Re: 2nd Test | Zimbabwe V/s Pakistan | Harare

That was actually a decent over. Bowled them outside off and then bowled that one ball on off forcing the batsman in to a shot and producing the edge.

Not sure if he planned all that and did it that way or he just got lucky. Bit hard to tell with our guys as they don't tend to be of this ilk.

Re: Blessing Muzarabani appreciation thread

I like his action. It's very easy and free flowing. Reminds me of watching KG or Starc. If he had a bit more menace in his bowling, such as moving the ball off the seam, was able to add variation, hit those deadly lengths regulalry, he'd be one of the best in the game. I don't think Douggie is the c...

Re: 2nd Test | Zimbabwe V/s Pakistan | Harare

No one is saying Regis is elite at either batting or keeping, but of who is available he’s the best keeper/ batsman Zimbabwe have available for Tests. Looks like he might bat at No.3 this test so he has a chance to put in a decent score he desperately needs Oh I agree. Our current WK stocks are sho...

Re: 2nd Test | Zimbabwe V/s Pakistan | Harare

There are other current players with better stats and ability? Who are these magical people. - Murray? Hasn't played cricket in god knows how long. Not interested. - Moor? Hasn't kept wicket in a Test since 2016 I think. Is not as good as Regis with the gloves. Has not performed for the past two ye...

Averaging 25 in Tests for Zimbabwe is very good. Doing so whilst a wicketkeeper and mostly batting at number 7 or 8 is even better.
By Zim standards, as you say, there are others with better stats and ability. I'm not saying failure, just that the point you're making is weak

Re: 2nd Test | Zimbabwe V/s Pakistan | Harare

''Proven failure'' Chakabva has a higher Test average than anyone else other than Taylor in this team lol. If he's a failure then I dread to think how you'd describe the rest of the XI. Clutching at some serious straws there. There are 4 bowlers in this side, 3 brand new guys. A couple of youngster...

Re: Ryan Higgins

Only certain degrees can be studied online, mainly commercw type degrees I don't do a commerce degree and I am online If you want to play cricket. This timeout to study thing makes zero sense to me. Not if you want to be an elite cricketer. Yo I simply can’t take a 3/4 year sojourn. You’ll literall...

Re: Ryan Higgins

Just focusing on the study part because I agree with everything, by the fact that we rarely play cricket and when we do, it’s over the holiday period, isn’t it sort of ingrained in the design that there is plenty of time to study while playing cricket? I don’t know, to me it seems piss easy to be p...
