Cant we send Zhuwao there too. His technique needs panel beating.

Mire falls on 94 great innings that should open some doors for him. Anything less than 160 wont be good enough. Oh forgot no 5th bowler.

Langton Rusere is a poor umpire.

Zimbabwe was under Streak & Ntini two greatest bowling stalwards, but still that " threatening " or the lethal factor bowlers, are missing from Zimbabwe and both have failed to find any talent who can blow away the opposition . Even Cremer, Chatara doesn't fall in that list.

Last time when opposition feared Zimbabwe bowling attack was back in the days of Brandes, Streak & Olonga.

No outcomes of the investment made by ZC

Yea the days of Streak and Brandes were golden.


My grandad always rated Brandes and said he had a real yard when he was younger, and when he bent his back.

I get your point, but I think Cremer is a strike bowler. In any given over he's a chance of taking a wicket because he gets the ball to do something.

The military mediums like Mpofu etc just serve up the same thing over and over, totally unthreatening. The only quick we've got who might be able to buck that trend is Muzarabani - but he needs to be 10kmph quicker. If he could hit 140+ at his height he'd cause some problems.

Blessing is a lot faster than he was bowling today. I think he lacks control at full pace so they told him to slow down. He can hit 140kph. He will get better though. Cant wait for Mumba to come back. Hopefully he wouldnt have lost too much pace. These 2 guys are the future of Zimbabwe cricket. Hopefully they invest in them and send them to a few high performance centers for a couple of months when we are not doin anything

For 15 years we've needed someone who can hit 140 consistently though, not just the odd effort ball.

If only Vitori had been able to get some regular game time and work on his pace. With the way he could swing it, at pace, he would have troubled many top batsmen.
