Re: Match Thread: Zimbabwe vs Bangladesh 1st Test (20th-24th April 2025)

Nice to see us hold our nerve and get the win. We have not done that in a long time. One thing that still remains a problem is our players playing within themselves. They get into this defensive mindset and invite the pressure. We did it in the first innings. All those who failed had low SR's. We de...

I don't think we could have had a better day.
I mean, could have caught Mominul when he was on 0, reducing their score by about 56, but other than that, 10 wickets in one day and no wickets lost is definitely a good day.

We now have to make it count.

Re: Admission to the forum

The discord is a back up in the event that the forum crashes and everything is lost. it connects us if the website dies Not many have signed up to it though, so if this was to go tits up, I doubt people would know about it. As opposed to making the link public, it was invite only, so unless people ...

Re: Admission to the forum

You're fighting a losing battle sloan. The mods don't appear here regularly and when they do, they ignore anything that members bring forward. Nothing against them personally, but as a forum, they need to either elect people who are active to work on their behalf, or do something different so the fo...

Re: 2023-2031 FTP news, updates, etc

What's with all the tests being played in Bulawayo only? Scheduling seems rather erratic and silly.

Re: Road to the England Test 2025

At 37, a guy would only be the 5th oldest person in this squad...so thats not a valid reason. Somewhow, the ZIM geriatrics are all in the best form of their lives. Mahmudullah and Mushfiqur Rahim are a similar age, and they're both struggling for form and consistency and have retired from 2 out of ...

Re: Road to the England Test 2025

Call me crazy, but I wouldn't complain if they found a spot for Timycen Maruma somewhere in that lineup. The guy has scored some runs in Logan Cup and that should count for something. I don't get this love fest for Maruma. Ok, he is scoring runs in the domestic game, but we've already gathered that...

Re: Canada tour of Zimbabwe

I get that Maruma is apparently having a decent domestic season, but the man is almost 37. Has had plenty of opportunities at the international level and has always failed. It is absolutely pointless for him to be in the A-side. If you want to, bring him in as a non playing player to help with guida...

Re: Match Thread: 1st ODI Zimbabwe v Ireland 14th February 2025

Curran looks a bit out of his depth to be honest. He struggles to rotate the strike and score at a decent rate. Yet again we are seeing that county cricket is no preparation for international cricket. The list of players we have seen plucked from country cricket and then struggle internationally fo...

Re: Match Thread: Only Test Zimbabwe v Ireland (6th -10th February 2025)

This match is typical zim. Start very strong, take the foot off the gas, let the opposition back in. Look like we are going to crumble, fight back to get into a position of par at least. Opposition look like they are going to get away. Pull it back. Possibility to win. Throw it all away. Why are we ...
