keepers? 3 spinners? 🤮🇿🇼🤮🇿🇼

Hey 🇿🇼 🏏. Let me define the meaning of "cope" for you. This 4 day squad emphasises "cope" impeccably. It implies that an organisation or person is fiecely rationalising a failure, a loss, or an undesirable truth because the alternative (accepting reality) is too painful. Yes 🇿🇼 🏏, we see right through it. Fans, a full sqaud breakdown is coming shortly using 4 day stats. Its sad reading. 🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼

Dont expect anything other than boozer level from those two. 🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼

With three days to go until 🇿🇼 A lock horns with 🇮🇪 A in a 4 day game, we are yet to see a squad named. You can comfortably put ZiGs on this 🇿🇼 squad being full of 26+ washed up national team players who are going to be given more game time to 'come good', rather than filling it with young talent or in form veterans who have not been given a national team chance. Will we continue to see obscene levels of cope from 🇿🇼 🏏 and see the regular failures selected? Or will they finally cave to critisism and poor player performances and use this A tour to discover who are the next generation to take over from the likes of Wes. We do know a few players who are likely to be involved from missing the last round of Pro50 matches and the names flatter to deceive. 🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼

Its all the Rhodie Cabal's fault... 🤣🇿🇼🤣

Lol - if i said this, id be part of a "Rhodie Cabal" 🤣🇿🇼🤣🇿🇼

Alot of noise regarding Tsiga's 🇿🇼 T20i yesterday. Lets explore how this selection may have come about. T20 🇿🇼 domestic performance 22/23 4 matches 40 runs 138 SR 23/24 2 matches 41 runs 100 SR 24/25 3 matches 111 runs 122 SR 25/26 4 matches 45 runs 75 SR Yeah, Im not sure either. 🤷‍♂️😬🇿🇼🇿🇼😬🤷‍♂️

As promised, the first (ODI) instalment of analysis to show that runs scored in the 🇿🇼 Pro50 domestically absolutely DO NOT result in ODI caps.

Continuing to work hard and we're already seeing it with a century in game 2 of this seasons Pro50. Smashing work mate, continue rising 🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼
