ZIMs need crickters like flower brothers...

Post by vernonpurcell »

I think Zimbabwean Cricket is in need of cricketers like Andy Flower & Grant Flower....than they can come back to international competition. Because today's cricket can't be compared with 90's cricket...it is much fast.

Yeah it's easier said than done mate.
Andy Flower and Grant Flower were two different players. Flower was the guy with the class and the stroke play, while his younger brother Grant was a mucg more grittier, determined batter that had to work for his runs. Grant was very very very talented, but not as good as Andy though.

The thing is though, players like that don't come round very often for Zimbabwe. Wel....not any more.
If we had to pick players from the current squad that have the potential to be as good as the Flower sisters, they would be Williams, Chibahba, Ballance and S/C Ervine.....one could include Taylor, but his technique is not as solid as the men i've mentioned.
