Two test matches? Does this means not even Zimbabwe wants to play more than two test matches with West Indies? How much lower can we go?

In reply to Narper

I have Bonner slated to score an unbeaten double century in one of the test matches!!!!!

In reply to Dukes

Correct is right

His test average should move into the 40s

Tours are governed by ICC’s FTP, for donkey yrs. now ICC has only alloted 2 tests maximum 3 to low ranked teams. Just think back.

Devon Thomas will be there


Do selection in World Cup T-20 or Aussie Tour was done on " Basis".....Cariah and Chase, can be selected....why not Michael.....give him the chance to be another successful Michael....
My opinion, he is one of better red ball batter..... experienced,past performance....lacks confidence....as most players under present management....give him last 10 test ....perform or perish ..

Devon Thomas....I supported his inclusion...but the manner he batted....no technique to handle the faster men... don't think he can rectify his technical glitches in South Africa series time....

This tour of southern africa clashes with t20 leagues that some players are part of the uae league starts just before the zimbabwean test and holder reifer and joseph are rumoured to be in it so i dont know if they going to be in the tests in zimbabweE
