Re: Zimbabwe U20 Nationals Discussion
- Was really disappointed with how the tour ended, but pulled up some stats to put it in perspective, as everything seemed to go against us
- On our worst pitches we were only the better team once, game 2 against India and only because they bowled 5 spinners, if they'd have bowled a seamer we would have been outranked every game
- We only had two players in the top 30, with in the five 30 - 50 range, which just isn't good enough to promote
- The positives are that our spinners will mature in time for the final tour / world cup,
- Then the two relegated teams from OD2 have really struggled match ratings wise, compared to the 2 promoted teams, Pakistan & Scotland
- So we'll set up to push for promotion next time, knowing we need promotion for world cup qualification hopes!
- Won the T20 rights as we need to ensure qualification for the last T20 WC, So we'll push for promotion there as well!

Re: Zimbabwe U20 Nationals Discussion
After successfully winning the hosting rights, we’ll be competing in front of our home fans in division 2 for the T20I tour!
Below are the squad of players selected to represent Zimbabwe:
Antonie Wylie (The Hurlutown Partnership)
Eddie Davids (Harare Hammers)
Moaner Mash (Staindrop Village CC)
Regis Sawu (Staindrop Rockets)
Tsweu Mahlunge (Crimson Tide)
Theuns Harrop (North Cunnett CC)
Simbarashe Ndlovu (The Collywobblers)
Rudzani Dwanqube (The Cricket Club)
Trent Ontong (Kudos)
Ngonidzashe Hove (TheChosenOne)
David Stuurman (The Collywobblers)
Godfrey Gombami (Camberwell Carrots)
Mkhanyiseli Chiwira (Vivi)
Leo Maruma (Unusual Suspects)
Norman Kaondera (Ffoh)
Kerry Rathie (The Collywobblers)
Pinkie Baylis (Vudu Blasters)
Oscar Tett (Worralls Wizards)
Matchday 1 vs Bermuda U20 - Uneven
Matchday 2 vs West Indies U20 - Hard
Matchday 3 vs Pakistan U20 - Hard
Matchday 4 vs Kenya U20 - Even
Matchday 5 vs Canada U20 - Uneven
Only 2 first choice pitches throws our plans out of the window!
Lopsided squad as form is weak comparatively and bowling unit continues to be weak, hopefully next tour they’ll mature,
We’ll just have to try our best and see.
