Do you know what..in terms of innovation or outside thinking or adjusting to the situation Cremer struggles a bit. I can give 2 examples.

1- new ball is taken about an hour ago. We all know Chisoro is good with the new ball because He is quicker than the average spinner. We have seen it in ODIs. He knows it.. they all know it but Chisoro didn't get to partner Mpofu upfront. His other bets don't work, Chisoro comes on.Cleans up the rest.

2- Roach Cleans Hami up. He is looking dangerous. Gabriel takes forever to bowl an over even though he is bowling well.. Holder hands the ball to Brathwaite to get an over in quickly so that Roach can get 1 more over before lunch. Roach comes on again. Mire gone.

Those are 2 examples for me which show the difference between sticking to the script every time like Cremer or making things happen like Holder. Maybe it will come with experience

What a surprise, parasite starts another racist thread

The simple truth is that Zimbabwe don't have a world class player let alone one that has the experience or backing to be a world class captain, fact, end of story, except for Chigumbura of course :roll:

Find a world class coach then parasite, just don't forget to tell us how you're going to pay him

The funny thing about this is that it's deja vu. The same thing happened with Dav Whatmore. You mocked me but things only got worse!

Guys it will only get worse. If Streak doesn't go now, his reputation will be irreversibly damaged by the time he leaves.

1 Crushing by SA

2 TriSeries in BD against a hurting BD and SL

3 Definite humiliation by Afghanistan in UAE

4 Definite heartbreak in the CWC qualifiers

5 Thumpings by AUS and PAK in Tri Series

6 Whitewash by PAK

7 Humiliation of BD proportions by SA


If I was Heath Streak I would do the right thing and reason. Based on evidence displayed so far, no way ZIM and its fans will have any joy to speak of.

It was a bad move to ignore Vusi, Panyangara, Chatara, Wellington and Shingi. Even Mawoyo too. Zim already stood a chance against WI without BT and KJ.

This was self-sabotage. Mire opening? Non-bowling Malcolm at 7. Mpofu leading the attack. Reliance on Raza and Williams. An under-cooked Taylor?

this is Test cricket for crying out loud, not an invitiation to be part of SA's Provincial cricket like Namibia!

If Taylor is under cooked then everybody in Zim is.

Hes been playing county cricket for ever and that's more cricket than all his teammates combined.

True. Except everyone knows that while plenty ZIM players have been playing top level FC matches for ZIM and the ZIM A side, Brendan had been warming the Notts bench if not collecting low FC scores before that. A lot of those County bowlers are very much below the bowlers ZIM batsmen have been facing. Plus FC is not List A or T20 for a reason.

His place in the XI is not being questioned here - not now or ever.

Namibia have actually been pretty impressive.
They have a handful of half decent players now who seem to be firing. Baard is a very good player

You might know Pariah, could a Namibian ever get picked up by one of the franchise outfits?

Thinking Craig Williams - that guy is immense and should definitely have been given a crack at the franchise level (if they were considered)

Guess that's why Bredenkamp and Frylinck joined Namibia to give them a better opportunity to get picked for Cape Cobras?

Craig Williams has a FC average of 40, good player.

JJ Smits is a very good bowler as well
