ZRS Have been rolled for 113 by a college first team

Post by sloandog »

You read it correctly. A lad who I play 1st team cricket with said his best mates college 1st XI faced the ZRS and bowled them out for 113. Said the bowlers had some gas but were all over the shop and were easy to score off. Hardly inspires confidence, does it?

Wow..how good is this college team? That's the real question. It definitely is a cause for concern. I read an article where Taibu was saying people over there are really curious about Blessing Muzarabani coz of his height. From what I remember he sprays it everywhere. I guess the coaches have a lot work to do. As long as there is some talent to work with

Is ZRS the academy team Taibu organized on a tour of the UK?

Who is in the squad? Any players with first class experience?

The squad has been posted elsewhere on the forum.
One of the lads mentioned Muzarabani and was absolutely shocked at how big he was. Said he was a strongly built lad as well, said he must have been about 6ft8/9? Surely there's something to work with there

Haha cant say im suprised with the absolute heap of garbage squad thats gone there ! Muzarabani is 6ft8 odd but nowhere near strongly built. Hes must weigh 60kgs. An absolute stick man with no accuracy. That Ziwira is absolutely hopeless too. Ngarava couldnt buy a wicket at club level in Yorkshire last year and is now playing for our national team? Sigh What really grinds me is how smug these kids were when they were told they were in this team, so high and mighty and now getting smashed by school teams. Shocking.

That's a poor standard of cricket. What's going to happen when they play a County side?
