Not that it matters, the last time Zimbabwe toured England, they were fortunate enough to play 4 FC matches before the Tests. They drew/tied 3 of them against strong county sides (including one against a Murray Goodwin-led Sussex) and won one (against "British Universities"). Despite all that prepa...

I have a "sports evolution" theory where basically I think that every sport gets harder over time because of tech and human evolution. So far the class of Usain Built, Gatlin and Powell are so far debunking my theory but I still believe their records will be broken one day. I just think the amount ...

It is hard to know how Williams and C Ervine would fair against the top six, simply because they've rarely played them - they can only score runs against those in front of them.

The quota myth will remain a mystery all of 5 white boys in the team. Good team make up all round. The keeping spot I thought Tsiga was ahead alas Mavayo's keeping must be better.

The quota has always been 5 non-blacks - typically been 4 whites + Raza.

I have it on good authority that Andy Blignaut is going to be appointed to a newly-created position of high performance manager for SOGO Rangers who are now surely Zimbabwe's premier cricket club. There is even talk of a player/coach role for Blignaut who, despite being 46, has been inspired by Bren...

Wow, Bulawayo is the test capital of the world at this point!
