***Official **** Pakistan in Zimbabwe

International 12th Man
What a great Sunday morning! Just came back from nets and what do I see? My lad Vitori is bowling beautifully with the new ball. :wub:

Too bad the other talented young seamer Jarvis is not playing today. Watching them operate together really gives me a lot of hope for Zim cricket.

Unfortunately Mpofu appears to be bullet proof, despite averaging over 60 in ODIs not involving associates and Bangladesh.

Quiet start by the Pak openers but Zim will only win this by taking 10 wickets. Not enough runs.

Maybe Mpofu has some important connections like Imran Farhat has. :ph34r:

Looks to be some juice in the deck. And Vitori is nippy enough to make use of that. As you mention, starting cautiously wouldn't hurt the Pak guys. Would love to see a slip more and Vitori nipping out one or two!

Elton and Propser before Price. :wacko: Only way Zim will make inroads is through creating pressure, so Price needed to be choking them from the outset. Poor captaincy from Taylor.

I don't know why they do it. I am a big fan of Imran Nazir, even he never got that much chances, he was selected for a couple of ODI's. If he didn't perform, they dropped him. But this guy has got more chances than Muhammad Sami. I don't know on which grounds he is playing in Pakistani side. His father in law is the national selector, if i am not mistaken. And yeah that guy Ramiz Raja deserved a chance to play all 3 ODI's.
Imran Nazir is a joke. He has been involved in kidnapping. He shouldn't be allowed to play cricket.

He was also ****. Farhat put up the domestic performances to arguably deserve a run to sink or swim. He obviously should've been dispensed with a long time ago when he failed but he was deserving of the original chance. Nazir should never have played for Pakistan at all in anything other than T20 cricket; his record at all levels has always been terrible.

there is no way Farhat should be selected over Khurram or Nasir Jamshed he has exhausted all his chances and even if he bats ,like Bradman in FC he should still be no way near the team.

And I didn't say he should. You have a great knack for mis-interpreting everything I post. :p

I said he deserved his initial chance, which is a lot more than you can say for Nazir. His last seventeen or eighteen lifelines have been undeserved though obviously.

How many years has it been since Zimbabwe beat Pakistan in an international (any format), 13+ years?

Gonna suffer a 10 wicket drubbing here unless Hafeez or Farhat do something stupid. Playing Prosper here was excessive, its Harare. Jarvis should have played infront of Chris and Lamb for Prosper. Hopefully Cremer is fit for the NZ series.

Pakistan gives minnows their first victories and then keep on wining against them. Bangladesh is perfect example, we lost to them in 1999, since then we haven't lost a single match.

Saleem Malik said that game was chucked and he should know he played in it! But I can't recall the last time when Zim beat Pak. Could be mid to late 90s when Zim toured Pak?

Anyhow 100 for Hafeez. Last 18 months he has averaged 39 in ODIs with the bat (SR 77) and 33 with the ball (ER 4.19). Top all-rounder.
