More on Taibu's comeback in SL: https://www.firstpost.com/firstcricket/ ... 99041.html
He hit another 30 in a high scoring game that ended today. Should have gotten more than just a 30 there...

Re: Taibu bounces back to play in Sri Lanka
knew that I would walk into the domestic arena of Zimbabwe and score runs. I wanted something challenging. I like a challenge and I like to overcome a challenge," Taibu explains
He has some ego for a church man.......So, in terms of fitness, it's probably the easiest thing for me. I would not be lying if I said I am probably one of the fittest cricketers in the world. Without a doubt," he said.
He is also the definition of flakey.
Re: Taibu bounces back to play in Sri Lanka
I don't doubt Taibu would score a lot of runs domestically. The ZCF XI would be competitive.
Neil Johnson, Alistair Campbell, Murray Goodwin, Andy Flower (w), Grant Flower, Dave Houghton, Guy Whittall, Heath Streak (c), Andy Blignaut, Ray Price, Eddo Brandes

Re: Taibu bounces back to play in Sri Lanka
Got a stumping done in his latest match, to go with 2 more catches and 41 runs with the bat.
He now has 194 runs in 6 knocks since return at 32.33. 10 dismissals (9 catches + 1 stumping). Has got starts in all the knocks but hasn't kicked on.

Anyone else recon he’s going to try and make a “shock “ comeback for zim to prove a point ? The man loves it to much and changes his mind in life every 2 seconds
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!

Possible, but I don't think he has too many friends in the current selection panel?Andybligzz wrote: ↑Thu Jan 10, 2019 12:48 amAnyone else recon he’s going to try and make a “shock “ comeback for zim to prove a point ? The man loves it to much and changes his mind in life every 2 seconds

Re: Taibu bounces back to play in Sri Lanka
No he does not but if he comes back and churns out runs , the Board will likely have no choice( they actually will as they are corrupt
Dogs) . I honestly recon he will comeback and at least try . Why else is he doing this ? It doesn’t make sense to me. I recon he has regret about retiring , I think the last test win away has shocked him .

Re: Taibu bounces back to play in Sri Lanka
Mate great minds and all that! Was thinking the exact same thing. It's like when Graeme Smith and Michael Clarke retired; both went on record (smith actually in the commentary box) and said they miss playing and in hindsight probably needed a 6 month break.Andybligzz wrote: ↑Thu Jan 10, 2019 3:14 amNo he does not but if he comes back and churns out runs , the Board will likely have no choice( they actually will as they are corrupt

I reckon Taibu is gunning for a spot again, although it would be very obtuse and borderline Vermeulen territory.
Re: Taibu bounces back to play in Sri Lanka
Has a player ever held a position in the selection panel only to be selected years later in test cricket?
Seems absurd and shows what a mess Zimbabwe cricket is, Tibba should never have retired and I think you fellas are right he regrets it.
No point bringing him back IMO the side is already too old.
