Re: 2004 Team v 2024 Team

if we are talking ODI cricket, which I assume we are as we have only played like 2 Tests in the past 3 years and T20I didn't exist in 2004, - then there is absolutely no competition and the current 2024 side shits all over the 2004 one. Sorry, but they probably beat the 90's one as well. Cricket is...

Re: 5th T20I | Zimbabwe vs Bangladesh | May 12, 2024

I would advocate for Marumani to come lower down the order. He looks comfortable in the short number of innings he's played towards the rear end. I agree with Googly. Irrespective of his showings, I see a player in Maru. Coming down the order is not a permanent move for me but more of a ploy to get...

Re: 5th T20I | Zimbabwe vs Bangladesh | May 12, 2024

:D That’s was a marvelous innings by Bennett. He’s going to be a star. It’s because he understands the game well and he’s already had at least 3 useful to match winning knocks in his career. This was not that easy a pitch to bat on. Really solid performance. I watched the highlights I noticed that a...

Re: 5th T20I | Zimbabwe vs Bangladesh | May 12, 2024

Yeah coming from good sporting families also helps. I can see Madhevere and Bennet as the future opening pair for Zimbabwe in white ball cricket. This series despite the poor results has genuinely seen some positives for Zimbabwe. Other than Bennett and Campbell, I think even Jongwe, Blessing and N...

Re: 5th T20I | Zimbabwe vs Bangladesh | May 12, 2024

Bennett averages 14 and Maru averages 12 Good start. Bennett living dangerously Bennett contributes with the ball as well which Marumani doesn't do, and overall Bennett just looks a better player. Do Bennett and Campbell come from a better school googly who have had better exposure as compared to t...
