This is a topic I dedicate to no name bashing,jibes or ill talk of ALL the players whom I respect for staying behind and playing back home..It wont be fun for the bashers or ill talkers but can be used as strategy formulating forum and loking onto ONLy positive contribution by us as a community for the upcoming zimbabwe cricket season...

Thats a great idea Ruswa. We dont have anything to lose by highlighting the POSETIVES of our "beloved" ZIMBABWE CRICKET!!!!

When does the season start and do you have a list of the fixtures?
thanks

All i know is that the Mountaineers are opening their first game vs Mash Eagles at Mutare Sports club on September 2. I will get the full fixture as soon as it is ready

great now we gotaplce where heads can get together and try propose ways for us to get ahead

A few positives to come out of the win over Netherlands:

- Craig Ervine confirmed that he has the temperament required for First Class cricket which will hopefully translate into good performances in Test cricket.
- Rainsford led from the front opening the bowling by taking key wickets
- Chakabva's batting was impressive, he needs to bat higher up the order and Maruma needs to bat at about number 8.
- Under a bit of pressure to do well, there were some solid performances by Matsikenyeri

positives to the rocks would be the signing of matsi and taibu. Along with ervine they be a handy side this year.

If they acquire one or two good bowlers they will be the strongest franchise this season. Sean Ervine, Craig Ervine, Taibu, Chamu Chibhabha, Steve Tikolo... and Eagles without Chigumbura. Unmatchable.

Positives from the Netherlands win:

Craig Ervine marked his class with the bat and proved that he's got both a solid temperament and technique for the first class game (And possibly test Cricket in time).

Stuart Matskinyeri worked hard at the top of the order and built a solid platform for Craig Ervine to get his century.

Ed Rainsford has once again proved that he's a genuine new ball threat, and sounded like he was bowling with some serious heat

Yet some people claim Matsi is not one of the top 55 cricketers in the country.

Astonishing some people's lack of judgement

If that's a dig at me mate then you need to calm down. I'm complimenting his hard work at the top of the order, though that doesn't automatically put him back in the international frame. He needs to prove himself at first class cricket before he makes a come back, if he ever does
