What i dont understand is[quote][/quote] why everone keeps singing this Coventry song when the guy has been clearly out of form even on the domestic scene. Lets leave Muzhange in and Cremer looks like he derserves a spot judging from his last perfomamce in the tri series aganist SA AND BD, may be we could play around with Waller and chigs.Our batting tends to faulter alot underpressure so lets leave Mastikenyeri in. So a good team would be Vusi sibanda,HAMILTON MASAKADZA,TAYLOR, MASTI,Taibu,Chigumbura ,Waller/Jarvis,Creamer,chris mpofu,Richard muzhange

So was Vusi when I remember only me and sloan sang his praises around these parts. Sometimes if there's enough talent in there (enough to improve the current lineup if realised), we have to stick our necks out and risk it. Vusi was worth it and so is Coventry in the short formats.

Vusi Debuted before the Rebel era then he was axed and worked his way back in again, then he lost form and was axed then he hit the First class with 1000 runs in a season and captained the A team as well and he was an automatic pic. Coventary as much as I like to see him in the team, HAS to dominate our weak bowlers in the domestic else we are not even doing him any favours by chucking him in the deepend AGAIN!

most people only want coventry here in the T20
Thats fine.... he provdes muscle


its like a rugby league/union team who is pretty good but getting a bity overawed in the forward pack...sometimes you have to put in a big bopper in there who isnt as talented to beef up the drive... (the cricketing equivalent is run rate).

it would seem th ship has sailed for Coventry. unless if he does a Vusi ( i.e perform in the domestic game).

Matsi would never last 60 deliveries, let alone score 100 runs.
