Yeah maybe in-house and he decided to announce his retirement instead and they gave him that option. It means that in theory he could start playing tomorrow. Two shit tobacco seasons and he could be back :lol: That whole episode was annoying. People had set a lot of store in him bolstering our side...

Would not mind Raza at number 3 or Burl. Give them some licence in power play.

Byt why 3? why not give them the chance to face the maximum 120 balls?

I cant fault a Raza/Burl opening combo.
Raza especially. You need your best T20 player to open with the powerplays, espexially when surrounded by dregs.

Burl can hit early 6s and be of use

They are all focusing on the next WC I’d say.
Maybe Ervine the England test so his bro can watch but I think he will kick on as he is fit enough and no one is really knocking at the door

4x 40 yr olds in the team isn’t really the problem I don’t think. Not for a team of limited talent like Zimbabwe. What is the problem is they all retire pretty much at once after the next WC. Succession planning will be a nightmare. Countries don’t like key people retiring at the same time. We would...

Can the rest of the forum please finally admit now that as good as he is and has been for us, that he is not a world class player? As I (and Pat) have been saying and getting grief for? The closest that we have to world class though, at least. This might be the issue with those who (once) were call...

Marumani played most of his match as opener, with his technique he doesn't survive in newball. So i like to see him in lower order pinch hitter. My 3rd T20i Xl (I know it's not even going to happen in a practice match :lol: ) Burl Raza(c) Ervine Madande Bennett Campbell Marumani(w) Jongwe Wellingto...

A run a ball 43 in an embarrassing thrashing. How face saving can that be? Very good by Zim standards though. He's OK. In fact ZC X state that it was heroic batting in vain as Bangladesh ease to victory. It was sensible batting getting us to 120 which on an exceptionally lucky day gives the bowlers...

For the first time in maybe a decade I got that feeling of a change of guard. Well played Bennet and Campbell. Well played. They have to drop the 2 openers from today and bring back Burl and Williams then we give it a real try for the next game. That might mean they sneak in Faraz for Jongwe becaus...
