Ya when your best player is an IPL reject who can’t even make the bench as an impact sub :lol: :lol: no way he’d have chased 260.

There’s no doubting he’s the finest Zim player to ever play the game but in the context of wider cricket he’s as overrated as Ben stokes and his continued snubbing by the kings XI selectors proves that.

He also seems a very feast or famine type player. Like either making hundreds or getting ducks, not like a more consistent type of player you can reasonably assume will contribute an innings aligning with their average in pretty much every game.

He absolutely needs to open for me or else I’ll have questions why he did at the qualifiers other than for personal reasons.


Not knocking old raz dawg at all. Just being realistic. A few here seem to have him on some untouchable pedestal. The kind of guy who’d turn water into wine, heal the sick and win an election for chamisa :lol:

The guy is an enigma.

He’s got like 2 scoring shots and 50 variations of an arm ball :lol: throws an inshallah in some interview and inexplicably gets rewarded with performances. When it’s culturally or politically prudent to tone down the Pakistani hustler image and put the inshallah away; notably in the IPL, then he fails. It’s uncanny.
