his wife didnt let him out for the weekend.

Dropped, he's been shocking this season-deserved too.

Must be the ZCF curse that was put on him.

Well thats the choice he made for his "family" who obviously aren't prepared to stick by him thick n thin like he thought.

He will arrive home in 2 years another Greg lamb fringe player.

Here's a poll, batting alone- who's better? Sean or Craig ?

hopefully he is dropped & then he regrets his decision to turn his back on zim (he has been terrible this season)

There's a certain delicious irony in that.

Shame actually feel sorry for the dude well I wish him the best, and if he is what people say he is then I am sure he will come back.

I would have tyo say Craig there, Why cos he plays for Zimbabwe and Sean doesnt.

I disagree, Lamb is a better all rounder, even if the traitor returns, I doubt he'd do better than Lamb who lit up the domestic scene with both bat and ball and will only improve with international experience(and likely to be the surprise package in our test team), while the traitor's best days are gone. His brother is also a better, more consistent batsman.

I was really impressed with Craig when I saw him in SA and at the world cup he seemed so cool and confident. Solid.

i guess alot of batsmen are like this to some degree but Craig to me appears very shaky early on...

He plays and misses and doesnt have his eye in at all....and looks nervous

Once he faces 20x balls or so he settles down a bit. But boy he makes me nervous when he first gets to the crease.


I shudder at the thought when i think back to game 2 at the WC when we lost a few quick wickets early on against canada and Craig came within a whisker of getting out on 2. (my memory eludes me but i think he french cut it right next to his stumps.... full credit to him for getting over it and kicking on for a matchwinning innings. But that could have gotten very very ugly if the fickle finger of fate was to give zim the middle finger with a f*ck you. We may have lost.
