[Match Thread] Zimbabwe v Sri Lanka (Tri-Series Final)

[sloandog]

The only problem in this series was tht zim never played on weekends,if they would have i think we could have seen even larger crowds coming to watch zim doing so well.
I m saying this cos i always miss watching half the match.

The T20i's are coming up over the weekend. Bet we shall see the largest crowds at HSC ever. Full house!!!!!!!

I'm not at the T20's
Though my cousin said he'd try and get me some tickets. The atmosphere'll be electric

Especially with us, y'know, winning things at the moment. Wish I could be there...

I agree. Maybe this will mean that teams will now send "proper" teams to Zimbabwe?

They should do. I don't think New Zealand have the balls to visit us due to our destructive opening combination of Brendan Taylor and Hamilton Mazakadza

But on a more serious not, sides like Australia, England and New Zealand should send their full strength sides and just trust our nation again. Perhaps the door has been shut permanently for some sides, but hopefully not

Yeah! Definitely New Zealand, Bangladesh, West Indies, Pakistan, should send full strength sides. I believe we can beat all of them! Especially if we properly sort our pace attack out

Especially if we properly sort our pace attack out

Exactly! In my opinion that's our only week point at the moment.
In my mind the 4 guys we need to look at in terms of pace are Kyle Jarvis, Ed Rainsford, Christopher Mpofu (Who has really impressed me with his pace and bounce) and Shingrai Mazakadza. These guys could be the difference to having a solid foundation of fast bowling, or having a mediocre set of seamer's. And it always helps when somebody like Heath Streak is on board.

Well I've only even seen Mpofu bowl and he seems a good bowler!

Zimbabwe v Sri Lanka
7 June 2010, Harare Sports Club

We have already won the 7th June match Maehara

Whoops! Fixed... ^^;

We need to bring back Belssing Mawhire and Tawanda Mupariwa.

They would be the best pace attack.

[sloandog]

Twanda Mupariwa lacks the pace for international cricket, though Mahwire is a good bowler with a bit of gas.
I tell you who'd be a good option, young Muzarabini. I whatched him bowl in the nets yesterday at Craig Ervine. He's pretty quick...
