How did they pick Waddy?!

[butchering lee]

so they couldn't stick to the team! ewing out - and is it Waddy in (the one you guys were saying is...well - not up to much!)

[Prince EWS]

Indeed. Waddy is terrible.

[butchering lee]

lets hope he can bat a bit cos they'll be calling on those talents before lunch if this continues

[Prince EWS]

Nope - he cant really bat at all.

Cant really bowl at all either.....

waddy looks like a stick man who can't bend his arms and legs when he bowls.

he can get some decent bounce.

ireland should have played instead though

[Paoli]

Ireland's no quicker than medium though. His effect in the test arena remains to be seen. He'd have to move the ball quite a bit, and in the one-dayers he didn't get enough to suggest he would be a big prospect in the test arena.

He should attempt to turn himself into an Adam Dale type bowler. Adam Dale was only medium pace, but had great effect in One-Dayers because he could swing it a mile.

from what i read...ireland was set to play...mwayenga must have been a late inclusion

Young seamer Anthony Ireland is set to replace Ewing in the bowling, a reward for his impressive display for the Zimbabwe Board XI in a drawn three-day match against India at Mutare Sports Club last week.

[Paoli]

Who'd want to let politics get in the way of cricket?

Zimbabwe Cricket always do this though. In South Africa, Taylor and Chigumbura weren't even in the squad, but mysteriously played in the first test.

[Paoli]

Waddy got a decent wicket; a bit more ass than class but no Zimbabwean bowler has ever had trouble getting rid of Ganguly; why should it change now with an ordinary long hop outside off?!

of course i didn't see it but the match bullitin sain "a very impressive debut" ???
