    Perverse Delight thread

    Mayank Agarwal vs. Adam Voges

    The Official Hamilton Masakadza Tributes thread

    Joe Burns vs. Rory Burns

    Because why the hell not? Even if one hasn't been selected and the other isn't exactly lighting the world on fire, no subbie is complete without a poll

    *Official* Zimbabwe Tour to the Netherlands

    Who the hell schedules an ODI tour at the same time as the cricket World Cup? Who? Why Zimbabwe off course. Three ODIs and Three t20s to sneak in while no one is looking
