Not sure Bliggie is a foregone conclusion though. He's been coaching the Falcon College isn't he? Sources close to ZC (read lobbying journos) have revealed the following 4 candidates as being front-runners according to rumors

I sure hope we don't go back to Ntini though.

Brent is the obvious fan favorite, given his Mountaineers stint, and Matsi has become the dark horse due to the success of ZRS in the first season.

Who's your money on?

May be Brent as head coach with Bliggie as bowling coach and Matsi as batting and fielding coach won't be too bad... Don't want Ntini anywhere near the setup though...

Please not Ntini. The man is a legend, but he does not have the qualifications nor the pedigree. There is a reason we got rid of him in the first place.

On reflection, our fielding has not been great, so happy for that to be replaced.

Happy with the other three as part of a unit. Do we really have much of a choice though?

Makes sense, this is why it was announced he will be playing a few games for the Tuskers later this year. Get to know the players and culture etc

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