*Official* Zimbabwe in Bangladesh 2010

[Athlai]

Bowling average is close to 40 (39.91) when you factor in only performances against Aus, England, India, NZ, Pak, RSA, Sri Lanka and the West Indies, a better reflection of Razzak’s ability and standing. If you include only performances against subcontinent rivals (25+ ODIs), the average approaches 50. Minnow basher.

Economy rate. So important.

Razzak against his peers since his debut:

Bowling records | One-Day Internationals | Cricinfo Statsguru | ESPN Cricinfo

http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/en...4;spanval1=span;template=results;type=bowling

All of the players listed above him are better than him without doubt but he is still certainly competitive. But he is ODI class IMO, never going to be a world beater but could flirt with selection as an ODI spinner in a fair few times over his career. Never going to be a certain starter in a proper team but he's in the ballpark.

Shakib what's wrong with yeh boy? Seems Shakib won't perform unless he's under pressure

Haha wouldn't be surprised to see him bat very well if his bowling is a bit off. Really seems to struggle with the ideal balance.

awta, the only match i saw him do well with both bat and ball was that 1st odi vs NZ

 

[TT Boy]

Haven’t watched a ball but I take it Zim are short by at least 50?

Price or Prosper to open the bowling.

Dabengwa bats below Utseya and isn't a better bowler than Brendan Taylor but plays international cricket. What a man.

Must be a gun playa like hopkins

 

[Athlai]

He isn't terrible.

He isn't terrible.

Haha nah he really is.

Haha nah he really is.

I meant as a person.

 

[Athlai]

Tamim with 2500 ODI runs while still 21.

Only Tendulkar and Afridi with more runs at this age. And Afridi has question marks around his age.

 

[cricman]

What a shocking decision

Effing Moron!

Could argue that Tamin's age is debatable as well. Still, a great achievement.

Disagree.

When Tamim was playing in the U-17 and U-19's the ICC were doing the Wrist Tests

 

[morgieb]

Hmmm.

I'm willing to take you guys word for it, but wasn't he around 16/17 when he made his debut? Seems a little too young for the game.

Tendulkar was how old?

And Tamim is clearly a decent talent playing for a lacklustre team.

 

[M0rphin3]

Kayes making this match interesting, might well go into the 48th/49th overs and shakib hit the winning runs

 

[TT Boy]

Zim would be favourites here if Cremer was playing. Only got 9 banker overs left.
