I dont even want to be petty and compare them but Mangongo lost to the 2 finalists of the u19 world cup at the actual world cup and Streak lost to the UAE (their first win against a full member) drew against Scotland (Scotland beat a full member for the first time under Streaks watch last year) and scraped past Afghanistan(who almost whitewashed us a few months before) in the qualifiers. The previous u19 World Cup Mangongo was knocked out controversially by the winners of the tournament after the controversial mankad incident. And they even went on to beat the SA u19s. There are no double standards there if you actually look at both scenarios fairly.jaybro wrote: ↑Tue May 22, 2018 10:24 amUmmm I’m pretty sure Streak has given more than “ 2 years” to Zimbabwe Cricket buddy, he’s been serving the game longer than you’ve been alive I dare say.TapsC wrote: ↑Tue May 22, 2018 8:23 amYou cant compare 30 years to 2. I never even wanted Streak and Taibu to be gone forever anyway. I mentioned that I felt that we needed a bigger selection panel and also a new head coach but Streak to be the bowling coach.
The truth is Streak and Taibu are so loved here that people think they did absolutely no wrong. Thats what I disagree with. Everybody else can be criticized besides them.
The Mangongo sacking rumours surfaced before the qualifiers and nobody cared. Makhaya was sacked and nobody wanted to hear his side of the story. Streak even commented after the whole qualifiers mess that he felt that Makhaya " was not able to do the job as needed" and thats why he was let go. Whatmore was fired in a similar fashion and nobody cared.
These guys will continue burning people. We must keep the same energy for all situations and not just defend when its national heroes.
Even when it comes down to these salaries, national players must also have everybody else's back. If people always fight for themselves only , they will never beat these guys.
Remember when the domestic players led a strike and declared early in a game after the national players had been paid and they were only given half of what they had been promised? Sean Williams even opened in one of the innings. This was 18 months ago

This is why you probably find these guys are playing on despite what's going on with the national team players.
Mongongo has been coach of the 19’s for a while mate two world cups and the side hasn’t done anything really so to say he didn’t deserve to get sacked but Streak did is double standards
You’ve played your cards young fella easy to see where you sit
And remember how you said you shouldnt fire unless there is alternative solution ? You said no way ZC could replace Streak with a better coach? Well they actually did in the interim. Who knows youth cricket better than Mangongo? He has anger issues but nobody is perfect and I know that.
Im not going to suggest he did a perfect job like you seem to think of Streak and Taibu yet we were losing to Afghanistan Scotland the UAE and the Netherlands. All of this is forgotten because they beat Sri Lanka. Dont forget in 2014 Mangongo beat Australia for the first time in 30 years and still got sacked.
