Zimbabwe news: Grant Flower to make international return | Zimbabwe Cricket News | Cricinfo.com

Wow talk about grave robbing. can't wait to see him play, I never go to

Whaaat? This is so ridiculous.

And Taylor is axed from ODI and T20. Even more ridiculous.

This is big news for Zimbabwe. Grant Flower is back. He is one of the best batsmen Zimbabwe ever had.

The strang thing is that Ray Price is missing from the squad. He is currently listed 4th in the ODI rankings. Unless he has an injury it makes no sense to exclude him.

If you had looked, you would have seen that posted two post above you :sarcasm

Grant Flower, Needs to Play World Cup is what people are now saying.

Also, I just came to know that Grant Flower's brother Andy along with Henry Olongo have a shoot on site order in Zimbabwe?

 

[ZexyZahid]

I actually thought that Grant Flower came back to Zimbabwe with the intention of playing in the World Cup and take leave the international scene again.

 

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

But what about the Shoot on Site order thing/

 

[ZexyZahid]

From this Wikipedia link I can read an warrant was issued against him, but I don't know about the shoot on sight.

'Olonga achieved international recognition (along with team mate Andy Flower) in 2003 by wearing a black armband in a Cricket World Cup match to protest against the policies of Zimbabwe's government, led by Robert Mugabe.

This act led to a warrant issued in Zimbabwe for Olonga's arrest on charges of treason (which carries the death penalty in Zimbabwe) and forced him to retire from international cricket and temporarily go into hiding.'

Henry Olonga

Yes, Olonga along with Andy left the country and did not return back since then. Really Sad to see Zimbabwe cricket losing good cricketers due to politics

 

[riz7khan12]

the government has changed since then, so it should be alright for them to go back home.

 

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

But if not.. Then.. The they will kill you for giving them this suggestion

 

[SciD]

Plenty of good batsman in RSA who could have been picked ahead of Loots Bosman.

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

Lol no captai named. What is Shahid Afridi then?

 

[sami ullah khan]

^Another crap decision. It strengthens my belief that PCB top brass in involved in fixing. They see Afridi as an impediment and therefore have not named him captain yet.
