Is that a new logo for the Mountaineers?

No t20 domestic competition ????

Would have made more sense to play t20 than 50 over cricket since we have the tri series coming up and also the t20 WC

The board have no clue at all

There’s an Instagram pic on PPC Zimbabwe of what looks like the Board members opening the first of 60 concrete nets at Colleen Bawn High School which is in Matabeleland South. Was this a completely free community service by PPC? :lol:
There is no cricket facility on this planet or any adjacent ones that boasts 60 concrete nets. ZC are planning on making Colleen Bawn the centre of the known cricketing universe. We now just have to supply those nets with 60 cricket bats, 60 balls, 60 batters and 60 bowlers so they can be filled simultaneously and that’s the grass roots box firmly ticked.
The sheer incompetence, ignorance and brazenness of these c*^ts continues to give me a facial tic.

Not sure what that plant is, but it almost looks like an appropriate logo for the Manicaland Potheads :lol:

I'm sure it's just bad wording. Colleen Bawn is the first, of 60, they hope to open in rural areas.

Sure, but do they just play net cricket? What about grounds, equipment and coaching? I cannot get the agenda of doing this when there are endless government school structures that are abandoned and buggered. Actual schools with 1000 plus kids in them and playing fields etc. Revive those first. Their first dollar should be spent at Churchill. Get those big government schools playing proper cricket again. They need more than nets, they need grounds and pitches, they need the school body maintaining them through fees and a vaguely interested parent body. Churchill is the acid test- if they cannot revive their facilities and get some quality kids coming out of there then believe me Muzarabani and Colleen Bawn is a total complete and utter waste of time.
Cricket pitches need a water source and knowledgeable groundsmen and equipment.
If one Zim cricketer comes out of Colleen Bawn or Muzarabani in the next ten years it’s still a moneumental waste of time and money. In that time you’d get 10 coming out of Peter House, St Johns and St George’s, but they prejudice these schools and there’s a quota of 5 or 6 age group players picked them they scrounge around for the remaining players from development teams and only occasionally pick a good kid, but invariably they make the team uncompetitive.

Why do Southern Rocks re-form to make a single appearance on 21st May and then appear to disband once again?
