One team has two spinners , where would the team be playing ?
The Zimbabwe Cricket team have found Ebola in one of their members, but they're not concerned because they have also found Ebatsmen and Efielda!

You cannot sacrifice Hami as an opener and also include Cremer in your XI, then still claim to be serious!

400 to NZ (make that 500 if you throw in Napier years ago but we'll stick to recent Tests)
700 to SL
100 to WI already (make that 300 if you add tour to WI before that)


The kind of junk that's tolerated is truly befuddling! :?

The only thing that's changed is the quality of the batsmen. The current NZ, SL and WI is significantly weaker, and Cremer is still just as poor.

Narrow mind and far too much time on his hands. Even naming his documents. What a winner.

Cremer = best spinner
Ervine/Taylor = best batsmen

Everybody here knows it. Discussion over

hhm thinks his side would be "the only one" to beat a top 9 side, lol. dream on.

your captain averages 17, and has never hit a hundred. your spinner has a strike rate in ODIs that other teams' spinners have in Tests. and your all-rounder trundles in at 120 kph and has a minus 25 average run differential per wicket (scores only 21 runs per dismissal, yet concedes 46) which is your measure for Williams and Raza.

Your XI wouldn't even beat Netherlands forget about Afghanistan.

Top 9 :lol: Leave Bangladesh out of this. I specifically left them out because they pose absolutely no threat in Tests outside of BD against decent cricketers.

My ZIM side would easily thump even this "improved post-2013" BD in ZIM!

Don't like the fact that there is no Ry Price in my team but if I chose the other there would be no Panyangara either so I guess team H for me.

This thread is to facilitate a ZCF vote, it isn't about you. Juts vote for a team if you like it, or abstain if you don't like either team.

Your point? The Windies would get thumped in BD, so would NZ, and probably SL and PAK. So that means we need to take them out too and talk of a top 4. But then England and SA get thumped in the SC too and the Aussies have won 3 of their last 30 in that part of the world. And the Indians and Pakistanis have a similar record overseas.

Looks like its the top 0 after all.

But here's the definite argument. We have middle order batsmen who average 17 in overseas conditions and that as you know is the world class average of Vusi in the middle order.

Nine or none.
