*Official* Zimbabwe in England (One Off Test)

[chris.hinton]

Bowling so full that its basically hitting half-vollies with no spin.

Bowling machine stuff really

 

[MasterBlaster24]

Is it true that Brendan Taylor could come out of retirement to represent Zimbabwe in Test cricket again after his ban ends?

 

[chris.hinton]

And Bashir gets a wicket

 

[Burgey]

Clearly bounced. Typical cheating Poms.

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

Bashir the youngest player to take 50 test wickets for England. Some feat

 

[Burgey]

Extraordinary rise really. He didn't take that many wickets for Lindfield in the Sydney Shires competition.

 

[SeamUp]

And Bashir gets a wicket

Perfect delivery for a ROS to a LHB

Got that dip for the turn.

 

[SeamUp]

Tawanda Muyeye aswell but it looks like he wants to play for England

Does he have a realistic chance? I guess it comes down to how patriotic you feel. Also if people higher up in Zimbabwe cricket can sell a vision I guess. Things dropped so low there.

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

I suppose it is a very odd career , Bashir
is basically making a living solely by being a Test cricketer, not good enough for his county Somerset and was even dropped by Glamorgan while on loan yet is England's no.1 spinner .

 

[SeamUp]

Bennett so good. People will look at how quickly he scores but he never looks like he is forcing things which is a good sign.

Would be amazed if Muyeye is anywhere near England thinking even though he is at Kent. He'd need to move to a D1 county and score runs to be in with a sniff.

 

[chris.hinton]

Bennett is very good

 

[Burgey]

Yeah he’s playing some quality shots here.

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

I rate him highly and still so young ..
Hes in the Aiden Markram mould of attacking openers

Well things can change when opportunities are available. Zim basically have been an associate nation in recent times.

 

[kevinw]

Cook has been really unlucky today.

 

[Chubb]

Going to kiss of death them but Zimbabweans tend to be good at playing crappy spin because there’s a lot of it in their domestic comp and Bashir is a crappy spinner.

Yeah but Bennett has played an outrageous innings at just 21 years old, looked a million bucks out there

Exceptional hand-eye. My concern is with his lack of foot movement if the ball was swinging.

 

[Chubb]

Shouldn’t have said a ****ing word.
