Re: ESPNCRICINFO reports that Gary Ballance has retired from all cricket - does anybody know details, what happened ?
The England and Wales Cricket Board has recommended 'racist' Gary Ballance be fined £8,000 and suspended for eight weeks in the wake of the Yorkshire racism scandal. And if I was Ballance I'd tell the ECB to go fuck themselves, they're nothing but a puffed up bunch of idiots, I'd also be asking the...

Re: Diaspora recruitment or indigenisation?
What does indigenisation even mean? In the context of this question I mean a similar situation as existed in New Zealand rugby. Development must be local and players must play locally. If you leave - you're gone for good. I'd also think a financial safety net needs to exist. If ZC spends $200k deve...

Re: Diaspora recruitment or indigenisation?
Resources will always be limited or stolen in Zim. Perhaps the lion's share of the wealth should be going to government JUNIOR school cricket and only in the cities, for the next few years? Make sure all junior schools have at least: Access to a junior coach (be it in house teacher trained up, or a ...

Diaspora recruitment or indigenisation?
Given the poor results recently when recruiting from diaspora versus 100% local, should ZC not be focusing more heavily on facilities and infrastructure development, coaching and training , and local cricketer development, rather than trying to coax back Zimbos abroad? Is what they are doing too sho...

Re: Andy Flower’s peak as a wicketkeeper-batter may never be matched in cricket history
Great article. Andy was, and is, a consummate professional. Brutal how he trained himself. An absolute hard nut 'paratrooper' of note. Great man, imho our best ever. Here's wishing him home as manager / coach to kick the skates we currently have into shape.

Re: ESPNCRICINFO reports that Gary Ballance has retired from all cricket - does anybody know details, what happened ?
A very involved thread. Frankly, it's a disaster to lose Ballance. We all know that. He looked good really recently too, and has truckloads of experience. Anyway he's totally finished for us, either due to drugs or being pussy whipped, so fuck him. He's dropped us in the shit. Bring back Regis I say...

Re: Taylor Retirement Story
Ah Christ. It seems an absolute shambles. What a pity.

Re: The many silences of Heath Streak
I don't really expect anything else from ZC. They are always content on creating an issue, particularly a racial one. No other board would ever act in this way. One can understand why white players want nothing to do with ZC. They are basically being watched so intently to and the moment they slip ...

Re: Taylor Retirement Story
Who's the other cokehead? Is it Williams? It seems bizarre to me that it hasn't been clamped down upon. How do you compete internationally on drugs? No I don’t think I’ve heard anything like that about Williams. He’s mad enough without mind-altering substances! The dozen or so national team contrac...
