Chances in the World Cup

Post by sloandog »

I've just read a small article in " The Wisdon Cricketer" about each and every team (Both full memeber and associate sides) chances of lifting the cup. The man who wrote the article was Robin Jackman and it said ;

" Zimbabwe, who were finalists in the 2003 World Cup, are slowly re-building after political upheavel in the middle of the Noughties. Of the smaller and less recognised country's, Zimbabwe have the brightest prospects on the subcontinent. Wicketkeeper Brendon Tayor, Hamilton Mazakadza, Raymond Price and (Quoted) "Un-earthed pace sensation" Kyle Jarvis are the linchpins. Talented pair Andrew Blignaut and Sean Ervine, who quit Zimbabwe in protest against the board in 2004, are attempting comebacks. The domestic structure in Zimbabwe has been rebuilt enabling Former Cricketers to return such as Greg Lamb, who has been tipped for an ODI debut against the West Indies next month. Things are on the rise for Zimbabwe, and what what better place than the World Cup to prove themselves to the cricketing world."

Under the Atricle is a caption of Andy Blignaut bowling in the 2003 CWC.

It's nice to see that more people are beginning to recognise Zimbabwes progression, and to have it in the "Wisdon Cricketer" is a huge breakthrough. :D

I had to copy it Jamthala as it's not been published on the Internet. I've got the article next to me. But yeah you're right it's a very posative view of Zimbabwe Cricket.
