***Official*** Pakistan in Zimbabwe

[Maximas]

Not too keen on Manzoor and Adnan Akmal ahead of Umar Akmal either tbh, but I can understand the selectors picking a full strength team after the SA tour though now that I think about it

 

[smash84]

There are no young batsmen in the squad who aren't already established at test level, the bowlers are also the standard test bowlers, this tour should've been about development, not consolidation and continuity.

should have liked the post back then but my then I had selected this already and moved on to the next page

Rahat Ali is another left-armer, right? Anyone ever played an attack of three left arm quicks before?

 

[Cabinet96]

Pakistan themselves did it in the Champions Trophy, but I don't know about tests.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Rahat is a decent prospect. But he does have the habit of bowling **** a few times in the over.

Really want to see Talha and Sadaf playing a test.

 

[Howe_zat]

Is Sadaf his real name, or just something people told him to do so much he just accepted it

 

[Maximas]

after another player boycott Zimbabwe is settled again, the country really is in a shambles cricketwise though

 

[Chook Herron]

ZC treat their players like crap and their finances, corruption and incomptence will continue to see player boycotts in the future.

 

[Maximas]

absolutely, not saying it's the players fault at all

His name is probably the biggest reason he doesn't get selected

It is like a guy in the West named Jane

It's a decent squad now that Farhat and Faisal aren't playing.I'm just surprised Gul isn't bakc.Didn't he recover from the Injury?

 

[smash84]

when did Faisal opt out?

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Welcome back Salman.

Kyle Jarvis has pulled out of the series to take up a deal with Lancashire. I doubt he'll play for Zimbabwe again

well, that is really **** for zim, their best bowler gone

 

[Daemon]

****ing England

 

[Maximas]

players from both sides don't want to play this series it seems

 

[morgieb]

At this rate, Zimbabwe will be lucky to get a full XI.

At this rate, Zimbabwe will be lucky to get a full XI.

Sadly it is approaching the point where it's pointless having Zimbabwe in Test cricket; any Test standard players they produce will leave. You can earn significantly more playing club cricket as an overseas pro than you can on a central contract from ZC; it's not even just First Class teams they're competing with anymore.

straight swap: Ireland for Zimbabwe
