I was just wondering if Mpofu has retired from all cricket. I apologise if I have missed it in an earlier thread, he hasn’t played since April.
Would be sad to see him go, he was never a great player but did a good service for Zimbabwe and had his moments.
If he has retired, then he falls 4 wickets short of 300 first class wickets, which is an impressive haul. I wish him all the best for the future.
He still holds this record I think:
“He is the world record holder for conceding the fewest runs (6 runs) without bowling a maiden over in a T20 International after bowling the complete quota of overs”

Re: Chris Mpofu
Don't think he ever officially announced a retirement but it certainly looks that way.
He's a great bloke btw. Have had the pleasure of meeting him before and he clearly had such a huge passion for the game. Have heard he's very good with youngsters over the years as well, so I hope he is helping out with coaching somewhere.

That’s great, I really do wish him well. He would be a great bowling coach somewhere if he wanted to stay in the game.secretzimbo wrote: ↑Tue Feb 08, 2022 7:21 pmDon't think he ever officially announced a retirement but it certainly looks that way.

Re: Chris Mpofu
I think he is doing some coaching with the Rhinos and also a school actually.

Who was that against?
Ya I've always enjoyed watching him bowl and he's just such a nice friendly guy. He's been a great servant of our cricket, I wish him all the very best.

Re: Chris Mpofu
Good bloke Bobby. Loved his attitude and his joy on the pitch. Him and Ray dancing after wickets is one of my best Zim memories.
