I know you were interested in going to Zim and playing some FC cricket at one stage. I was wondering if that still interested you? I presume you are close to finishing uni now and was interested if you still had aspirations to play in Zimbabwe/for Zimbabwe.
Hi mate.
Yea I went to turn my arm over in the Harare nets in 2011 and have a bat against some of the Eagles and Rhinos boys, watched by KC :cry:
I did pretty well considering I was only 17. I kept very well. Was never going to stick around though because I had other commitments in the UK, and I was starting Uni the year afterwards. I have a serious ambition to play FC cricket in Zim when I leave Birmingham Uni. I'm captain of the 1st team here and Vice Club Skipper. Doing a masters though so I'll be here another year yet.
I'm in no fit shape though. I've drank myself into oblivion :lol: When I get fit i reckon I could hold my own against some of these bowlers of what I've seen off the highlights for sure.
Do you have any links to Zim?

Maybe I should roll the arm over.

I averaged 12 with the ball this season finished. Inswinging yorkers at pinpoint accuracy

Offspin grant, with a few legbreaks thrown in for good measure.
