[Match Thread] Tour Match - Zimbabwe v Cricket South Africa XI

[Flakeman]

I’d rather have Hamilton in my team any day over Bavuma !

[The Robot]

Chamu Chibhabha.

Every one expects "Watson" like performance from him, but has been a " greatest failure ". Even a 50 could have been expected from an allrounder like Elton at his prime form against a top side.

A talent which is best against an associate nation or an average domestic cricket competition but unfit for international standard, still finds a place in playing XI of many members in ZRF

Would rather consider technically correct Masvaure who has got less oportunity then Chibhabha, atleast in scoring runs.

Muzarabani pulling his run rate back a bit here after his bashing last night. Cremer fetching some now

[Kriterion_BD]

Muzarabani gets the biggest wicket of the side. Should def play ahead of Mpofu.

[zimfan1]

Couple of wickets for Cremer which will help his confidence before boxing day.

Blessing cannot play on boxing day, he is nowhere near ready.

Unless you have seen him, you don't know that. Yes, there is a 95% chance he is not ready same with any bowler. But there is a 100% that Mpofu will not threaten SA bowlers in a meaningful way. I'd take 5% over 0.

Jarvis, Chatara, and Muzarabani could at least pose some questions if nothing else.

Rank tailender and nightwatchman gets 41 runs against Zimbabwe's attack. His highest score in over 60 professional innings to date!

ZIM's so-called champion spinner(Cremer) and seamer(Jarvis) going at 3.5 against kids.

The SA Invitational XI have decided to respond with 9 batsmen too...

What else could go wrong?

[sloandog]

Zimbabwe's best seamer Jarvis and our best spinner Cremer once again doing the business.

[sloandog]

32...

Anyone who reads too much into tour matches doesn't understand cricket very well.
