Confusing Zimbabwe sqaud put up by Cricinfo

Post by zimfan1 »

Not sure what to make of this and dont know what the sqaud is for but on cricinfo under the Kenya tour to Zimbabwe series the following sqaud has been listed

http://www.cricinfo.com/zimvkenya2009/c ... 24847.html

Prosper Utseya (c) Graeme Cremer, Elton Chigumbura, Charles Coventry, Trevor Garwe, Kyle Jarvis, Hamilton Masakadza Stuart Matsikenyeri, Chris Mpofu, Forster Mutizwa (wk), Ray Price, Tatenda Taibu (wk), Mark Vermeulen, Malcolm Waller
Sean Williams

It doesnt say if the sqaud is for the ODI's or the Zimbabwe A side in the four day match, either way it is confusing.
If its the sqaud for the A game why are the likes of Hamilton Masakadza, Ray Price and Elton Chigumbura in it.

But if its a national team sqaud where are the likes of Brendan Taylor and Ed Rainsford and why are Malcolm waller and Kyle Jarvis who is not even playing for a franchise in it

BAFFALING!!!!

That sure is a squad and a half :?

The main question is, was this squad chosen by cricinfo after a liquid lunch break at cricinfo HQ, or by ZC after an even longer liquid lunch break at ZC HQ ?

If there is any truth in this at all, then there are a couple of players who could maybe do with a run out to get some form before the ODI's, Mark Vermeulen, Charles Coventry, Malcolm Waller, but having names like Hamilton Masakadza, Elton Chigumbura, Ray Price is just plain silly unless the idea is to try and hammer Kenya before the ODI series. I like the idea of giving Kyle Jarvis a go, does he still play cricket though ? is he in Zim ? are cricinfo just plain wrong ?

I wonder if Graeme Cremer knows he's the Player/Coach ..... :D

A Zim Team without TIMYCEN MARUMA is not a Zim Team to me. This is a probable squad!!!!!!
