Except they can't because this is Harare, not Colombo. Plus Herath is light years ahead in terms of quality compared to Utseya & Williams.

At least those extra ten players might get a hot meal for pitching up :cry:

The sooner the money dries up the better. Then the roaches will scurry away and cricket lovers can regain control.

Pretty clear the money won't dry up anytime soon. At any rate, lets see if the current contracts are seen through. If it is, it might lure the likes of Jarvis, C Ervine, and Cremer back.

If soon you mean before next Xmas then you'd be right. :D We'll struggle through until we get the TV rights to SA/Aussie- which will pay for a late starting shortened season. Then Feb world cup money will take us up to next year Xmas.

Groundstaff haven't been paid yet for July- The cricketers are not covered healthwise according to the newspaper report, makes one wonder if ZC has paid up its' Employee Liability Insurance. The Byo court shows NSSA won it's claim against Tuskers/ZC so there goes $100k + court costs. Wonder if they forgot to pay NSSA or that money set aside for a statutory payment was used elsewhere????Say on a car or holiday- wander why no one has been fired for it?

May be a blessing in disguise. It would have been a tough decision between him and Mark or him and Elton. The latter two definitely deserve a bit more than Raza. Mark through performance and Elton through potential at 6. But we definitely need him back for the ODIs
