i ask you cricket fans,when was the last time we've seen mark boucher being dropped from the national side?

Well,I CAN'T WAIT to see colin ingram play for S.A,the guy is just too good,deserved this after some great,and i mean great performances in the domestic season in S.A,was lucky enough to catch most of his innings on the tele.Don't get me started on Juan Theron,easily the best T20 quick bowler i've seen recently,he deserved a slot in the ODI squad to get fast tracked into the WC squad.Also good to see robin peterson back in the squad.

[nakibahmed]

[nakibahmed]

[ialbd]

Grant Flower making a comeback?? is he 40+ by now? just one word... amazing....

he wasnt away from competitive cricket (english county) and given Zim has failed to produce anything close to the Flower brothers his comeback should work....

wonder why taylor was dropped...

[Murad]

Taylor wasn't dropped. Cricinfo made a mistake, I think.

he's been added today,yesterday there was a whole paragraph in that same article fussing about taylor's inclusion,its gone now :S

Well,back to Grant Flower,give it up to international cricket's FIRST coach-player!

[Naimul_Hd]

What ?? Grant Flower is returning back at 40 ??

Alister campbell ki dosh korlo ? sheo kheluk...then he will be the first ever selector to play in the main team !

I would prefer 19 yrs old player any day over 40 yrs old man. Zim should consider long term benefit, not just to look good in papers !

I got autograph of Flower Brothers when they tour bangladesh in '93!
I was a class eight student and that was such a cool thing to brag about among friends...lol

iam guessing injury,now way he could be dropped for anything else.

Yeah,Price is EASILY the friendliest cricketer i've seen on the field,i remember,the last time he toured bangladesh,fielding at deep mid-on,he was having a great time interacting,pointing and smiling at the crowd,who were surprisingly very in-abusive!At one point he pulled his sleeves and started showing off his muscles,next thing you know,he was literally rolling on the ground laughing because an over weight spectator took off his shirt and started jiggling his gut in response,great times!

[brockley]

His father is very ill.

[nakibahmed]

kamran akmal out with surgery,that's going to be a big blow to pakistan!

[Neel Here]

bookies would be heartbroken.

Batting wise the Zims just topped us in T20. We could never bat like that in T20.

Guys like Tamim, Ashraful, Shakib, Zunaid gets out randomly swinging the bat, thinking it's a street cricket, and then we have to be stuck with painful Imrul, Roqibul, Riyad and others. All out for 120
