I read somewher ethat it clashes with the Pkaistan calendar so plenty top Pakistan players won't be there for much of it.

Will probably be the weakest BPL in a long time.

This time there were so many top class foreign recruits. Now top Pakistanis gone, shine will be less.

I’m sorry but he can’t be serious about a test recall when he’s choosing commentary gigs over Logan Cup

Fair play to him times a tough in Zimbabwe but don’t claim to be serious about making the side when you clearly aren’t

He is one gig away from this logan cup being his last if he isnt recalled soon.

His mind is elsewhere and on the media. Good on him, wish him well. But for a player, he's one nail of sealing his coffin.

I think he gave up when passed over for selection. Perhaps he doesnt feel he is fit enough. He is 30+ isnt he.

I wonder how much these commentary gigs pay.. I think maybe he doesn't have a central contract which forces him to seek opportunities elsewhere. We just simply can't afford to give central contracts to test specialists because we don't play enough

High quality overseas list. The cancellation of the SA T20 shambles has meant that all their overseas players are now heading to Bangladesh too. BPL is also allowing 5 overseas players, instead of 4, this year. Despite this, I think there will be some decent players spending a lot of time on the bench.

sunil narine was benched in 1 match, so is Abbott. I heard that after 17th November, all Pakistani players will be available too.

Raza has played a couple of games but Cremer, Waller & Mire all warming the bench

Can't see Mire or Cremer breaking into that Comilla side

Good strikerate at least :)

The most Malcolm WaLler dismissal ever in todays game as he falls for a golden duck whilst attempting a run when the ball went straight to the keeper.

I think he is a decent bloke and has some talent on his day but i cant help feeling at times that he has stolen a career. Over 100 international games and 3 x BPL stints.

Seems to hit a purple patch of form and looks a world beater for a short time

Except Raza, all zimbos are warming in the bench and earning money :)
ZCF Hall of Famer
makes you wonder.. does Raza have a genuine claim of being our best player in terms of overall contributions? I'm sure BT would have played if the S.A. league was cancelled early enough but still at the moment Raza is doing great with a healthy test average of 42 to top it all off.
ZCF Hall of Famer
Raza played best innings of this bpl so far.
