Re: Zimbabwe A Vs South Africa A! June

Where I agree with Sloan is that Chatara didn't bowl 140 in the Test match against Pakistan. In the few Tests he played under a speed gun I only remember one or two quicker deliveries touching 140 in the West Indies. Are you forgetting that he clocked 144 or 144.5 in the Dhaka Test in 2014? I remem...

Re: ZFC Poets Corner

Nice way for Burl to get off the mark; I believe Sean Williams is the leading rhyme scorer in this thread, just ahead of Hamilton. Has Sean featured so much in this thread? It would be nice to keep a count on this for sure :) By my count he has featured in five poems in the thread, Hamilton in four...

Re: Zimbabwe A Vs South Africa A! June

Chatara regularly hit 140 in the WC in Oz, and then he broke his leg and hasn't hit 130 since. In the domestic matches that where streamed I reckon he bowled around 120 kph max.

Re: Zimbabwe 2004 v Zimbabwe 2021

I assume you are talking ODIs and not Tests, but Mupariwa is overrated anyway. And I'd probably take the promise of Wes over the proven false promise of Vusi 2004. He had his best years in the very early 2010s--I believe he averaged under 20 in all forms of international cricket prior to 2011.

Re: Spin bowling talents in Zimbabwe

Did not watch Masara in any of the matches. But definitely impressed in general with whatever I saw of Chipungu. And Jonathan Campbell as well. Masara, from what little I saw, doesn't look to turn the ball at all; much like Kamungozi if anyone remembers our secret T20 WC "weapon" from some years ag...
