Re: Hilton Cartwright to make Test Debut for Australia

Would be a good time now to entice Hilton back to his country of birth. The West Australian should look at what Murray Goodwin did years ago with great success. Would be a huge asset to Zim cricket in all formats.

Re: Zimbabwe Vs West Indies | 1st Test | 4-8 Feb 2023 | Bulawayo

We would have been walloped if we'd had 5 full days of cricket. We have to find a way of getting through their openers early because they don't look too sharp after. Our seamers don't look threatening, not assisted by a very flat deck. They've got a lethal opening combo with Joseph and Roach and ou...

Re: Zimbabwe Vs West Indies | 1st Test | 4-8 Feb 2023 | Bulawayo

Houghton’s teams are different. And I’m here for it The way he's coaching them...as a Man United fan it feels nice to see another bald head coach changing a team in red for the better! Would much rather risk a win that aim for a feeble draw. If we angleshot for the draw from day 4, that's the equiv...

Re: Zimbabwe Vs West Indies | 1st Test | 4-8 Feb 2023 | Bulawayo

Sad that Williams is out for the second Test according to Ervine. You have to wonder how many more opportunities he will get to play Test cricket in his home town. I expect Chivanga will come in. Ngarava was injured? Id probably bring him in for Nyauchi though. Although none of the seamers were imp...

Re: Zimbabwe Vs West Indies | 1st Test | 4-8 Feb 2023 | Bulawayo

I don’t think we are ever going to agree Doggy :lol: for me Ervine is a 3, Ballance is a perfect 4. Williams is good at 5 because he can accelerate and bat with the tail a bit better than the other two. I don’t think you will convince me on Ballance opening!!! For now Kaia is locked in and Makoni w...

Re: Zimbabwe Vs West Indies | 1st Test | 4-8 Feb 2023 | Bulawayo

Why are people wanting to put square pegs in round holes? Ervine is a number 3 and Ballance is a number 4. Bat them in their normal positions!!!! Williams at his usual 5. and in an ideal world if he can be bothered with Tests then Burl at 6 and a keeper at 7. Ideal world is from 3 to 7 Ervine Balla...
