Warriors obviously without a lot players & EC Linyathi (Border) with a few former EP players beat them yesterday.

Interesting to see Christopher King (JPs bro or cousin) also gone down to PE

 

[SeamUp]

They made an error including Raeeq Daniels as he was born before 1 September 2006

The squad picked for Zim (starts 15 Sep)

WP 4
KZN C 3
Titans 2
Lions 2
KZN I 2
FS 1
NW 1


Bulbullia [SA Colts 2023 & NW HP Contract for 24/25]
van Schalkwyk [SA Schools 2023]
Lagadien [Dynamic. Broke the record for highest score (big double) at Bishops Frank Reid Oval which lasted over 30 years]
Hockly [Scoring 100s for Hilton, best u19 Inland T20 Bash batsman & now out-performing contracted Tuskers in their PL]
Rowles [Only 2008 & an absolute gun. Classy and dominant LHB]
Phahlamohlaka [Tall & dominant. Titans gave him an HP contract. In the trial match looked good back-foot player]
James [Performed at U19 weeks at 16 end of last year & best WP junior bat since Bird/D Smith]
Bosman [Been excellent at both SA U17 camps, adaptable middle order player and classy LHB]

Leketa [Kroonstad Hub to St Andrews Bloem; played FS Colts 23/24]
Kleinsmith [Maybe a surprise pick over Cannata but they were always taking a wrist-spinner]

Soni [SA Schools 2023; Young Guns Fast-bowling camp, tall, angles into right-handers]
Majola [16 at the U19 Coke Week; nicking top-order batsmen off ; Young Guns Fast-bowling camp]
Boyce [16 at Cubs Week; seems a very flexible mover in his run up, good speeds ; Young guns Fast-bowling camp]
Basson [Think Marco Jansen]
Rajah [Need to see more]

These games are coming soon.

Mohammed Bulbullia

Scored 135* and 67 for SA U19 opening the batting, hopefully he can make it at senior level

Like the look of him. Very Amla-like in the way he caresses the ball.

Hockly scores quickly without taking risks. Just good cricket shots both sides of the wicket. A bit of Bedingham.

 

[SeamUp]

No real surprises for first Div 1 squad.

Just Josh van Heerden, Sisanda Magala & Gerald Coetzee (injury) not in from contracted players not with Proteas or CSA contracted.

Pretorius/Brand
Petersen/van Briesies
Makhanya
Brevis

Ferreira
C Bosch/ M Boast

Crazy. Zimbabwe cricket is so bad. Their emerging were similarly out of their depth.

All the batsman have filled their boots. Whilst maybe only Basson, Majola & Soni have showed they can move forward for the England tour in the bowlers (which may include some of the 06s not eligible of next U19 CWC).

Titans smashed the Lions. Schoolboy stars Lhuandre Pretorius & Kwena Maphaka showing their quality. Evan Jones showing he should be signed next week in the auction.

I think Dian Forrester needs to move on from the Knights.
Less talented players will try to bring you down to their level and make you wait longer for that international call up , it happened with a lot of players at domestic level.

Wp could do with him titans and lions have enough players , warriors, north west, etc..

A top order bat who bowls should be wanted by every team , there aren't that many around in World Cricket

It's going to be between Knights, NW & Boland for relegation. It seems like that determines a lot of player movement now.

NW lost important POC and it could effect them this season. A surplus of white players who need to be playing like van Tonder, de Swardt and Gideon Peters.

Good start to Forrester's Div 1 career.

He went to Affies but I think he is originally from Limpopo Province like Dale Steyn and Marchant De Lange.
