Re: 2004 Team v 2024 Team

Quick half hour net session to get used to the feel of these modern bats and a run down on what white ball bowling is about and old Bradman would boss it I reckon. In the absence of video analysis, wikipedia reckons he was stepping outside of leg to manufacture golf and tennis shots into the offside...

Re: 2004 Team v 2024 Team

If our current team is so awesome why does a 40 year old BT who won’t have played in 3 and a half years by the time his ban is served walk straight into it? :lol:

Re: 2004 Team v 2024 Team

If Bradman is in the equation then minefield uncovered pitches have to be too. Can’t see Travis Head bossing it on one of them with the ball spitting everywhere. I thought Bradman always played it along the floor anyway so he wouldn’t get caught, must have been looking to declare with those six test...

Re: ZC announce major restructure: Mhishi Committee

The other current thread has concluded this 2024 side are world beaters and streets ahead of the 2004 and various 90s sides, clearly it’s the easiest and most in demand head coach gig in world cricket and they’ve had like a million applicants. It’s taken like six months just to weed out half the uns...

Re: 2004 Team v 2024 Team

Significantly better on paper, the game has moved on but we haven’t. Young BT would make a decent 50 striking at 84.78 or something, powering the 2004 side to an under par 117. The 2024 side would come out guns blazing, totally bottle it, be 3 down in the power play. Raza would fancy a bit of Ed Rai...

Re: State of SA

If they're going to look after some older guys next season so they dont have to sell Buddy cards at the street lights there's actually room for a 6th franchise. Playing out of Vic Falls naturally and will take many business trips to get off the ground :lol: :lol: I feel outraged at the cultural mis...

Re: State of SA

The sack the transformation targets off for a World Cup because they want the best chance of winning, they’ll be back for meaningless bilateral’s though. Shows how much faith they really have in the system. Agreed, but still a bold step. Ya, agreed bro! A sole black man in the squad 30 years on fro...

Re: 2004 Team v 2024 Team

Crazy twenty years later that we’re awaiting BT to make his comeback and be the saviour of the team aged 40 and fresh from a fixing ban :lol: :lol:

Re: ZC to build new cricket stadium in Gweru

Nah, bro’s ain’t coming to watch Durham on their pre season :lol: 10k capacity when the justification was HSC and Queens aren’t big enough with their 10k capacity :lol: I’d seen ZC are fronting the dollar and will own the ground for 25 years, but then what? Whose ground is it then ? and they reckon ...
