South Africa, WHY?
Why is it that everytime Zim is playing in SA we never play at the Wanderers, Centurion or Kingsmead? What are they trying to say?

An attendance of 10 people looks less embarrasing in smaller venues.

Pretty much. Zimbabwe are far from being a big draw, Cricket South Africa has to pay for the use of the stadia, so they'll go with the cheaper (and smaller) options for what are undoubtedly loss-making fixtures anyway. Nothing sinister in that.

I will ignore the political connatations and settle for what you guys have said, which I do agree with in their own respect

Let's hope the Zimbabwean crowd can fill up the grounds and make them home matches.

Re: South Africa, WHY?
very unlikely dude, the Zimbaz are busy at work its different from Zimbabwe where we could take a day off and go watch the cricket. Besides most are concentrated in joburg(Wanderers) and Cape Town (Centurion)Boundary wrote:Let's hope the Zimbabwean crowd can fill up the grounds and make them home matches.
