Zimbabwe's like a transit lounge with the amount of players coming and going. Anyone know what Coventry, Meth and Querl have been up to?

Its all nice and fair for the lad to be coming back and he was really picking up on his game when he left. But question is cricket being cricket two years is a long time for someone to be out of the game. What has he been up to surely he wont just wont into the team. I remember when Streak and Blignaut came back it wasn't all roses for them on that forgetable South African tour.

It would have been nice if he came back a bit earlier and had some first class cricket and maybe even a tour of BD and a WC ......

Cremer's problems were getting exposed as he went into his golf sojourn. He spins the ball well and has a great googly, but he was very slow through the air. Batsmen had a lot of time to pick him irrespective of the amount of spin. And he also served up a boundary ball once in 2 overs at least. With the break, things would have become worse. He's got a lot of work to do for a genuine comeback in my view.

Yes, he's got a lot of work to do, but the non-spinning Kamungozis and Utseyas are not going to get us wickets (especially in test-matches).....

Maybe we can pick Nyumbu, or even someone like Mufudza or Wellington Masakadza.......

Look Cremer isn't Shane Warne but he has a decent ODI record and well his test record isn't real flash but he's a better batsman than M'shangwe or Nyumbu and they've had in different results in the two tests they've played ......

I'll feel much better with Cremer batting 8-9 in the test side ......

The ZCFOutcast would be spewing Cremer has returned lol
Hearing rumours that Coventry and Meth may be coming back as well now!

Also hearing rumours that there could be a mass exodus of players, not just BT!
