Re: 2023-2031 FTP news, updates, etc

What's with all the tests being played in Bulawayo only? Scheduling seems rather erratic and silly.

Re: Road to the England Test 2025

At 37, a guy would only be the 5th oldest person in this squad...so thats not a valid reason. Somewhow, the ZIM geriatrics are all in the best form of their lives. Mahmudullah and Mushfiqur Rahim are a similar age, and they're both struggling for form and consistency and have retired from 2 out of ...

Re: Road to the England Test 2025

Call me crazy, but I wouldn't complain if they found a spot for Timycen Maruma somewhere in that lineup. The guy has scored some runs in Logan Cup and that should count for something. I don't get this love fest for Maruma. Ok, he is scoring runs in the domestic game, but we've already gathered that...

Re: Canada tour of Zimbabwe

I get that Maruma is apparently having a decent domestic season, but the man is almost 37. Has had plenty of opportunities at the international level and has always failed. It is absolutely pointless for him to be in the A-side. If you want to, bring him in as a non playing player to help with guida...

Re: Match Thread: 1st ODI Zimbabwe v Ireland 14th February 2025

Curran looks a bit out of his depth to be honest. He struggles to rotate the strike and score at a decent rate. Yet again we are seeing that county cricket is no preparation for international cricket. The list of players we have seen plucked from country cricket and then struggle internationally fo...

Re: Match Thread: Only Test Zimbabwe v Ireland (6th -10th February 2025)

This match is typical zim. Start very strong, take the foot off the gas, let the opposition back in. Look like we are going to crumble, fight back to get into a position of par at least. Opposition look like they are going to get away. Pull it back. Possibility to win. Throw it all away. Why are we ...

Re: Ryan Higgins Turned Down Zimbabwe Approach

Considering 3MOB are meant to be a premier media organisation, they are quite shit house. The audio quality kept changing throughout that interview. There was way too much background noise. The questions asked are also very basic.

What is the deal with Antum. Are they still trying to get him his citizenship?

Re: Zimbabweans in franchise league

I could be wrong but I think the use to have a program that would encourage recruiting cricketers from other smaller nations. Yeah, over the years there have been players from PNG, China, Singapore and a few other smaller nations that have signed with BBL teams. They are not part of the roster but ...
