The all-time Zim "heavyweights" XI

[CrimsonAvenger]

Random XI stuff while we await the ODI team selection for the upcoming series. What is an all-time "heavyweights" XI for Zim? Should have at least played FC cricket, should have been "heavyweights" during their playing days

Tino Mawoyo
Kevin Kasuza
Hamilton Masakadza
Brendan Taylor (wk)
Charles Kunje
Craig Evans
Prince Masvaure
Richie Kaschula
Eddo Brandes
Stephen Peall
Tinashe Panyangara

Can anyone do better?

[zimstarr]

Terrence duffin
Tino mawoyo
Alistair campbell
Hamilton masakadza
Brendan Taylor
Prince masvaure

Gregory strydom
Gavin Ewing
Heath streak
Eddo brandes
Tinashe panyangara

[jaybro]

Piet Rinke ???

[ZIMDOGGY]

What other country in the world can post such a team and be almost equal or stronger than the current 11!

[Andybligzz]

Prosper utseya ?

[Kriterion_BD]

Is this is a team of overweight cricketers?

[CrimsonAvenger]

Alistair campbell

I think he was normal during his playing days. May not qualify.

But yes, Streak can get in if Evans can. Both with strong and burly build.

And Peall vs Strydom is anyone's guess.

Duffin and Rinke are good additions. Prosper was OK in his playing days I guess.

What other country in the world can post such a team and be almost equal or stronger than the current 11!

Yeah, I can't think of any other team being this competitive even if they choose their best heavyweights.

Is this is a team of overweight cricketers?

Not necessarily overweight alone - as Hamilton, Taylor and Streak can't be called overweight as such - just the strong and burly cricketers mixed with some overweights

[CrimsonAvenger]

And what if they take on this lightweight XI?

Neil Ferriera
Vusi Sibanda
Dion Ebrahim
Sean Williams
Tatenda Taibu (wk)
Richmond Mutumbami
Tinotenda Mutombodzi
Wellington Masakadza
Chris Mpofu
Blessing Muzarabani
Anthony Ireland

Kamungozi was all legs and dick

[CrimsonAvenger]

Yeah, but with Mutombodzi and Wellington making up the spin brigade in my line up, Kamungozi misses out even in this XI

May be he can replace Ferriera and open the batting...
