Is that an XI for a cricket match or a big dick contest, cuz it has a chance of winning only one of those.

As our great forum philosopher, ZIMDOGGY, opined recently - hhm is good fun, but he's lost the art of subtlety. He's Flanderized himself.

Something has got to give. Mutizwa continues to make runs in the domestic game yet is not give a chance. And the people who are given a chance just stink.

Slowly but surely

Expect this soon very when a proper coach and selector are now running the show

Quote this back to yourself in a while or just wait for It to make it into one of Eugene's amusing Hhm retrospectives

ZIM 261/8, then end is nigh. Predictions:

1.Forumites will try and make Taylor;s knock all the way down at number four in the 29th over appear superior to openers Hami and Mire's efforts.

2.No one will be bothered that Cremer gifted 180 easy runs on a spinner's pitch ... simply because he got the 5 tailenders who apparently scored the bulk of West Indies' runs

3.Williams' worth as an allrounder has improved

Did I leave out anything?

4. Ah yes, Jarvis is a world class seamer!

To be honest. Waller and Vusi are more of the same. If Vusi got dropped after a long run, Waller deserves to be dropped too.. Domestic bully.

As for Regis I haven't been on his side for a long time. When was the last time he got an international score? Mayavo in the squad already shows that they might play him in the case that Regis doesn't get runs which is exactly what happened. They might need to add some names to this squad.

Waller was screwed over there

True but still no not much of a contribution from him. Something has got to give. Mutizwa continues to make runs in the domestic game yet is not give a chance. And the people who are given a chance just stink.

Mutizwa should be in but, Waller could do nothing there. For what it's worth, he was looking good there. He'd just crunched two boundary fours.

Chakabva, how did he get out? Was it soft? Away from the desk

Commentators taking sense. Need to blood younger players to avoid a generation gap.

Mutizwa would not solve this issue.

Has to be a Burl, Musakanda, Kunje or Kasuza.

Predictions:

a. Hhm will enjoy a Zim defeat.

b. Hhm will post essays suggesting we put a team on the park capable of losing to Uganda

Kasuza or Burl for Waller would be reasonable - and keep them at 7

You will continue to vent your frustrations on me because you refuse to accept that your selections are junk an won't win Zimbabwe anything. They'll only bring it embarrassment.

Why? Because stats don't lie!!!

So carry on. Attack me instead of Streak and your favourite players.

Soon they'll be thoroughly embarrassed by AFG an IRE in Tests.

By the way, then you'll find Streak and Taibu underneath that same rock.

c. Hhm will call for Chigumbura to make the team.

d. Hhm will come up with a wonderful list of stats which nobody will read
