Re: 2023-2031 FTP news, updates, etc

This is good. The Rising Stars programme had a lot of talent and I think 9 or 10 of them played at least one game for Zim. I hope it’s more of an ‘A’ squad than an emerging squad. Guys around the national team already like Gumbie, Evans, Welch Sr, Bennet, Myers and Campbell can use those matches to ...

Re: 5th T20I | Zimbabwe vs Bangladesh | May 12, 2024

What I did notice about Marumani was that when he did get that score of about 30 he was nervous at the beginning but once he got his first comfortable boundary he seemed a lot more confident. Suggests to me it’s a mental thing but at the same time he is 40 international games in with 1 half century ...

Re: Sean Williams retiring from T20i

The time has come. I would like to see Welch, Wes and K-long come in for Craig, Sean and Gumbie against India. Although Gumbie might be needed to play Craig’s role. Myers has to do a full season to send the right message to young players I think

Re: Sean Williams retiring from T20i

To be honest I just want them to hang on until the England test. There are quite a few test matches lined up over the next 12 months. The SA and NZ are scheduled to play tests against us next year. I would be very surprised if they cancel all of them. To me it just officially confirms Sean’s semi re...

Re: 5th T20I | Zimbabwe vs Bangladesh | May 12, 2024

Whispers saying Williams may be retiring with a possibility of Ervine as well. Will keep updated. Interesting. Whether it’s true or not is not the point for me. What worries me is that these retirements can still happen much closer to the 2027 World Cup. If it’s true I hope they play the India seri...

Re: 5th T20I | Zimbabwe vs Bangladesh | May 12, 2024

Marumani needs to be given the Shumba treatment. They both need to grind like how Gumbie, Kaia and Campbell had to grind. Or even how they have made K-Long really work for it. A lot of his issues have to do with inexperience as well. There was no need for him to try go that hard against one of the b...

Even Williams not coming in at 4 is a sign.

Re: 5th T20I | Zimbabwe vs Bangladesh | May 12, 2024

Overall this series was important because we had other guys stand up. Bennet and Campbell have bought themselves at least 3 games against India, if not all 5. I will say it again, you could sense the change of guard for the first time. Craig was carrying drinks and he didn’t seem bothered. I think d...

Re: 5th T20I | Zimbabwe vs Bangladesh | May 12, 2024

Should have won the 4th T20 tbh, this should have been 3-2 instead of 4-1, anyways, congratulations on a fine victory guys. One more win would have given such a good chance for direct qualification for T20 WC. So true. We missed a big opportunity to qualify directly. Don’t know what the rankings wi...

Re: 5th T20I | Zimbabwe vs Bangladesh | May 12, 2024

Luke Jongwe. Another delivery above waist height in his final over. Wasn’t called a no-ball this time but it has been called 2 other times this series. If it’s possible to bet on this I’m opening a bet 365 account for the India series.
