The Tuskers' match thread just reminded me of another obsession:

Back in the day, being a rocks fan was a hard slog...he was what separated us from being worse than Girls High school 2nd XI and occasional respectability!

Good thread! I'll add that a forum wide obsession is being able to insert a proposed first XI into just about any topic

Well. here's doing justice to that. How can this thread not have an XI? Here's an XI of cricketers who are discussed most obsessively at ZCF. One fleeting comment seems to invoke a truckload of responses about them every time they are mentioned. The responses seem to include a wide range of emotions from extreme adulation to hatred.

Barney Rogers
Alistair Campbell
Vusi Sibanda
Stuart Matsikenyeri
Piet Rinke
Forster Mutizwa
Elton Chigumbura
Andy Blignaut
Kieth Dabengwa
Prosper Utseya (C)
Tinashe Panyangara

12th man (even here, unfortunately): Ed Rainsford

Probably scraped in by virtue of a better ODI batting average... and bowling average.

[CrimsonAvenger]

Yeah, probably Maruma should have gotten in there ahead of either Rinke or Dabengwa.

I remember someone on this forum calling Rinke "concrete feet" - that name has stuck in my mind!

Pretty sure they had Greg Strydom in mind too.

I think of him when I watch Levi and Jon Jon Smuts. Who knows maybe he might have done better than them albeit with similar deficiencies.

Many ZIM players probably do regret quitting considering T20s today. Strydom is one, Blignaut the other and definitely Travis Friend.

I do think it's quite possible that eg the Afghan and Bangladesh T20 leagues would have taken a chance on Strydom, but don't do so with Cephas Zhuwawo.
