I'm a huge zimbabwe fan, and thanks to the forum and thanks to you guys i can catch up with all the talk about zim cricket.

welcome to the forum sloandog hope you enjoy your stay

Campbell Macmillian has been out of the domestic scene for a few yeras now but there are rumors that he is in talk with one of the franchises about making a return, lets hope he does the national side despratly needs some pace bowlers. He used to bowl around the 85mph mark but this was a few yeras ago and he may either of lost or gained pace.

Thanks zimfan1 :)

I hope he does come back, apart from anthony ireland zimabwe has had no genuine pace bowler for the past 3 years. And even he's gone :(
I hope the franchise system has a posative effect on the game in zimbabwe.
I cant wait to see the squads. Fingers crossed theirs some pace bowlers in the mix ;)

Campbell Macmillan was the fastest bowler in the country at one point. He did seem to struggle for control however I seem to recall.

I hear that Kyle Jarvis is coming along nicely. Having read some past comments on the forum, he sounds like he's got raw pace !! :o It'd be good to see him in with a franchise. Unless he's still at unaversity :?: Can anybody help me out :?:

He's at the university in Pertoria in South Africa, i think its only his first year so looks like he wont be avaliable for a while, he played against Scotland a while ago in a warm up for the 2011 world cup qualifiers

I really wish Campbell Macmillan signs up with a franchise. I also heard about his speed.

I personally think streak as bowling coach is fantastic! Wat he shud do nw is get jarvis & aliseni to come & play in zimbabwe.. Offer 'em e money which they deserve..i mean both bowl at over 140kph e latter can get it to 150kph..we shud use 'our talent' b4 CSA takes em.. Both r in south africa ryt one at pretoria e other at monash.. We hav e talent but we let it slip away all e tym..hope streak lures em back

Zimbabwe should definitely use their talents in a right/proper way to dominate in the international arena. Can't let the talents go wasted.
