Brian Mavuta is reveling at the call-up for the selectors have sort of decided build the team to be centered around the Rising Stars academy with Brendan Taylor and Kyle Jarvis looking to add more experience to a squad that in essence still has a lot to learn

By Perkins-Tino Bare It was expected that the Chevrons would lose to the Proteas but noone would`ve imagined that they`d lose by an innings and 120 runs inside 2 days. The Chevrons were blown away in such a maner that the match only lasted 907 balls and discours has been more on how we can close the gap between the top tier nations and the lower ranked nations in the name of Zimbabwe, Ireland and Afghanistan. 'It seemed they were justbetter than us. We were blown away by their seamers. they didn`t let up, they hit their areas consistently, there was just enough in the wicket and we didn`t adjust to that" said the Chevrons captain Graeme Cremer in a post-match interview. He later added "We knew it was going to be tough, but maybe not this tough. We know we have a long way to go, especially in Test Cricket and in conditions which are not flat . when   it`s seaming around and bouncing and turning - we need to get used to that .
