Zimbabwe in CWLand

a massive zebra

International Captain
I think this will be one of my few chances to get some wickets at the highest level and possibly secure a regular place in the side, so i'd prefer to play this series. :)
 

Tom Halsey

International Coach
Considering my domestic OD bowling average this year, I’m not over-impressed with the selection. I appear to be being overlooked. I also have a higher bowling rating than Neil for this domestic season, and didn’t get selected there either, which I stayed quiet for. I’m not over mad, but I think I merited selection on both counts.

Neil took a while to play ODI cricket. To be honest, we weren't sure he would be an ODI cricketer, but he got a chance due to LE being rested in England a few years back and since then he's a set piece.

Couldn't agree more. I am comfortable with my decision, I wonder if the others are? Supporting a dictorial regime.

Of course I do, but if Zimbabwe are only coming here for ODIs & not tests & don't include the 15 rebel players, if Nikhil is going to stand trial, etc, that to me says that we should take it realisticly. It is not as if I am going to go kill myself or hire a professional coach just because I'm not bowling well.

In real life I couldn't bowl fast to save my life.

I think people should treat it with more realism, because for most of us, it is about as close as we are ever going to come to professional domestic & International cricket.

there is only so much of it that can be realistic though cause in real life i open the bowling and bat 5 or open, and my bowling stats in real life compared to this are no where near as close.

my true career stats are
305 wickets @ 16.16

2654 runs @ 39

my career with my club which is over 10 years

the thing about this for me is that, whenever we play zimbabwe ever again, even if its a world cup final i expect neil, kyle, hakon and co to step aside and not play the match, id be very disapointed if they play against zimbabwe under any circumstances ever again in the CWxi system...

Until the dictator relinquishes control, I'm not playing them. Simple.

Unless the situation in Zimbabwe changes (which it has to...Mugabe can only grow so old, after all...), yes, I won't play Zimbabwe again.

Or what Neil said.
