I've cried extensively, and yet I can't quit this team.

I always thought it could not get worse than 2004 and the years that followed.

I'll still be here, always. I wish the board showed the same passion.

No offense to anyone not mentioned, but this forum is BRMT admin, sloandog, eugene, foreignfield, jaybro, crimsonavenger, jemisi, and couple others I must be forgetting. Basically anyone with 4000 plus posts. If they left, I'd prolly leave too.

I've been here for 9 years and I don't think I've ever felt as let down. I think it's the fact it was based in England, that we hadn't been there since 2003 and it could have served as a watershed moment for the side. Had we got to England 19', and performed well, sponsorship deals and more game time would have become a very very strong possibility. Additionally, with the new head of state, relationships with the UK could have been sorted by then, and there would be no reason why (if we had performed) we could have had a test match against the English.

Instead, all of that has been reversed and like the Bro said, it hurts to the point of tears being shed.
The fact there is now seriously not stability scares the life out of me.

Yeah it’s a tough life being a Zim supporter I really can’t think of many moments it’s really been worth it apart from the following -

Sri Lanka series win 2017

Pakistan Test win 2013

BT twin centuries against BD 2013

Ervine hundred and run chase v NZ 2015

T20 win over Aus at 2007 WC

ODI win over Aus 2014

After we beat Ireland I sat back and thought wow this has been the best series / tournament ! Something to be proud about something to remember.

Looking back now I just can’t believe what happened, it really is tough to swallow even a week on 😔

We've accounted for everyone on my list, except BRMT admin. Anyone hear from him? I really hope he's just taking a hiatus (as he often does).

maehara keeps a low profile. ZIMDOGGY is a self-appointed admin.
