its great that zimbabwe cricket is on the rise..but i am dissapointed at the bashing of "matsi"..although we would all like to express our veiws it is not morally correct to bash someone..yes we respect each others veiws but lets all be professional and keep our emotions to the side..and anyway "matsi has done well on the current tour" so let our criticism be fair..this is a great site even though i am not a regular visitor but i was kind of disappointed on my 2nd visit to see the hatred being thrown around..i hope this all stops..anyway all the best to our cricket..

cheers

Of all the sports forums I have been on this has always been the most enjoyable as people seemed to like each other. Their was no trolling, ranting or insulting posts. On the topic of Matsikenyeri it is different.

Let's get one thing straight:- Matsikenyeri is not currently one of the best 11 players in ZImbabwe. Something which is acknowledged by his stats and the Zimbabwe selectors.

However, he is one of the best 30 players in Zimbabwe. He has nearly played 100 first class matches and has played cricket on every continent. He is still only 27. He has an important role to play in representative cricket and the First Class game in Zimbabwe. Simples.

Let's hear no more of this bitching about peoples opinion of Matsikenyeri

He has a superior record to the likes of Gavin Rennie, Craig Wishart, Stuart Carlisle and Trevor Gripper but I don't remember them being the target of such criticism.

He also has a superior record to Ebrahim, Duffin & Coventry. But again no comments regarding their ability.

This could be a really interesting thread so can we get back on topic:-

How about the Rocks chances with a line-up that could include the following:-

Taibu, Matsikeneyri, S.Ervine, C.Ervine, Ireland, Mahwire, Tikolo, Chibhabha

Whay does the signing of Taibu mean for Alister Maregwede?
Hey Matsi!

Great point about Matsi, Gerald.

The hate for him on here is lunacy. It is very upsetting to see this. Matsi is young and has much to offer.

Have a great season.

A talented batsman but a modest, hardworking character, Stuart Matsikenyeri is the third of three school friends from Churchill Boys High School, Harare to represent Zimbabwe in international cricket. - Cricinfo.

Hey Matsi!


Not bickering here, just want to make the point that Matsi's record actually isn't superior to Carlisle's. Stuart Carlisle has 3 centuries in ODI cricket and averages 27.67. Matsi has no centuries and averages 22.63.

Good detective work there Zimdoggy.
