Re: Ryan Higgins Turned Down Zimbabwe Approach
Ya, absolutely credit where it’s due. I thought the whole Ballance fiasco would have stung them and put them off from raiding the diaspora. It kind of makes sense to be fair; he might be a little better than Evans or Faraz, who I’d say are the guys he’d be competing with for a place. Curious he men...

Re: 5th T20I | Zimbabwe vs Bangladesh | May 12, 2024
We just aren’t a T20 country Almost all our bats appear bedy classically trained. One of the reasons we seem to put up more of a fight in tests in terms of batting. What always surprises me with our guys is why they don’t swing more in the power plays. There’s way more room for error as you just ne...

Re: Ryan Higgins Turned Down Zimbabwe Approach
Credit where it’s due though, This is the sort of move ZC should be making. I hope it is part of a strategy and not just Dave going rogue or something At least they have put the seed in his mind. Let the idea grow. We have enough players overseas that can make a difference if we get a few back. Cart...

Re: 2004 Team v 2024 Team
There has been some analysis I read on Bradman years ago and it concluded in the modern day he would average about 65. I actually tend to agree. Remember in the entire cricket world he basically doubled the next guy. Those next guys for the most part would make the bulk of internationals today. He d...

Re: 2004 Team v 2024 Team
I think if Bradman was 30 today he would be the only batsman to hot a 200+ score in the IPL.

Re: 2004 Team v 2024 Team
Bradman hit six 6's in 53 tests and no 6's in 238 first class games. You'd have to move the boundary rope in about 50m before he could clear the rope. They actually did move the boundaries in. Ropes weren’t a thing back then. Also look at the skinny bats they used back then. Players can only really...

Re: ZC announce major restructure: Mhishi Committee
They will get applicants. I’d say the delay is getting the right guy. Someone who can motivate. Has a good history. And a trend of understdnding the political backdrop of ZC Perhaps they are negotiating a deal. I can’t imagine many Aussie coaches wanting to live in Zimbabwe as an example. Maybe nego...

Re: ZC announce major restructure: Mhishi Committee
no forum veterans coming out with headline scoop on who is in talks? I'd suck Andy's cock to get him in the seat, but I can't imagine they'd pay him enough for his services. Do we really have ZERO indication of who it might be? No cheeky photographs at ZC HQ? All we've got are guesses? The only reg...

Re: 2004 Team v 2024 Team
Yeah but teams like Uganda and Singapore were not as good in 2004 as they are now. Lets put Uganda and Singapore against Australia and India and see how they fare. What’s your argument? They’d obviously perform better today than they would’ve 20 years ago. No they would get annihilated, total carnage

Re: 2004 Team v 2024 Team
if we are talking ODI cricket, which I assume we are as we have only played like 2 Tests in the past 3 years and T20I didn't exist in 2004, - then there is absolutely no competition and the current 2024 side shits all over the 2004 one. Sorry, but they probably beat the 90's one as well. Cricket is...
