It makes you wonder where we’d be without the $12m a year we get from the ICC. Some of these African associates get less than $100k per year.

If cricket was equitable we’d probably be outside the top 50. Several other current full members probably would be too! :lol:

We literally get 100x more funding than Uganda and yet they beat us. Crazy really

This is the type of disrespect that we should have shown Uganda I have spoken about.
We need to wipe the floor with these countries. When we don’t, we have oopsies like what happened yesterday.

Agree. We really should be top of the associate tree by far with that cash.
Imagine if Raza never came to Zim and one of Williams 7 retirement had stuck.

Massive NRR boost . There is no way Kenya or Uganda are catching that up . We just need Uganda to slip up in one of the games now

Nigeria are a very weak team. Kenya is the only chance and we have to hope Rakep Patel plays. He is their best player and can single handedly win games.

With "only" 2 out of 12 million $, you can pay an average monthly 1.500 $ salary, for 12 months to 100 players.
Out of 100 players, dedicated to cricket the whole year, Zimbabwe can reasonably hope to harvest 10-15 players who would be competitive for international standards.

Indeed the rough math I made gets up to 1.8 million. The remainder 200.000$ can be used for coaches and umpire/scorer allowance.

After this there are still 10 million left to mismanage/waste/deplete....

But at least Zimbabwe would have a bedrock of 100 professional players and a number of coaches, umpires, scorers around them.
