ZCF OriginalZCF Hall of Famer

Opening post

There was a reason we were playing Price, Utseya and Cremer in the same team. They were our three best bowlers at the time.

I love legspin, so seeing Cremer and Mushangwe in the same team would make me happy, even if it wasn't the best selection! haha.

Same here, throw in Mutombodzi too, that would be dream come true for me. 3 way legspin attack, and probably Maruma can play as batting all rounder and get some of his googlies in :)

Always enjoyed watching Strang, Huckle and Murphy when they played.

Yeah, I hope Mutombodzi gets a game in the last couple of matches before he flys home. Not necessarily from a team perspective. Selfishly, I just want to see what he has got to offer...

Who has the better repuation, Mushangwe or Mutombodzi ? I'm sure i heard somewhere that the latter spun the ball more.

Certainly Mushangwe.

He has much better numbers, particularly in first class cricket, which is the best yardstick. He has been around the scene for a very long time considering that he is only 22. Was playing (fairly successfully) for Zim A at 18, and was actually playing first class cricket before the set up of the franchise system.

Mutombodzi has some potential as a batsman, although perhaps not in international terms. He also skippered the U19 side that they both played in, which would suggest that he is considered the better thinker of the two.
