Actually, if these three do play, along with Blignaut who I think is playing, the four of them will make the Zimb A team atleast as strong as the one that came to Bangladesh and is on tour right now in South Africa!

In 100% agreement with you.

Even if the rebel players return, I doubt if all of them will play against the 'A' team. It is likely that a few of them will play in the 3rd test and in the ODIs.

[cricman]

any updates on the 3rd test, who playing for each side toss stuff like that, all these zim newspapers online are controlled(except for a few) by there gov't is really sad. Nothing on cricket no mention of cricket on any of these zim sites.

so if anybody has any updates (please Rabeed Imam) just lets us know, i wanna get the east zone taste out of my mouth.

[mahbubH]

I guess the match has not started yet!

[cricman]

its 10:30 in Zim, i thought test matches start early

[mahbubH]

Usually we get info at the end of day's play.

[rimjumana]

I found the following link:
http://www.zimupdate.com/broadcast/zbc_stream.asp

but unfortunately this does not work due to:
.......technical issues with Tel-One, streaming services have been temporarily suspended. We hope to have the services up and running as soon as Tel-One resolves these issues.

I will check that time to time. if it works I will let you know.

Thanks.

[Ahmed_B]

so.. still no news from any source i guess!

Cric in ZIM is not as popular as in BD i guess... so we cant find any news source.

[Ahmed_B]

I'm anxious to know if any of the Rebels are playing..

[little_master]

Here is some clue for you. Andy Blignaut is playing today among the Big Boys.
Report:
Zimbabwe A v Bangladesh A, Kwekwe Sports Club

Blignaut returns for final 'Test'

February 24, 2005



Zimbabwe A and Bangladesh A lock horns in the third and final four-day Test match, which gets underway at Kwekwe Sports Club on Friday. Bangladesh have already secured the series with back-to-back wins.


Zimbabwe A first-choice wicketkeeper Tafadzwa Mufambisi has been ruled out of the game because of injury and the selectors have called up Wisdom Siziba, a useful keeper and a top-order batsman.

Another change is the return of Andy Blignaut who is expected to bat an No. 6. in place of Gregory Strydom who has struggled with the bat. Blignaut, who was one of the rebels who went on strike last April, announced that he was prepared to play again earlier this week.

Terrence Duffin and Vusumuzi Sibanda are again expected to open with captain Dion Ebrahim, in need of runs, coming in at No. 3 while Kudakwashe Samunderu and Chamunorwa Chibhabha complete the top order line up.

With Mluleki Nkala still injured, Blessing Mahwire will lead the bowling attack with Waddington Mwayenga, Campbell Macmillan and legspinner Graeme Cremer.

Golam Nowsher, a member of the Bangladesh selection panel arrived in Zimbabwe on Monday and managed to see his side complete their 190-run victory on Tuesday. Mohammed Enamul Haque (jnr), who picked up ten wickets in the first match but was rested for the second game is likely to return.

Nice to know that a selector is there.

[Sam]

Hey guys, it's always better to have only one match thread. There is already one thread there on this 3rd test.
Better to merge this two threads in one.

[little_master]

Forum rules is a must read.

[babubangla]

Bring it on

[Zobair]

The two threads have been merged. Please do not create multiple threads on the same match. Thank you.

[chinaman]

Thank you very much, John Ward. We appreciate your help.

Zimbabwe-A won the toss and elected to bat first.

Zim-A: 266/8

Full scorecard will follow shortly.

[mahbubH]

Zimbabwe did better than last two tests.

[DstarRab]

Zim A were 66 for 4 and then 141 for 6. Saqib and Enamul took the first 4 wkts. Saqib had three at that stage. Sorry..I don't have anything more to add to that.

May be Blignaut scored some runs at 6.

[akabir77]

266/8 not bad if both batsmen at the crease are new/tailenders
