These guys have put a heavy burden on the Zim Squad
Zhuwao a least on a good day he would put up 18 runs for 9 or 8 balls.. attacking the bowlers
Serious questions should be asked why Chibhabha is captain

Chibhabha & Chari shouldn't be allowed to play again

Is this where we’ve sunk to..? Where we believe 18 is a good innings? Cepheus was no better than a left handed Charles Coventry. Destructive against poor attacks on flat decks, dangerously bad against decent bowling.
Ryan Burl and Milton Shumba need time at the time (or in the fracking side!).

Would prefer an attacking you batsmans that Chari scoring 6 run for 19 balls
Or Chakabva scoring 7 runs for 33 balls..
In Zhuwao u know what you have power and attacking mentality....
To bad Streak lost his job because he chose PJ Moor to open instead of Zhuwao...
Imagine Zhuwao against UAE we would have been to the world cup

The interesting thing is that every single coach who has come in has believed in Chari. I don’t know why

Probably work ethic / attitude / visible hard work?
May be that's what ticked for Malcolm Waller too.
These admirable attributes must be recognized and rewarded for sure, but with keeping an eye on actual quality at the end of it...

Solution
Mutumbani is a WK who can open...investing in him will help after BT...
The Kaia brothers can be looked at as openers...
Burl is already in the squad he can be groomed into an opening batsman.
Lastly P J Moor is another candidate...

Chari appears to be a work in progress TEST player.
Maybe someone that honestly needs to find a season in a league slightly more elevated than the Logan cup to help lift his game out of sight.
He strikes me as maybe being the type of guy that feels the gulf in quality between Logan and international. A lot.
That said his FC isn't good either so who the hell knows

ShareI was just listening to a podcast where David Mutendera claimed that the appointment of chibhabha was already set in motion by the previous administration as well as basically calling all the players of the 90s racist... so take from that what you will, but personally to me the guy sounds like a clown

Another failure for Chibhabha. A few more donuts in this series and they'll probably have no choice but to drop him... or to save face, do you reckon he gets one more series? The sooner Williams is the captain across all formats the better IMO.

Shareits the dean at stumps podcast, you can listen to it on spotify and a bunch of other ones if you dont have it, a proper good podcast if you haven't listened to it. Was just bizarre what a tirade he went on going off about how he was more deserving of a player than Heath Streak.

Sour grapes mate.
Standard Zimbabwe though, a white man has something and the black man doesn’t and it’s a race issue. That’s not all of Zimbabwe of course, it’s a small percentage but still a reality

Chari may still be useful in some formats and situations, Chibhabha is a complete dead weight.
My All-time Zimbabwe XI
Neil Johnson, Brendan Taylor, Murray Goodwin, Andy Flower (w), David Houghton, Sean Williams, Heath Streak (c), Andy Blignaut, Paul Strang, Eddo Brandes, Blessing Muzarabani

I can’t find a place for either of them in any format if I’m honest. I was always a Chibhabha fan but the guy hasn’t scored a run in for ever!!!
Chari for me is too loose to be an opener and I’m not sure he’ll be any more consistent in the middle order. For Tests Kevin Kasuza has a much better technique from what I’ve seen.

To be honest if Hammy couldn't see this is how it would play out, he has the IQ of a duck.
Everyone here knew how this would go, even Mueddie and Stoneman,
Just prior to his recall, he had not even played competitive cricket in a long time and everyone assumed he had drifted off into quasi retirement the way Vusi sort of did.
You can't just return from a year out of the game to open the batting in international cricket AND captain. His rhythm is stunted. I'd say growth but at 34 there no real growth.
What's more, he's never scored a century in 100 innings and even at his best.
There's no way in hell that around age 35 after being out of the game he was going to come back and set the world alight.
What the f**k were you thinking Hammy?
If my suspicions are correct and you really are hellbent on this black empowerment business, there's other ways to do this as Wes has shown.
No point persisting with all black losers/ has beens that won't retire unless kicking and screaming, when you could just promote Shumba and Muyeye and these kids who might actually be decent one day.
Atm you're just embarrassing yourself. No wonder I see comments from black Zimbabweans 'blacks can't play cricket' all over Facebook.
Your having the opposite efffect to your ideology by rewarding failure.
Although I suspect the answer far simpler. Hamilton just wants to look after his friends.
