[Shevchenko]

Hey Geoffry's second favourite club side, lol ,I must stop making jokes, his first one (Bangladesh) beat India

 

[Gibbsrules]

No suprises whos gonna win here.....
Its gonna be like slogging practice for players like Kemp,thats even if they have to bat.I bet Gibbs will want his opening spot back.

 

[Maxkarter]

Slogging practise...
Well we could see one of the quickest fifties from Kemp or a century? And a another ODI century for Smith?

Who knows? We might see an ODI double-century if Kemp opens batting......

 

[Shevchenko]

its easier said than done!
one thing is for sure , U should never under estimate another team , it doesnt matter how bad they are , they still can pull out that brilliant game out

[Shevchenko]

Yeah,I agree,it just takes one brilliant innings from someone and anything can happen...

 

[Shevchenko]

If I was the selector I would have chosen this team to play against Zim in the first ODI
1.G.Smith/M Van Wyk
2.AB De Villiers/A Bacher
3.J.Rudoplh
4.JP Duminy
5.A Prince/Z De Bruyn
6.J Kemp/N Boje
7.M Boucher/AB De Villiers
8.L Klusener
9.N Boje/ Albie Morkel
10.C Langeveltd/D Steyn
11.G.Kruger/A Thomas

My Test Team would be
1.G.Smith
2.AB De Villiers
3.J.Rudolph
4.J.Kallis
5.H.Gibbs
6.H.Amla(a great talent , just lacking on his technique)/M.Boucher/J Kemp
7.J.Kemp/M.Boucher
8.M.Boucher/S.Pollock
9.S.Pollock/N Boje
10.M.Ntini/D.Steyn/C.Langeveltd/A.Nell
11.C.Langeveltd/D.Steyn/A.Nell

that would be my team!!!

 

[Inside_Edge]

Ntini and Pollock are rested for this tour, Kallis is only playing in the tests. Looks like Langeveldt is back and so is Monde Zondeki.

 

[Shevchenko]

Zimbabwe were 198 for eight after 59 overs at tea on the first day of their four day match against a combined Easterns/Northerns XI at Willowmoore Park in Benoni on Friday.

At the crease are Prosper Utseya (16) and Tawanda Mupariwa (17). Elton Chigumbura top scored with 40 runs off 60 balls and hit five fours.
