[Match Thread] Pakistan v Zimbabwe, 1st T20I

@jimmy

You would have seen more of Roy Kaia than most on the forum do you think he can be successful on the international scene??

Also you picked Utseya has his action improved since he took a beating in the WC warm up matches ??

[jimmylesaint]

Yo Jaybro
Roy has matured mentally and especially physically- he has enormous drive, perhaps he has come along too quickly but i think he will cope very well.
Prosper ain't in my line up for his bowling just the fact he can swing the bat and maybe make a few lucky runs. I hope he gets hit for 36 runs an over with his mystery medium slow non spinner new style- then he can slink off back to the wilderness(probably near his sponsor in Mutare) He is keeping out better players and made himself into the butt of all jokes.

Beer and burger?

I'd go with:

1. Coventry (wk)
2. Raza
3. Masakadza
4. Williams
5. Ervine
6. Sibanda
7. Chigumbura (c)
8. Cremer
9. Vitori
10. Mupariwa
11. Panyangara

I would prefer Ervine over Vusi. By the way, Choppa has the highest SR of 156 among both teams. Against Pak, he strikes at 229 though his highest is 30. Time to substantiate these stats.

Yea but.....how good is the training kit

Not sure if being sarcastic or....I actually quite like it. The match day kit however looks like a complete bodge job.

And we finally have a sponsor!

I think Ervinator gets a harsh wrap from some, overly glaring accolades from others but a bad wrap from some no less.

I'd put him as our 4th best bat in the taylorless-country at the moment.
At the moment it's
Williams
<daylight
Hamilton
<daylight
Raza by a nose hair Then Ervine.
Id have Chamu at 5.

This trio of razz,Craig and chamu all belong to the class of looking like world class weapons wen they are on fire but are as unreliable and unstable as a schizophrenic with an ice addiction or a Pakistani cricketer with a brown paper bag in their pocket

The Dogg speaks sense .....

I'm very eager to see how Choppa goes in his return, I always thought he has great ability a natural strike maker but he seemed to seen as a clueless slogger, due to the fact he played too many shots ......

[ZIMDOGGY]

He's not that good,
He's a natural number ten if he played for Australia,
But, he can turn a game on his head single handedly on that 1/10 time he gets going,
He can muscle his way out of a tight spot

And that my friend is something only one other batsman in this team is remotely capable of doing.

[ZIMDOGGY]

We can have Regis only score 18 and Coventry only score the same amount.
But chopster will do it in 16 balls and Regis will dribble it out in 38
