Re: Your Best First XI
There is an oversupply of sheep-shaggers in this process. They must draw straws.

Re: Your Best First XI
The 8 selectors are:
To clarify the rules because I've had a few PM's suggesting it's not clear: your job is to choose the best First XI from the pool of players that have played at least 1 Test for Zimbabwe in the 2011-2017 era. So for example, Tinashe Panyangara is a valid selection but Grant Flower is not. Tino Mawoyo is a valid selection but Tinotenda Mutombodzi is not, Ray Price is valid but Piet Rinke is not.
To everyone who missed out, I'll figure out a second competition where those that didn't play this one will have precedence.brmtaylor.com admin wrote: ↑Mon Oct 16, 2017 1:22 pmParticipants:

Googly will probably claim there aren't 11 cricketers left in Zimbabwe.foreignfield wrote: ↑Tue Oct 17, 2017 7:25 amMaybe the non-native fans are only more visible due to the comparativly small number of native fans?eugene wrote: ↑Mon Oct 16, 2017 7:12 pmIs it possible Zimbabwe has more non-native fans than any other test playing country?CrimsonAvenger wrote: ↑Mon Oct 16, 2017 3:42 pmRight, an Aussie creates a thread on Zim first XI and an Englishman, an Indian, a South African, a Bangladeshi and a New Zealander sign up.

Anyway, I'd much like to see the XIs of our real and resident Zimbos, like Googly or Conant--so I'll pass.

Can you pick a batsman at a batting position he hasn't batted at? e.g. Open with BT ?brmtaylor.com admin wrote: ↑Tue Oct 17, 2017 10:58 amThe 8 selectors are:
