I know mate, I was at the T20 @World Cup last year and I loved Niall O Brian, not just cause he won us the match against Bangladesh but because every time he hit a boundary the girls had to get up and dance again!! :) lol

For an All-rounder that plays for Zimbabwe who don't play a lot of test cricket that's very good..... Propably not as many as you though?

Eh no he doesn't? :S    M     INNS  NO     RUNS         HS     AVE        100s    50s
First-class               49     77     9     2066     171     30.38      3     10 

Hardly a 11 bat?

hey Tom, looks like mongoose could save another game today, Dwane just hit a huge 6 with his CoR3. Shame he diddnt pull out the MMi, with the fact its just slow stuff it would of been a great way to introduce it to the world T20 scene
Title: Re: Zimbabwe are a joke !
Post by: Skully on February 28, 2010, 08:43:46 PM
NVM, I just jynxed him, but what a catch, if you get a chance to see it, see it. Dyane goes for a sweep, toes it and mid wicket puts his body on the line for that catch

Windie's are heading down quickly, simply not good enough for the big boys anymore, no contest, they need to sort Div 2 of world cricket with them, Zimbabwe, Bangladesh, Ireland, Kenya, Namibia etc.
Title: Re: Zimbabwe are a joke !

Yup, really should be in place by now.
Div1:         Div2:
Sa            WI
Aus           IRL
SL            Kenya
ENG          Afghanistan
IND           Netherlands
PAK           Scotland
NZ             ZIM

Have a one up one down system but have it so that if you get Under a certain points in Div1 you go down (so you could come last but not go down, to save them going down and dominating) And you have to get a certain amount of points to go down again..... Sorry about going off topic :D
Title: Re: Zimbabwe are a joke !
Post by: Talisman on February 28, 2010, 09:03:11 PM
Bangladesh and Zimbabwe must be Div 3 then?

hmmm, but how can that point system work? I know they have that point system for rankings for the world, but there are 2 tables, one for test and one for ODI. Now as you know every playing nation has ODI status, but are you saying that if a Div1 team goes up, then they should get test status??!!

I agree that a couple of teams should go to division 1, but I dont know how you can do it without taking away the test status for WI and Zim

Yeah, separate one for ODI and Test. And ZIM don't have test status anyway.
 Then they could run It over two years. Maybe they could introduce a Div2 test status so to speak. So like they can play 5-day first class matches, but the ICC being stingy ******** don't have to fund them the way they do the others? But WI would be in the main status group dispite being in div 2? lol

Zimbabwe DO have full Test status. They agreed to stop playing Tests in 2006, so they could develop their youngsters in domestic First Class cricket.

Tey maybe playing Tests again within the next 6-18 months.
