Raza played best innings of this bpl so far.
Wonderful to watch Raza's innings today!
Presumably that is the highest ever score by a Zimbo in a foreign T20 competition?...

Looks like a great knock!
Good question. Murray Goodwin got 102 in one of his T20 knocksin England. Not sure how that gets classified in terms of "Zimbo" and "foreign T20 competition". Confusing setup :)

Playing at the Bangladesh Premier League, A Pakistani born Scotland educated Zimbabwean cricketer came very close to beating the highest score record of a Zimbabwe born Australia raised player made at the English T20 league, playing there as a local.

Very good! 😂
Let's say Goodwin doesn't count. As you say, he was a local by then! Has Ervine got a T20 ton too? If so, that doesn't count either! haha.

Then the BPL is indeed of poor quality as I said! Seems to me the Afghan league was more challenging.
Smacked around a bunch of non-bowlers(Bresnan aside). I don't think any Province in Zimbabwe currently has an attack that poor, and I don't any reserve/varsity league attack in SA is that poor.
That Cremer hasn't played so far is no accident. No one wants to gift easy runs in this format. Hopefully that snub will urge him to seriously work on his game.
All the same it's a great knock, and one to be celebrated.
I think this knock of his (although slightly outshone by the naturally dangerous Elton) remains his best.
