Academy - Whats up?

Post by Kopje »

I quoted this from a Cricinfo article.

http://content-www.cricinfo.com/zimbabw ... 40069.html

"The claim regarding the state of the academy was disputed by several former players and administrators who all maintained there has been no intake for at least two years. "Where is the evidence of anyone being nurtured as Chingoka tells the outside world," a former international told Cricinfo. "Is there a list of people available? If they are in the academy, then it must be taking place in private."


To those based in Zim, has there been anything done to use the academy? Any work at the site after it got burnt?

The academy is an interesting topic, I haven't heard any information about it for quite a while. I believe there are 10 people currently at the academy, and something's telling me (whether I read it somewhere, heard it, saw it in a dream, I can't remember :lol:) that they are all fast bowlers because Zimbabwe are desperately looking for that strike bowler.

Incidentally, it appears CFX (a foreign exchange company I believe) still sponsors it, after all these years.
