Like Ervine, Burl looks more suited to long form cricket. I hope he gets an opportunity in the Test series against West Indies.

True. But he must earn that spot first though.

heard that Hami and Mire left and that the remaining guys have been offered more money. I think they were only given half of their money and the rest is supposed to come when they complete the tournament. it shows how desperate these guys are and how our economy has tanked. how do you expect somebody to turn down 20k when thats all they make the whole year? Also heard a rumour that BT was given all his money upfront. we need to create a level playing field for the guys otherwise this will keep on happening. if the rumours are true then BT better have Andy Flower stats by the time he is done.

Any criticism of Burl is very hash. I have watched a couple of the games and the pitch is slow and the outfield is very poor. Not easy batting conditions at all.

Burl played a great knock along with Raza to see his team home with 24 not out whilst Raza scored 33 from just 18 balls.

Look around you at ZCF. The fans approve.

Here in SA all races have turned against the "great" AB. In many ways Zim Cricket has very low standards.

You only need to look at Allistair Campbell. When I was telling people about him they were bashing me and my posts. Today he shows his full colours looking at his son-saga. It's crazy.

I still say journos like Tristan and Liam are useless. They should have produced an article by now into the Zim tour of Pakistan. Lots of dirt in there.

I take it that "some" cricticism of others is perfectly acceptable then.

ZCF for you! Ever swift to defend the indefensible, but never the blatantly obvious.

Hope that's true about them returning home. At least good to hear some news about Hamilton since the bomb blast. Mire was at least active in a game after the blasts.

Averaging 25 in a T20 comp is not a shocker by any means.

What of a 97 Strike Rate?

The great Vusi Sibanda is striking @104 not much difference between his S/R and Burl's
