***Official*** New Zealand tour of Zimbabwe and South Africa 2016

[straw man]

Does no one bowl short in Zimbabwe or something?

Another vote for No.

Wagner doing well to get it up there with not a whole lot in the pitch.

So what would a Zimbabwe XI look like if they had all the players that left for England or other shores, or retired early?

That's a good question.

Look at the guys that have left: Taylor, the Curran brothers, Colin de Gradhomme (spelling?), Ballance, Kyle Jarvis. Zimbabwe would be far stronger if these guys were available.

I hope Ntini doesn't think about committing suicide again.

into the Feeling Sorry For Zimbabwe zone now

Will Sodhi get to bowl?

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Can they reach 100?

 

[Bahnz]

Well this is pretty **** isn't it.

This commentator speaks faster than Zimabwe's wickets are falling. Getting pretty hard to listen to him.

 

[Bahnz]

**** me, what is going on with Southee's hair?

Dav Whatmore on his troubled tenure as Zimbabwe coach | Cricket | ESPN Cricinfo

This article makes for depressing reading. Loved this particular bit:

"If Dav Whatmore was coaching India and he lost three times in a row to Afghanistan, would he have survived?" asks Mukuhlani. "Why on earth should he survive for doing that in Zimbabwe?"

Sound reasoning.

Does cricket need a strong Zimbabwe?

 

[_Ed_]

Totally understand the Cricinfo commentator trying to find positives, but he's going a bit overboard about a guy who's on 10. Shades of Quiney.

New bloke I think, far better than reading the English commentators get flustered

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Well done - I stayed up for the century

If you thought things couldn't be more pathetic...

Interesting that Sodhi is into his 13th over in his spell and he only came on after the 8th wicket fell and has 0-43.

I know it is only Zimbabwe but still...
