Re: Pro50 Championship 2023-24

Plenty of guys with multiple seasons of county cricket under their belt have played Zim domestic over the last couple of years and with the exception of Compton in the Logan Cup none of them have close to this level of domination. Patrick Rowe who was Aus-19 player a few years ago and a first grade...

Re: Pro50 Championship 2023-24

There is no way that Naqvi will play for Zimbabwe. His agent will push sending his first class stats to every professional side in the world. Someone will take a gamble on him. This is true. I have actually been thinking that we need to tie him down as soon as possible. It won't be long before peop...

Re: Pro50 Championship 2023-24

K-Long/Wes
Welch
Williams
Ervine
Madande
Raza
Burl

That would be my batting lineup for this qualifier.

Re: Pro50 Championship 2023-24

I think Maru will go as the backup keeper and they will pick K-long over Kaia based on current form and quality of opposition. I think they need to push Craig to number 4. To come in after the powerplay and build form over 7 to 12. He can rotate the strike easily. I think his struggles uptop are bec...

Mpofu has done really well. I thought he had retired. The tuskers needed that boost

Re: 2023 ODI World Cup Discussion

The wake up for me was Afghanistan. They've got a world class bowling attack, 2 World class opening batsmen, 2 others of real quality and 2 other decent ones. Everyone wringing their hands about Afghanistan is nonsensical, they're way ahead of us. They seem like a cricket mad country and have the r...

Re: 2023 ODI World Cup Discussion

Watching Sri Lanka struggle then remembering that they were miles ahead of everybody else in the qualifiers. Concerning for us, Ireland and the West Indies.

Re: Club Cricket 2023-24

I have been told Midlands league is kicking in early December. We recently had the Two keys t20 in which 'fan favourite' :lol: Antum Naqvi was the leading run scorer and it was surprisingly won by the Pirates (mainly down to K Phiris heroics). Kwekwe finished bottom of the group :cry: How many mont...

Re: Raza new T20I Captain

DH said in a recent podcast that Nick Welch was only added to the squad at his request. I would be surprised to see him selected for the T20 qualifier if that was the case. At least it shows that they do listen. He didn't do too bad but ideally it would have been better if he played a season. The g...

Re: 2023 ODI World Cup Discussion

We also have to be honest with ourselves. Why would Afghanistan want to play us? They are miles ahead of us now. I don't think we are worse, we have just stagnated. Zero improvement. The only thing tha might interest them at this point is a 3 match test series so that they can show they deserve to b...
