Zimbabwe Emerging Tour of South Africa

Jesus we bummed then. K long played some world class shots and some dire ones. Clearly not an international batter

So is the ZC App currently wrong? Marumani got the runs, not Makoni?

Marumani 34*
Makoni 0
They have it the wrong way around

Yes, I was watching it. Certainly was Marumani!

Consolation win but a win nonetheless, so 2-3 the end result, not great but not the worst either.

I keep saying this, we need more fixtures for the senior team, waiting until November for the next set of games is frustrating to say the least.

I mean we literally don't get invited to tour anywhere anymore. South africa have pretty much abandoned us. Pakistan is the only real board which has been accommodating towards us

[Googly]

The South Africans have never had time for us. Even when we supplied them with a production line of springboks in the bad old days. Twats.

3-2 is very flattering. These South African kids had the measure of our seasoned pros.

Ya Pakistan are a sound team and a sound bunch of people in general. They too know what it’s like to be firmly outcast from the ICC cosying up.

Put no stock in this hyped up future relationship with England, once they’ve got whatever they’re looking for from the deal it will be goodbye for another 20 years.

England might well send there 'f' squad but that will be it. Majorly exciting to be playing a test in the UK, but as you say, I reckon that'll be it after a while

Problem is that when FTP was getting finalised, Zimbabwe were in total mess. Hence no one really wanted to play against Zim, except for an odd series. I'm sure if FTP was to be prepared today, Zimbabwe would have got a better deal.

Even now, as far as there are no cancellations we should have good amount of games starting November... We might end up playing Ireland a 1000 times in the next 3 years btw.
