We are now ahead of namibia in rankings. Be good to beat Uganda and also South africa should we meet. Couple of wins against Bangladesh in May will seal us automatic qualification hopefully for 2016 World cup. Namibia and Scotland are right at your heels. If Namibia were ahead, 1 game will only put...

You can blame the ICC for putting the tournament slap bang in the middle of the Blast. I'm usually pretty hawkish on mandatory release but the Blast is bankrolling a lot of Counties and most of these guys are white ball specialists. The Blast is a substantial part of what they're getting paid for, a...

News going around the circle is . Netherlands will miss their entire group of county guys except bas de leede . apparently Tom Cooper is not available too. So they will be missing services of ackerman, klassen, van meekeren, van der merwe, van der gugten . Might miss services of van Beek and Tim Pr...

Yeah Zimbabwe and Netherlands definitely still favourites. I usually come over as very down on the Dutch but it's mostly just because weaknesses are more interesting to talk about and sometimes less obvious than strengths. Also it's a bit of a hedge because then when they lose at least I have the co...

This tourney will be a bit of a different game from the England series, from what you tell me about the grounds at Bulawayo. The Dutch have been playing on absolute roads the last two series. Losing Seelaar not ideal, never a proper bat but they've no defensive spinners now apart from maybe Floyd. T...

Cheers, SZ. Much obliged.

Hey guys, BdJ here, long time lurker occasional commenter. Being as this is the only place on the internet where people talk sense about ZIM cricket was hoping I could outsource some research. Has anyone had a look at Queens and BAC recently? How are the squares looking? What can we expect for the Q...

Fairly sure that the Dutch think they're playing Afghanistan in January now, amusingly enough. Smart play from ZC if they're trying to get NED over without the County players, though it hardly matters now that the Super League's being canned. Unlike the T20Q of course, which looks like it might clas...

It's bad that Netherlands and now Afghanistan are calling the shots. Yea the Zimbabwe top brass need to say something about this. Its poor form You guys know it wasn't the Dutch that long-grassed the Super League series again, right? You think they want to pay for flights twice? They'd be playing Z...

I would be surprised if many of the cricketers are pro-Taliban. Wasn't cricket in Afghanistan founded by people who fled the Taliban. Not really. In fact arguably the opposite. Afghan cricket actually shares much of its roots with the Taliban, which was itself founded in large part by Pashtun refug...
