Ok here's a current one-
Rhinos dropped Byrom in favor of Naqvi, or perhaps Carlson actually.
That's a tough call- Byrom is a Zimbo and there's a chance that one day he will want to come back, should be making him feel a bit more welcome than that. He hasn't done much this season, which is a big surprise, I thought he'd plunder, but its only the half way mark. If Carlson now makes runs does Byrom sit out again?
Hard to argue about keeping Naqvi after a 4fer and a 100, but everyone knows the deal with this guy, doesn't sit well with a lot of people.
Sorry, what is it about Naqvi that doesn't sit well with a lot of people?

That Crocker yarn was gold, I remember reading it on a zim cricket blog that I think Tristan Holme was responsible for, but can't find it again.

That story about M'Shangwe happened at about the same time as Panyangara getting dropped for sharing the video of Johnson bowling right Jaybro?

Vermeulen had been given out LBW at Prince Edward. He took the stumps out and marched off with them and that was the end of the game
