I see this starts today. No Williams and Ervine? Anyone with info as to what’s happening there? @Prince EWS or @Chubb ?

Muzarabani's bowling has been lovely so far

Seems like there's been a feast of Zimbabwe tests lately

More thanks.

 

[Chubb]

I’m planning to be there for the NZ tests I just need the dates announced so I can plan it.

That Muzarabani guy looks a decent bowler.

 

[Bahseph]

McBrine is such a useful cricketer for Ireland.

Infor from a Zimbabwean cricket forum. They also shared this link

He may well be their only test calibre bowler ATM. Locals to confirm

Ngarava looks like a decent talent too tbh. Moves the new ball around and is a threat, although needs to be much more consistent with his line and length.

I think it was Muzarabani`s spell in England that helped him develop his game so much. If Ngarava had a similar opportunity, I feel he would be similar

It’s been a Blessing for him

Ali Campbell handing his son his test cap. Awesome stuff. Plus captain on debut and following in the old man's footsteps to lead his country. I see there is another brother doing well in domestic cricket.

 

[SeamUp]

Love how he quoted Rassie Erasmus in the speech & name drops him

Along the lines that this is not pressure but a privilege.

Neil Brand captained a very changed SA team on his debut in NZ last year. Naimur, Porterfield and Afghan were ofc debutants as well while captaining on their nation's test debuts.
Apart from these 4 special occasions, the last time a test debutant was captain was in 1995, when Lee Germon captained NZ in his debut test for a team consisting of players like Crowe, Cairns, Fleming etc.
