Re: Sri Lanka in Bangladesh 2024

Prior to the game I was going through the stats of SL batters and was surprised to see Kamindu Mendis average in the 60s at domestic level. He followed it up with a brilliant twin knock in the test. Surely a talent there. First time I saw Nahid Rana, is he the quickest bowler in Bangladesh right now...

Re: Africa Games Final | ZIm vs Namibia

Yeah, I hugely underestimated them before that Zimbabwe game, but now I understand they are a decent side. They are still well behind Zimbabwe and Namibia I would say but surely no pushovers.

Re: Africa Games Final | ZIm vs Namibia

It still helps Zimbabwe slightly because of Namibia's loss against Nigeria which was an international.

As of now Zimbabwe sneak ahead of Namibia into 12th Rank.

Re: 2023-2031 FTP news, updates, etc

Yeah that's a good post. I agree. If we look at it, Ireland and Afghanistan have barely done anything to justify their test status. Which is why I never compare Zimbabwe with these two, because Zimbabwe have done a bloody good job as a test playing nation over the last 30+ years. Something which Ir...

Re: 2023-2031 FTP news, updates, etc

I actually think becoming a full member has made Ireland stagnate a bit. It’s very costly, from the competitive salaries you have to pay, the domestic tournaments you have to organize and the quality of the broadcasts you have to organize for matches against other full members. I also don’t think I...

Re: African Games Semi Final | Zim vs Kenya

The way this Ranking thing is going and knowing how shameless ICC are, I won't be surprised if the ICC decides after 30th June, which of these games were internationals and which were not, depending upon which teams they want to see qualify directly for T20 WC 2026 😂

Re: African Games Semi Final | Zim vs Kenya

The performances of a lot of players have been worth appretiating throughout this tournament. I know they are playing against no so strong sides but these lafs ate also not internationals, so this is very pleasing to see. If Zimbabwe can unearth even 2-3 good players from here that can make the nati...
