Re: Andy Flower: ICC Hall Of Fame Inductee

I remember at Harare against South Africa in 2001 in the first test he kept wicket for 10 hours without conceding a bye (SA 600-3 dec), after an hour with Zimbabwe 51-3 he batted for a combined total of 16...yes 16 hours (142 and 199*). That's almost super human...

Freesports which we have here in UK recently announced that they were showing all of Zimbabwe's series for the next 2 years or so. That included the 2 Test series v Pakistan.

Re: Future tour rumours

Namibia have just announced they are hosting Uganda for two 50 over, and 4 t20's, starting early April - and will be live streamed. Zimbabwe should certainly look to playing more of the top end asscoiates - the standard has never been higher - Namibia, Nepal, Scotland, UAE, Netherlands etc.. It also...

Re: The shots and the best Zimbabweans to play them

Grant Flower had a lovely cover/straight drive. Very high elbow. More recently, loved watching Brendan Taylor's lofted straight drive vs Pakistan. Beautiful shot.

Re: Derbyshire to tour Zimbabwe in March

Googly, did you mention this guy Munyeye is at Eastbourne College, and if so is he still there? My parents have a holiday home in Eastourne and I go there quite a bit (you can't turn down a free trip). If he's there I'd like to watch a game or two if possible. Private School cricket isn't a bad stan...

Re: Zimbabwe Official Cricket Schedule Out till October 2020

I was at a Scotland ODI in Edinbirgh earlier in the year, and people I spoke to there were angry about the amount Zim gets, and yet play so little cricket. Scotland have done brilliant things both on and off the pitch to promote the game there at all levels, with an absolute fraction of the money. T...
