5 matches of international T20? Waaay too much. Personally would like to see the shortest format be limited to just franchise cricket + the world T20. Hope we don't see T20s becoming the new ODIs (7 match series, etc)

 

[CremerCurrans]

These arn't International matches, because they are outside the FTP. South African cricket requested them, so they could have more practice before the T20 World Cup. Zimbabwe had nothing better to do so they agreed.

Good to see Keegan Meth back after his 'toothless' performance against bangladesh last year!

 

[CremerCurrans]

It looks like Bangladesh is joining the party, turning it into a tri-series.

Zim, SA T20s now a three nation series

Zimbabwe Select XI 48/4 (9.1 ov, BRM Taylor 6*, Elias Sunny 1/1) | Live Scorecard | ESPN Cricinfo

It looks like Cremer is bowling well again. Also It's great to see Craig Ervine back playing for Zimbabwe.

Must be a spinners wicket, we lost three quick wickets.

Here it says June 18th is the first match....there you are cribbing that only 4 registrations has happened for Fantasy cricket....today is June 17th....

there I see...already you closed the registrations today itself....

 

[Sedition]

Bangladesh and Zimbabwe are playing right now though, so registrations closed at the right time Zimmers were just planning on using their whole playing pool, but the BCCI made them name a squad at the last second

 

[jacobfelix]

Oh Yeah...like a stealthy cat....swirler edits the date now....

Zimbabwe set them a target of 155.

Wow I really like the look of this bowler Muzhange. That ball to Rahim was an absolute beauty.

Bangla have left too much to do for the later overs.The req rr is going up and they must look to score rapidly now

 

[CremerCurrans]

Wow I really like the look of this bowler Muzhange. That ball to Rahim was an absolute beauty.

Couldn't agree more! He has a great yorker. Did a lot of work with Gillespie, while he was coach of the Rhinos.
