Zimbabwe vs Bangladesh vs Kenya

[Sudeep]

You make it sound so dirty and ***ually perverted

LOL.

I was thinking of using "impressions" but tried to be a little too fancy.

 

[Craig]

His performances at the World Cup matter far more than any of his performances at Warwickshire. He has real potential.

What one good game v Sri Lanka?

I dont think it will be a gamble Warwickshire will be doing again in signing somebody outside of the Test arena.

He picked up a fifer vs SL but bowled well in the other games too. He has a very good googly.

 

[cbuts]

It's with out the rebels not with them

For me in Tests

1.Banagladesh
2.Kenya
3.Zimbabwe

In ODI's

1.Kenya
2.Bangaladesh
3.Zimbabawe

agreed

Why not?

A lot less money would be needed to pay them, and you know they'll be there for a full season.

 

[Nate]

yea but when you can only have a few international players... you aint really gunna pick a bunch of kenyans...
if they do - MAD, thats really good for cricket, but i dont see it happening often

 

[Revelation]

i won't bet on Ban beating WI. After all the odds on WI winning are 1/200 and on Ban it's 16/1.

 

[Sudeep]

WI beat by Bangladesh by one wicket.

Definitely improvement on Bangladesh's part. But let's see if they can give WI a run for their money during the entire tour.

 

[V Reddy]

Bangladesh
Kenya
Zimbabwe

Bangladesh's bowling has improved enormously in the last year or so imo. It's a pity that Kenya is hardly playing any Cricket. I think they could have really improved if they got more exposure. They only played one tournament in WI after that Sharjah cup early last year. About Zim , forget it.

Can't agree with you more.

If Kenya were playing as much cricket as Bangladesh, maybe we could compare both better.

Fair point, but if your going to sign somebody, you all also want them to preform...

without the rebels, i would still go with zimbabwe having the best of the 3 teams in the one-dayers. they still have players like taibu in them and none of the current bangladeshi or kenyan players can match taibu. also, in taylor and matsikeneri, they have 2 decent batsman. ebrahim also has the potential to be one provided he can score a bit quicker. i have never seen ebrahim taking any risks. in the bowling department, they have only 2 good bowlers in hondo and panyangara, but then they are not as good as the other bowlers in international cricket in tests, however, they are good one-day bowlers.

People seem to overrate Taibu here. I say Odumbe, Tikolo, Shah, Odoyo , Bashar ,etc,. are better than him. Taibu isn't capable of big hits too. You seem to rate Taylor and Stuart pretty highly. I say the whole of Kenya's batsman except for David Obuya are better than them and i would take Saleh, Ashraful ,Kapali ,etc,. over them any day. I didn't watch much of the new Zim bowlers as it was just too boring, i can't comment on them but surely the way runs are being scored against them they must be pretty bad

 

[Nate]

i think its interesting that since the rebels left hondo has been bowling quite poorly... i know he wasnt amazing in the first place but he certainly bowled well with streak and co.

That's because he didn't have to lead the line then.

 

[Loony BoB]

Captaincy skills may also come into Hondo's change of form. Maybe Streak understood how to set fields for Hondo a bit better than Taibu does.

Kenya and Zimbabwe may as well start an international domestic series a la the Windies. Maybe Nigeria could join in. They could form the "African Nations" squad and possibly have a decent team in a couple of years. Heh.

In one of the early world cups there was a team called East Africa.

Very few of the current Zimbabwe side would get in the Kenya team. Taibu and Ebrahim are the only ones I can think of.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Hondo would for sure, as would Vermeulen.

The other sides that you'd want in a Southern African 'league' would be Uganda and Namibia.

 

[Loony BoB]

Whoops. Yeah, I meant Namibia, not Nigeria. My bad.

I seriously think it's a good idea, though, especially with Zimbabwe having lowered their status drastically.

if theres one good thing thats come from all this (and i said IF ) then its that a few youngsters have been unearthed and got a bit of experience. theres some talent there to raise and no doubt at least one guy whos gunna be in the future side (under19s world cup anyone...)
