Opening post

Looks like a few T20 matches are taking place before the India tour starting tomorrow.
ZCF Hall of Famer
Start tomorrow apparently.
ZCF Hall of Famer
Two matches scheduled for Friday and Saturday.

Wonder if forum favourite anashes will be getting a game 😂

I see Ireland's full side are playing a 4 day match against West Indies "A" today, we will be lucky to play any red ball cricket before that test.

We play red ball as a warm up for T20 so I'm assuming we'll play T20 before the test.

One warm up regional game with online "selectors"

I personally would give Shumba a go at the top of the order. He used to do it with Wes in the Under 19s and he would get off to a flier every time. He struggles to get going coming in at 5 or 6 but he has ability.

If they give some of these guys 100 opportunities they still won't make it at top level, but hey give it a go.

If wishes were horses....

Myers looked good today.

I actually feel like he was unlucky. They had zero issues showing him the door. Look at his record and Marumani’s. Not a bad player actually. These guys are all still young. 22 or 23. Still early days for a batsman

Ya I rate Milton, he'll come good. I don't think T20 is his format though, he can't hit it off the square.

So williams has retired from 20/20 and perhaps Ervine has been retired by ZC or at least overlooked.

The Salamander must be watching this and thinking ffs.

We all assumed Gumbie had shot his bolt for a while after the last series and yet here he is bogging the innings at 35 off 35.
ZCF Hall of Famer
Gumbie was batting so slowly they actually retired him out 😂

Are Salmon and Ebrahim even here yet? I'd heard the former is arriving on Monday. Not much time to prep before India!
ZCF Hall of Famer
I'm sure he's been primed and will just do what Mutendira tells him. We could be getting another Ratshit.
ZCF Hall of Famer
That was exactly my initial reaction too when they announced him. He's a guy with no big international reputation or pedigree - to me it screams guy willing to be a 'yes man' in exchange for a big salary and a big break. The other interviewees were Grant, Sean Ervine and Domingo who all would have been significantly bigger personalities and more demanding....

I hope we are proved wrong.

Let's give him a chance shall we. He hasn't earnt any unfortunate nicknames just yet 🤣🤣🤣.

I see he has cart blanche where it comes to appointing his technical team so I'm sure he is not that much of a stooge

You really shouldn't believe what ZC press releases say.
