ZCF Facebook group?

Post by eugene »

Does zimcricketforums.com or zimcricketnews.com have a presence on facebook? I was wondering if the administrators/users of ZCF would be interested in starting a facebook group. I have noticed there are many current/former Zimbabwean cricketers on facebook. Perhaps through facebook we could link up with more Zimbabwean fans/players and encourage them to participate in this forum if they are at all interested.

Any thoughts on this idea? I would be happy to help in any facebook project.

I've got lots of zimbabwe players on my facebook. But the strange thing is that they added me :?
Hear they are :
Piet rinke
Keegan Meth
Sean Williams
Gregory strydom
Barney Rogers ( I've had some very interesting conversations with him )
Campbell Macmillan
Dougie Hondo
Ryan Higgins
Gary Brent

Gregory strydoma dn piet rinke spoke 2 me a while ago saying that they wish 2 return to zim cricket but their fittness is letting them down. :x

Yeah i sure hope so :)

I remember piet rinke mashing the Kenyon attack everywhere on one occasion.
Gregory strydom i've never actually seen play, but according to his cricinfo profile, could be handy in the middle 2 latter parts of the innings along side chicumbura :D

I sure hope atleast one of the two are planning on signing with a franchise

Piet versus Associate sides was usually awesome to watch. Piet versus stronger sides usually didn't last very long - the urge to slog was just too much for him. He'd be handy in T20, though...

Anyway. Facebook group: for the record, we're looking into this - with the number of Zim players, past and present, who seem to be on there, we probably shouldn't miss the opportunity to connect with them. Further announcements when we have 'em.

I will be creating the Facebook group in the next day or so. I will let y'all know when it is up and running. Just note that the purpose of the group will be to advertise this forum and zimcricketnews.com, bring new members to the forum, and hopefully connect with current and former players. It is not the intention to take discussions away from this forum.
