Re: Zimbos in the UK 2021

Yes, his dad is James Carse, probably the fastest bowler to have played for the country. Really quick. I played a Vigne Cup match with him once, OH against Alex - I got there early and there was no one else around, then this bloke arrives wearing a t shirt, rugby shorts and flip flops and puffing aw...

Re: Andy Flower: ICC Hall Of Fame Inductee

One moment that sticks in my mind regarding Andy Flower happened in 97, Andy had just equalled thew world record for most consecutive fifties in Test Cricket and was at the crease looking good for another fifty, if not hundred. the game was at HSC and I had tuned in on the radio and when I heard his...

Re: The Lost Talent Blues

[quoteWhat is causing that? It makes no sense. You should progressively get better until 33-35. Why was Hammy at 17 better than the Hammy at 34?[/quote] The coaching seems to be a big part of it - but I'd also add a lack of motivation. Seems like guys are happy to get into the national side, sign a ...

Re: Tawanda Muyeye Watch

Who is this Nathan Gilchrist guy playing in the same match? Cricinfo says he is born in Harare! :shock:/quote]

His mother is Zimbabwean, father English. Grew up in South Africa.
Could play for Zim, SA or England. He's aiming for England. He's a big lad and bowls fast. Can swing a bat too.

Re: 2nd Test | Zimbabwe V/s Pakistan | Harare

Post by secretzimbo » Sun May 09, 2021 5:52 pm I really don't think Jongwe has what it takes to be a serious threat consistently in a Test over 5 days. But my god I love him so much. Build the ODI and T20 sides around this guy. His fight, swagger, confidence is such a breath of fresh air in Zim cri...
