Re: Match Thread: 2nd ODI Zimbabwe v Ireland

Is it finally sinking in that we've been very lucky of late with some of our results, a la T20WC, Bang series etc. We really need a new batting coach and an overhaul of the coaching set up. Just know that in a few years time the team will be coached by Prosper and Elton. Things are going to get muc...

Re: Zimbabwe vs Ireland | 1st T20I | 7 November 2023

Anyone else notice how Ed Rainsford managed to sneak back into commentating a Zim match at home. I had long suspected they had bad blood after he turned down that board post during those suspension days. Then from there I think he would only be commentating on away games or ICC events when it came ...

Re: Logan Cup 1st Round (Tuskers vs Eagles & Mountaineers v Southern Rocks)

What if Chatara outperforms every bowler now that he is playing domestic? Could we not have a similar situation like the big 3 where the other guys just aren't good enough? I would actually say our fast bowling options are a lot less than our batting options. After Evans, Gwandu and Chivanga who el...

Re: Uganda Vs Rawanda | 30th November 2023| ICC T20 World Cup Africa qualifiers | Miracle needed

One more topic that has been downplayed this series has been the poor form our marquee batsman has been in. Sean looked kinda disinterested and i know he was not but we did not really see the Sean Williams of the ODI qualifiers for example. Getting dumped from the Test captaincy a few weeks ago (wh...

Don’t worry chaps, young Naqvi will be qualified next time round and the answer to all our prayers.
He’s about our only hope these days. There’s literally no one else coming through the domestic system. Not 1 should be anywhere near international cricket except this guy.

I missed the whole match but what was with Wellington batting at 6 and Wes at 8? Just looks really bad after losses like that.

Re: Zimbabwe Vs Namibia | ICC T20 Qualifier | 22 November 2023

Losing to Scotland and Namibia is one thing but surely there’s no suggestion that Zim is in any danger against Tanzania, Rwanda etc. Namibia will win all their games and Zim will win their remaining games. The rest will be way behind on points with 1 or 2 wins each so even a couple of washouts won’t...

Re: 2023-2031 FTP news, updates, etc

Are Ireland still touring in January? And is the one off Test still on the docket? If not, the next ZIM tests wouldn't be until this summer vs Bangladesh... Doesn't look like it. There should be the postponed Afghanistan series before the Bangladesh series that will probably be played in March Zimb...

Re: 2023 ODI World Cup Discussion

Afghanistan choked hard. Maxwell had a lot of lives early on and that easy catch that went down was like a switch. He was unstoppable after that.
