Re: charles choppa coventry
I dont have anything to tell but it does not mean its no suspicious. He made the squad, not for his form but his X-factor and then now he is out why put him there in the first place? I didn't even know about his run in with Curran.jimbo wrote:had a run in with Kevin curran during the west indies tour of 2005/2006 and got sent home early...so would not be the first time but lets not cast suspercions if there is nothing to tell

Isn't there a story behind everything that happens in Zimbabwean cricket?

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.

Exactly! I'm not sure if it's his guts or his audacity to hit those amazing shots that makes him so dangerous; either way he's got the talent.
And although we won the final, and a great final it was too, seeing Coventry in the side instead of stuart would have made the batting sheet look a lot more destructive, would you guys agree ?
I'll be the first to eat my words with gravy and mash if stuart comes good, i really hope he does, but i think we really need to move on.

Most people look better on the scorecard than Matsi. Although he did have a couple of useful knocks this series so he deserves some love.

Matsi was good company when needed , but the heavy lifting was done by the trio of Hammy, Vusi & BT ........eugene wrote:Most people look better on the scorecard than Matsi. Although he did have a couple of useful knocks this series so he deserves some love.
The one disappointment that i have though is that it seems Elton always survives on borrowed lives .

Re: charles choppa coventry
Choppa never did much after his 194 not out. I do think he has the talent to persevere with though. You can't just fluke a score like that. He needs to actually play Domestic cricket this season.
