SA Composite XI 186 - a lead of 97. Could've been worse...

it was on the side of the white players. 95% of all zimbabweans black or white like myself want to see the best zimbabwean side on the field, regardless of race, coulor religion or anything else that could come into play.

its absolute nonsence to think a quota system would work, but the ZCU side was to fied a mainly black side to get away from the fact Zimbabwe was once a colony. It is very sad to hear this as this now confirms that ZCU are in direct contact with mugabes regemes.

So once chingoka and co are out of office, we should see a mass injection of top overseas zimbabweansback in the side the nation hopes.

When you have Streak, Price, Brent, Taylor and Williams all fighting for three places, well, that's just stupid - there is room for all of them in the first eleven.

1. V. Sibanda

2. B. Taylor

3. T. Taibu (wk)

4. S. Williams

5. C. Chibhabha

6. H. Masakadza

7. H. Streak

8. E. Chigumbura

9. P. Utseya (c)

10. G. Brent

11. R. Price

That should be the apolitical eleven, IMO. Not exactly a bad batting lineup either, First Class centuries to each player.
great win for zimbabwe chimgumbura bowled well 5/33

i wonder who said that it is impossible to win a match with a score of 89 in the first innings :)

I'm glad they proved me wrong. Zimbabwe are on very thin ice, in that if they lose to a team like the SAC XI, it will give them a lot of negative publicity in the media. Even though they won, I bet we'll see some articles saying they should have won by more :o

Agreed, but i stil feel your underestimating Dabengwa. He has been the only consistent player on the zimbabwe side, and everyone straight away goes and drops him because he hasnt done anything majorly spectacular.
