i was going to post that up. that is embarassing, australia should just send the gladesville u-6s to play them because its not worth our player's time going to that gawd-forsaken country.

Doesn't seem to be much point in playing a series agaist them at the moment.

They should be given time to sort out their problems and get a full strenght side togetther.

There is nothing for us to schieve by playing them at the moment.

But what are the chances of the ICC actually doing somethinbg about it.

They had 4 players who had some ODI experience.

Taibu
Ebrahim
Sibanda &
Masitkenyre (sp?)

There is absolutly no point in sending Australia there.

I can't believe before the mayhem Sibanda was thought of as an opening bat. His first class batting average is like 16.

Yeah what a joke.

Thing is I saw something like this being on the cards, This is an embarrisment to International Cricket, This Zimbabwe team would probably struggle against an ICC Associate nation. This whole saga is basically apartite in reverse.

Don't get me wrong I applaude them picking black players but at the same time their ability has to warrant selection.

The sooner the ICC revoke their test status the better. (At least until they wake up to themselves)

Below is a like to the scorecard of that match.

I had figures of 4 for 11 this year. We bowled them out for 17 though. My partner in crime got 6 for 6. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Seriously though, Zimbabwe should be suspended immediately. What a joke. I'd rather Kenya were in than them at the moment. Lara's record won't last long if they continue. It is a farce.

mind u it was zimbabwe's third string side apparently but still 35 :clap:

its good to send them
warne will get over the top of murali and take the record
i mean that stupid little chucker plays countries like bangladesh and kenya and zimbabwe on a regular basis so about 40 percent of his wickets are against crickets minnows not exactly something u should be bragging about :roll:

As bad as Zimbabwe are, Chaminda Vaas is certainly a freakish bowler when he gets it right. The 3 lowest ever ODI scores have mostly been because of him.[/quote]

Who was the highest scorer and what was it?

The funniest thing was listening to Sports Tonght and hearing

" Top score was 7. The next best was sundries with 6." :lol:
