Post by zimlover »

India have confirmed an incoming tour, Finally we get some international cricket
I wonder what changes we are going to see with this coming series, A change in personnel would be very much welcome.

As expected, the Test match has turned into an extra 2 T20Is :(

really don't know why the removed the test..that's shocking. the only reason I can think of must have something to do with the TV rights deal they signed last year with TSM because the Indian public would probably be more likely to watch the t20s than a test. if that's the case then the deal must be cancelled otherwise this is crazy . we are not even a ranked test team anymore because we are not playing enough games

I guess it won't be so bad if the other proposed Tests this season come to fruition. Supposedly 3 Tests v Bangladesh, 2 v New Zealand and 2 v Sri Lanka.

Revenue from the India tour( $9mil ) will be diverted to a struggling bank by wilfried mukondiwa if u slash his pay in half he would still be the highest paid zc employee if u look at other national teams the highest earner is usually a player last time i checked our debt was close to ($ 18 mil )there is a cash shortage in zim at the moment . Expect some tours to be cancelled and more tests to be turned into t20's and all matches in Harare .

Have you guys seen India's squad? I think this is weaker than last time they toured!

Problem is they still beat us.

Our best XI should be beating that team.

Meh, that team is still way better than Zim.
