Twitter: zimcricket: @rickeyre Zim U19 coach (Kevin Curran) is the kiss of death to any team he coaches. Has no interest in winning matches, just 'competing'.
I think you maybe of hit of the problem, but being an eternal optimsist ill back these guys to come good eventually.

And Sloandog dont count your chickens yet but i think i have found a site which shows a 5/6 min highlights package of the game, but i wont give you the link till the game is up there as dont want to get our hopes up ;)

I found a stream for the India Afghanistan game last night, but couldn't find one for the England Hong Kong yesterday. Hopefully some site will have tonight's game, as it is definitely going to be covered.

Perhaps i'm being a little harsh on Kevin Curran, i'll certainly never agree with his approach to the game, but the more i hear it from you guys the more it makes sence that he may be more than capable of helping these youngsters progress.

I think the reality is that this team just isn't very good and is one of the weakest sides in the tournament. Even though I am not a fan of Kevin Curran and I don't think there is much anyone can do with this side.
Neil Johnson, Alistair Campbell, Murray Goodwin, Andy Flower (w), Grant Flower, Dave Houghton, Guy Whittall, Heath Streak (c), Andy Blignaut, Ray Price, Eddo Brandes

Yeah i agree 100% with you. If anybody can change this side it's the players. They need to get their heads down now and work towards a victory against New Zealand and prove to us that they aren't just a weak link in this tournament (even though they obviously are :P )

Why is Mushangwe not playing and Mutumbodzi not bowling?

These are the 2 players who had playing senior cricket (with success) prior to the tournament and expected to play a major role.

Are they injured?

How the hell did Zimbabwe lose to Canada? That just shouldn't happen - Zimbabwe are a full member, whereas Canada are mere associates.

I agree that Kevin Curran's a dire coach? :p

Kurran just doesn't do it for me, but liek Zimfan1 told me the other night, Zimbabwe are lucky to have a man of his experience with our youngsters.
