The Zimbabwe Cricket team have found Ebola in one of their members, but they're not concerned because they have also found Ebatsmen and Efielda!

What do you mean? The Zim dollar hasn't been used in a decade.Andybligzz wrote: ↑Thu Jan 10, 2019 1:21 pmI was looking at this the other day jaybro , crazy isn’t it .
There's an article from last month that says the bond notes fetch about 3.5 to USD1 on the black market.

So if we were to send money to Zimbabwe would the recipient receive it in US Dollars or bond notes ?

I would love to talk to you about your times when you interviewed the players around 2000, for the biographies that appear on cricinfo. Nearly all the young players had one.
Where do you reside now, are you still working for ZC? If you are you must surely be one of the few remaining white officials within the Zimbabwe Cricket structure hey
Re: ZC sues Harare Sports Club
The only country I could move to would be the UK, as I have a British passport and right of residence, but the winters over there are to be dreaded, I am most unlikely to get a job over there, and I have been told I would not get much in the way of benefits as I have not paid their national insurance at all.sloandog wrote: ↑Thu Jan 10, 2019 8:29 amWhat's the alternative?

But Zimbabwe is unliveable John.
The UK winters are harsh but there are opportunities here 10 times over than what there are in the UK

On xe.com and other sites it doesn’t convert it in US dollars and shows the zim currency .brmtaylor.com admin wrote: ↑Thu Jan 10, 2019 2:48 pmWhat do you mean?

Re: ZC sues Harare Sports Club
I presume your last word should be Zimbabwe and not the UK? I was virtually forced to spend 18 months between 2008-2009 in the UK because of the unlivable situation in Zimbabwe then (it's nowhere near as bad as that YET), when I had friends to stay with (not possible any longer) and after much searching for work I could do I found part-time work with Cricket Archive (which also is no longer available) to keep me going financially. Unless there is absolutely no alternative, I would need to find both a suitable place to stay and a suitable way of earning a reasonable income before choosing to live in the UK again. Certainly there are no openings in cricket reporting. I need to look before I leap, and right now there is no landing pad for me in the UK!

Re: ZC sues Harare Sports Club
Wow Zimbabwe must have been terminal in 2008, because from what I've heard from family and friends, the situation right now is as bleak as it has been for a really long time in Zim Sorry to hear about your situation John, i really wish there was something we could dojward wrote: ↑Fri Jan 11, 2019 5:31 pmI presume your last word should be Zimbabwe and not the UK?

Re: ZC sues Harare Sports Club
Thanks, sloandog. Yes, we don't yet have massive inflation totally destroying our life savings and pensions, prices doubling every day, worthless banknotes with face values of trillions of dollars, supermarkets with shelves almost completely empty, massive power cuts virtually every day - just a few of my greatest memories of 2007 and 2008! Just praying it never gets that bad again.sloandog wrote: ↑Fri Jan 11, 2019 9:02 pmWow Zimbabwe must have been terminal in 2008, because from what I've heard from family and friends, the situation right now is as bleak as it has been for a really long time in Zim Sorry to hear about your situation John, i really wish there was something we could dojward wrote: ↑Fri Jan 11, 2019 5:31 pmI presume your last word should be Zimbabwe and not the UK?
