U19 Captain
I'm a big fan of Taibu and I hope he can continue his cricketing career at a high level in another country, would like to see him in England playing some county cricket, any indication yet as to where he will go?
I think the first class sides they sent away to India and South Africa are a good indication of what they are looking at in terms of team setup and depth. Brendan was keeping in India (as far as I know... I could be wrong on that though, Chappie could very well have been keeping) and Alester was keeping in South Africa, along with opening the batting and also captaining the side. This suggests to me that they are the prime candidates.Chubb said:I did consider Brendan but I felt he had a lot to do at the top of the order with Terry. I don't think Alester will be back again. The other person they might try (don't bet on it or against it) is young Tafadzwa Mufambisi, who'll be in Taibu's place at Mash. Ebrahim is the kind of thing they might do (it could be worse, it could be Vusi ). It's impossible to predict what's going to happen next.
I think they were more looking to the future with Ham captaining there. I think they'd still give it to Ebrahim at this stage.chaminda_00 said:Taylor was keeping in India, in the scorecards i saw and batting at 5, with Masakadza captaining with Ebrahim also playing. So on th back of that my prediction, if they don't quit themselves is Masakadza captaining, Taylor at 5 and Ferreira and Terry opening the batting.
Lmao go Tatenda!Chubb said:Maybe Chingoka will open the bowling and Bvute will open the batting against West Indies next May!
I think Tatenda will absolutely own the club league and the FC too- he's a better batsman than any in Bangladesh save Habibul.Jungle Jumbo said:Interesting news...
Tatenda Taibu, the recently stood down Zimbabwe captain and wicket keeper batsman has been signed up by Dhaka Premier League (DPL) side City Club. The DPL is a (relatively) high profile Bangladeshi club league, in which all the major first class and national team players turn out. Teams are allowed to field one overseas player in the first round, which starts in the second week of December, and two in the super six stage.
Should be interesting to see how Taibu fairs in Asia, seeing how he has previously shone on the 2005 tour to Bangladesh. I'll keep anyone interested updated both here and in the Bangladesh thread.
