Re: Regional Trials

And what's your take if one or neither are even in these games? And what's your opinion of there being no T20 trials when we're playing T20 in Sri Lanka? Trials for one format and not the other? If neither play then it's a big disappointment. A lot of other guys like Musakanda will also I did ok in...

Re: Mangongo return

You are right about hindsight. I think the mistake came in Namibia because K-long was number 3 on the run charts for us after Raza and Ervine. He only played 2 games. Burl had the same number runs after 5 games. Wes, Welch and Kaia were all behind him. Namibia had the best attack we were going to fa...

Re: Regional Trials

To me this tour is just as important as the u19 world cup. Why? If we get hammered there when will we ever get another tour which isn't Ireland, Bangladesh or the UAE trip to Afghanistan? Afghanistan has already lost interest. A good performance is vital for our future hopes. A lot is on the line he...

Re: Regional Trials

It all depends on the selection. If both Welch's and Bennet are given a chance then I doubt many people will complain here. 800km would be bad if they are driving but I would be surprised if that was case. Otherwise its a total of 3 hours by plane. The problem is we sit here and judge the selections...

Re: Mangongo return

DH losing the dressing room is an interesting one. I wonder what happened. I suspect that Wellington at 6 might be one of the issues. Who made that decision? If it wasn't DH did he object? Surely that would have pissed off the big 3 and the young guns. He wasted 2 overs in a crunch game. Did he also...

Re: Mangongo return

There is also another article I saw but I can't find now where he was complaining about an u19 kid who pulled of the Zim squad last year because he had been promised a career by the South Africans. I wonder who that was. Interesting.

Re: Mangongo return

The reason why Andy Flower can get away with being authoritarian is that nobody can say he doesn't know what he is doing because of his record as a player. I would suggest they look for a coach who runs a tight ship and has the pedigree of an Andy Flower. Steve unfortunately doesn't have that pedigr...

Re: Houghton Resigns (Confirmed by ZC)

If they really love this game and Zimbabwe cricket then this shouldn't be a happy Christmas anyway. This is a bit ridiculous. There’s more to life If your business or place of employment was struggling the way they are struggling you wouldn't have a happy Christmas. Sometimes I wish the ICC allocat...

Re: Houghton Resigns (Confirmed by ZC)

I think our biggest issues is the bowlers. If Blessing and Ngarava get injured we are toast. Completely done.

Re: Houghton Resigns (Confirmed by ZC)

If the squads are picked properly it gives somebody like Nick Welch a chance to book a ticket. Maybe even his brother at this rate :lol: I'm not against these games at all
