Ya Glen is there in UK. The best sportswriter this country has ever seen. Oh how I miss going to the back two pages of the Herald and reading one of his fantastic articles.
I dunno about Ireland being a better life, you have to be amphibious. I go to UK regularly and can't wait to wheelspin back to the dirt, corruption and chaos of Zim. Its a nice break though, but your roots are your roots.
There are plenty of people praying ZC suddenly come right, but its like hoping we have free and fair elections
We've spent our lives hoping things improve, it's that frog in the pot scenario, before you know it you're 75 and eating sadza in Borrodaile Trust
Things have improved from where they were at least. Less than perfect though and we know it's only a matter of time until some mega disaster or something I'm just enjoying this current calmness whilst it lasts.
And I'm with you on the UK - it's a shame most people don't seem to agree though!
I’m not sure Ireland is a much more attractive proposition than Zim at the moment. Obviously for quality of life and non-cricketing reasons yeah, it’s way ahead.
But they play even fewer Tests than us and absolutely zero domestic red ball. Their domestic season is (currently) shorter than ours even and their domestic contracts are poorly paid too.
If Dave is still around for the next couple of years and if the board carries on being relatively harmonious and decent then I think we remain a better a cricketing option at least.
Although I think his Dad may be over there now, last I heard?
Anyway it’s good that’s he’s here. I’m sure part of it is wanting to get form/fitness/boost his stats, but there must also be an element of networking and keeping his options open.

The main story in yesterdays Zim Herald was how the country’s aim was to be middle class by 2030. Delusional, ambitious or drunk!?
It's the warm up to elections, Terry. The stuff going on is hectic.
They diverted a paid bus full of poor people thinking they were going to a funeral and to make up numbers to another venue and gave them anti sanctions placards and made them parade.
Our electorate are poor and gullible and have grade 5 incurable Stockholm Syndrome.
Even Grade 5-7 school kids on anti sanctions marches.
When I was grade 5 our class were given British flags and made to line the street to welcome Prince Charles or the Queen so really not much has changed
Guys I was mistaken for Nick Welch as Matt Welch... So what happened to Matt ,the one who was playing last year and played the U19 WC???
He suffered a herniated disc about 8 months ago. I'm sure he will be back. Proper player, hopefully he gets some franchise exposure because he has plenty of ability.
PJ needs to swallow his pride and make things right this side. He is not a long term keeper solution but I think he could have worked on his keeping hard enough to be an option in the T20 team. Madande isn't a big hitter. PJ is also a clean striker of the ball. He is no worse than Burl. He could get into the team just off that.. with Ervine and Williams probably not going to play much longer there is a big opportunity. I don't see him getting regular game time for Ireland. We are his best bet. He is making a big mistake
We need to solve this keeper issue fast. If Regis gets injured we are in serious trouble. 60% of our games from now on will probably T20s we need a keeper who can accumulate runs at a decent rate
