I also understand that Ray Price will take over as captain. He does not think that his pot belly will be a problem.

He’s a retired player, not a coach, unless he’s been really busy in that dept in the last year. You need a level 3 certificate, bare minimum, to coach a national side. We had Flower FFS.

Dang it, I actually fell for it when I read it in the morning! But at the same time I was confused 'cause it didn't make sense that the ZC would appoint someone so soon, especially when they did all these sackings just to cut costs.

Looks like the picture is from a poster for a Zim vs SA legends match on the 28th April.

Of course. Got the idea as soon as I saw that image. But BRMT admin's post had beaten me to it so I had to make it more believable :D. Due apologies to auszim

I'm sure quite a few people did. This was as realistic as it could get when BRMT admin made that post, timing with the ZC situation being greatly in favor of this too...
