😂😂 unreal what opportunities international cricket can provide for players. Taylor hasn’t scored a run in nearly a year and he blasts a ton and a half century and he’s rubbing shoulders with the best players in the world. Good for him as well. He deserves these kinds of opportunities. Just slightly surprised Sean Williams hasn’t been given a gig

Yeah this is true, although maybe the player role they were looking for was an opener or keeper? Not sure

Yep, I'd wager Madhevere, Williams and Muzarabani will get some T20 gig after our next intl series.

Yeah, pedigree plays a part too. He has that legendary status and one good knock is good enough to remind people of what he is capable of. I certainly thought the Pakistanis would try to latch onto Williams and Madhevere too.
By the way, why did the Sri Lankans not think of any Zimbabweans for LPL? We did well against them recently... Or did our guys not make themselves available? Would have been some good cricket in SL and a nice holiday too :)

a big part of it is because he was there already.
goes to show what can happen, this would never happen to a run of the mill county player.

This is something Ballance should consider too. Think of how many T20 gigs Raza has played. There are multiple opportunities

Ballance would absolutely get noticed if he played for Zim, with his ability

There’s a real love story going on right now with Ballance on this forum mate, where people seem to think he’d come back and play for us. When really, it’s very much a none starter

Yeah, very much like the Barney Rogers love that surfaces once in a while.
Now there's a guy who can make a comeback :)

Andy Flower part of the coaching staff for BTs team. I guess it makes sense now why they chose him.

I bet that would be amazing for Taylor. Wonder if he’s ever had dialogue with Flower

I'd be very surprised if Flower has not spoken to the best Zimbabwean batsman of the last 15 years.
I'd go one step further and say I'd be surprised if Bill Flower didnt have some sort of hand in Taylors development.
White Harare a small place in the nineties and so is the cricket scene.

Johnson Charles and Shahid Afridi..seriously? 😂 f**k, Irfan Pathan is there! Weird blend of names but again, stoked for BT! Said it earlier in the thread but he really does deserve these opportunities
