Zimbos to take part in Bangladesh Premier League 2017-18

[aydee]

Raza played best innings of this bpl so far.

Wonderful to watch Raza's innings today!

Presumably that is the highest ever score by a Zimbo in a foreign T20 competition?...

Looks like a great knock!

Good question. Murray Goodwin got 102 in one of his T20 knocksin England. Not sure how that gets classified in terms of "Zimbo" and "foreign T20 competition". Confusing setup

Playing at the Bangladesh Premier League, A Pakistani born Scotland educated Zimbabwean cricketer came very close to beating the highest score record of a Zimbabwe born Australia raised player made at the English T20 league, playing there as a local.

Very good!

Let's say Goodwin doesn't count. As you say, he was a local by then! Has Ervine got a T20 ton too? If so, that doesn't count either! haha.

Then the BPL is indeed of poor quality as I said! Seems to me the Afghan league was more challenging.

Smacked around a bunch of non-bowlers(Bresnan aside). I don't think any Province in Zimbabwe currently has an attack that poor, and I don't any reserve/varsity league attack in SA is that poor.

That Cremer hasn't played so far is no accident. No one wants to gift easy runs in this format. Hopefully that snub will urge him to seriously work on his game.

All the same it's a great knock, and one to be celebrated.

I think this knock of his (although slightly outshone by the naturally dangerous Elton) remains his best.

Shakib and Mushfiqur have been horrible with the bat!

Shahid Afridi continues to prove his class.

Cremer getting a gig in the Semi Final. Played the other day and took 3-15

Cremer is a world-class leggie especially when it comes to T20s. It's good to see him finally make it to that XI! It didn't help him that Rashid Khan and Hasan Ali were in the same team as him.

I see both Mire and Cremer had ducks int heir debut BPL games...

Cremer had a duck in the bowling and batting front, while Mire got a very fortunate wicket. Dropped next game, but as some have pointed out, Cremer did much better than the first.

The BPL is a low class tournament. At the end of it all it will be interesting to see what the general view is about Zimbabwean players and their worth. Warming the bench and missing out to players they should be superior and more experienced to won't inspire much confidence.

Throw in the fact that ZIM will go into a qualifier without domestic cricket or action in such tournaments, having being considered only worthy to sit on the bench for the greater part of it - while many are either playing Intercontinental Cup/Bi-Laterals plus participating in T20 Leagues, definitely means ZIM is the one team that goes in the weakest.

Disaster pending! Thank you Pakistani!!! Wish you many more years in ZC!

Did you even watch the Shpageeza? You're actually **** if you think BPL is worse than that. Cremer hasn't played because Comilla preferred Rashid, you're such a basic person and it shows from your lack of info. Are you even watching any of the games? Did you see the "fortunate wicket" live? No? Then shut the **** up. You are a clueless **** being negative for no reason. Go watch a game you useless ****. Cremer had been bowling great and that 3fa also included a drop which could have been #4. Even saying cremer got a duck is a useless comment, he's a bowler who can hold a stick. And Mire's ball literally rolled.... Did you watch any?

If this gets taken down for language that's poor , pariah is actually spitting out dog shit. Dont let it go in answered.
