Dear Members and Guests
The PakPassion team are delighted to welcome you back to our forums.
You will have noticed that we have re-launched the forums with a new software that we feel will provide our members with a much better all-round experience.
As with any upgrade, it will take a bit of time to get used to and there may be some issues that will need correcting. We have set up this thread
for you to report any issues that need looking into by our technicians or if you have any suggestions regarding the design and the layout of the forums.
We thank you for your patience whilst the forums were not available, but as you can imagine, a project like this takes a lot of planning, organising and hard work.
So, welcome back and happy posting!

The Zimbabwe team is a bunch of youngsters who will be looking to upset a team or two during the mega event
By PakPassion Staff (8th January, 2015)
Zimbabwe will be heading into the 2015 World Cup with lots of hope and promise. This time the team will be lead by Elton Chigumbura who succeeded Brendan Taylor recently as Captain. Zimbabwe has been an inconsistent team with flashes of brilliance
such as when they shocked everyone by defeating Australia.
Zimbabwe are ranked number 10 in ODI's.
World Cup Record
1975 - (England) DNP
1979 - (England) DNP
1983 - (England) Group stage
1987 - (India/Pakistan) Group stage
1992 - (Australia/New Zealand) Round-robin stage
1996 - (India/Pakistan/Sri Lanka) Group stage
1999 - (England) Super Sixes
2003 - (South Africa/Zimbabwe) Super Sixes
2007 - (West Indies) Group stage
2011 - (India/Sri Lanka/Bangladesh) Group stage
Squad
Elton Chigumbura (C), Sikandar Raza, Regis Chakabva, Tendai Chatara, Chamu Chibhabha, Craig Ervine, Tafadzwa Kamungozi, Hamilton Masakadza, Stuart Matsikenyeri, Solomon Mire, Tawanda Mupariwa, Tinashe Panyangara, Brendan Taylor (WK), Prosper Utseya, Sean Williams.
Top 3 players to watch
Brendan Taylor
Brendan Taylor "The Marquee Man". He can adapt to any match situation and can bail his team out as he has done many times in the past with his cool and composed approach with the bat.
Batting average: 33.27 Strike rate : 72.50
Elton Chigumbura
Zimbabwe Captain is a useful all-rounder for his team. He is one of the hardest-hitting batsman in the team and and a very good athletic outfielder also.
Batting average: 24.92 Strike rate : 81.31
Sikandar Raza
Pakistan born Sikandar Raza is one of brightest young cricketers for Zimbabwe. As an opener he had an impressive start to his career in both Test and ODI format, all eyes will now be on him during the World Cup.
Batting average: 28.90 Strike rate : 73.63
Prediction:
Zimbabwe will not win the tournament but they are a good balanced side which is capable of upsetting any team on any given day. Their recent One day victory against Australia only indicates to you that this team can surprise any opposition who tries to take them lightly.
