Zim Afro T10

[secretzimbo]

The calibre of overseas player seems quite a bit worse than last year to me. Never heard of some of these guys. How do they get picked? Are they all playing for free, or benefitting from shady acquaintances with owners etc, or, dare I say, willing to partake in the various obvious match fixing/spot fixing stuff?

[secretzimbo]

Joshua Bishop, Bodugum Akilesh Reddy, Matiullah Khan, Kobe Heft, Nick Hobson. Who?!?!

[secretzimbo]

David Warner doesn't appear to be playing for his team.

I assume he's taken one look at the whole thing and thought better of it?

This whole thing has shady written all over it. Washed up pros, plenty of sub-continentals and guys nobody has heard of playing in a t10 under lights in Harare. What part of any of that is legit?

[Pat_Bee]

It all feels a bit dirty

Why’s BT not playing in this unsanctioned event anyway? His ban doesn’t extend this far does it?

[Pat_Bee]

That forth over was blatant fixing. Who the funk bowls a maiden in t10 one in t20 would be rare enough.

[zimfan1]

In ten overs Zimbabweans bowled a total of 12 balls (Blessing) and faced 4 balls (Wes).

16 off that 4. Nice !!

The only good thing about the T10 is that some of the local guys will get to train with some decent overseas guys. Apart from that this is pointless.

It's a disgrace what's going on here. As usual.
