ZCF Fictitious XI

I have to add this. Newspapers in my mother tongue Kannada always mispronounce / misspell some of the Zimbo names. I cringe every time I see a "Sane Williams" or a "Masakaja" in print.

Also, long ago, Matsi was spelt as "Matsyakanyeri" in one of the articles. The funny part in this was... In Kannada, and in most Indian languages due to the inheritance of the word from Sanskrit, "Matsya-kanya" / "Matsya-kanye" means mermaid

News is that Zimbabwe is not going to renew contract with Ntini, and are bringing some new coaches :

Peter Recover James , who will be teaching boys some unorthodox shorts, helpful for T20s and Slog Overs.

Mathew Brain, from North Korea ( coach local club) , will give ideas of reverse swing and art of china man bowling.

I am starting to think that Robot is an Ai that scans the internet for recent information about Zimbabwe Cricket - It finds this information but doesn't understand it, so it just makes up names to make the information logical enough for it, but no-one else.

Seems very much the case.

On the other hand, imagine if we were a Sri Lankan Cricket Forum. We would be playing with names like Nadal Bandara Perera, a. k. a TMBRN Perera: Tillekeratne Mudiyanselage Bandara Rafael Nadal Perera. Would be the best left handed batsman the world has ever seen, with specialisation in scoring tons of runs on dust bowl pitches.

Yes, that is a good point.

I guess we should be happy that Robot chose this forum, instead of another one.
