Re: Logan Cup 2018: R1: Eagles v Tuskers & Mountaineers v Rhinos

Burl, Jarvis and Hamilton the biggest names missing from this round of action. Guessing Chatara is yet to fully recover. Good to see Musakanda captaining the Rhinos. Would have also liked to evaluate the leadership skills of Moor, but unfortunately both playing for the same team. Chigumbura is stil...

Re: Domestic season Build up (or lack there of)

First change of fixture list: The two Pro50 matches originally scheduled for tomorrow, 1 December, have been postponed until next Saturday, 8 December. Logan Cup matches 3-6 December stay as advertised, I am told. No other changes to fixtures. Yet.

Re: What is Zim's greatest of All Time XI for Tests?

Had KC still been with us I suspect he would have sent his boys north. Our cricket would have had to have been looking mighty rosy for them to have been tempted to stay here. At school level Sam did extremely well here, but at age group level Curtis and Welch were probably a bit ahead of him when t...

Re: Remember when all the randoms were playing?

Another idea which would cost less and possibly be much more beneficial would be to work out some type of 'player exchange' with Bangladesh or even Sri Lanka where we send 5-6 players to play in their domestic competition and they send the same amount back to play in ours. Win-win for both as you g...

There must have been a bit of money floating around in the Stanbic days, I wonder...

Re: 2nd Test Build Up

Burl bowls legspin?Chinaman? Imagine an opener who also cleans up the tail when needed. He has a big big future for us if he does bowl legspin. Im hoping he kills it this coming domestic season He's just a part-time bowler at first-class level at the moment, and could well not be used at all in the...

Re: Distribution of Rising Star Academy & Under 19 Players in Domestic Season 2018- 2019

Whilst RS won the 50 over comp there was only a handful of guys that really stuck their hands up, some of which are missing or on call up, so there’s only a few useful guys to absorb. This December start does not bode well. The next crop of u19’s have a year to get some serious exposure, and the mo...

Payangara was looking a bit dimensionally challenged in the latter years of his Zimbabwe career though no? 😂
Yes, during his injury he put on a lot of weight, did not pay enough attention to fitness and seemed to lose his drive.

Re: Must Do's of Zimbabwe Cricket. Constraints and Solutions.

How can we not have money to run the domestic scene? How much does it really cost? Its not like these guys are making tens of thousands of dollars. ZC receives millions. I don't know the details of the agreement between ICC and ZC, but millions are owed, and for the near future ZC will have to oper...

Re: Must Do's of Zimbabwe Cricket. Constraints and Solutions.

From whatever cricket I have seen from Zimbabwe in the recent months, the following 3 basic measures are must do's of Zimbabwe cricket. 1. Include a domestic T20 competition. 2. Continue playing the Academy side (i.e. Rising Star or their replacement) in the domestic competition as the 5th team. 3....
