Bear in mind he was passed up by ZC for U19 in favour of a South African body building midget :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
They let the next Andy Flower slip through their fingers :lol:
It’s hard to describe the sheer uselessness within their ranks. It’s a great word. Completely without use :lol:
I need my meds.
Was that Dylan Nel?

I was trying to think of his name. Correct. He was actually not a bad player, bowled decent leggies as well. I’m being harsh. Nice guy as well. He left Zim when he was a kid and had never been back. I have no idea where they found him.
ZC f^*% up big time.
I see Sean Bell is stirring the pot on Twitter- wondering whether HSC will shut the gates preventing tomorrow’s game until their rental arrears is settled. ZC are supposed to pay about $4-$5k a month if I recall and they owe about $180k!!
They just don’t bother paying anybody ever. They’ve lived for free on one of the nicest grounds in the planet. Shameless muppets.

That jogged my memory. If I recall the Nel’s knew Grant Flower and that’s how he got a look in.

I just looked on his FB page. He’s some kind of vegan body building yoga meister in touch with the universe.
I envy him, supporting Zim cricket guarantees you stress related illnesses and an early grave.

Interestingly Ed Byrom is also a vegan, and also in touch with the Universe. :lol:
He couldn’t live here anyway coz he’d die of starvation. Mind you ED has told us to all eat vegetables whilst ZANU and ZC eat cake so maybe he’d manage to forage for something.

Just had a listen to Sean Williams at the press conference. He speaks well, I didn’t expect that, dunno why.
He has obviously had captaincy aspirations for a while.
I don’t like the fact that he mentioned he, Ervine and Jarvis were working with some of the new guys, you shouldn’t have to be doing that at international level.
You sell a little piece of your soul to the devil when you take on this job, it may be the toughest gig on the planet.
Let’s see if he’s tough enough to butt heads with the muppets when they interfere, which is inevitable. It’s about absolute control and they can’t run a tuck shop.

Let me rephrase that, you have to be a yes man or you’re going to last about a month. You may get an extension to your opinions if the team wins.
I just don’t see us getting much cricket in. Every weather app is predicting rain, and not afternoon showers, but overcast rain all day tomorrow.
I’m looking forward to this, good to see a couple of new faces for a change, but I’m not holding my breath.

I would love to see Ed Byrom in the Sydney Grade comp.

WA is no mug competition, but Sydney grade is next level. Top teams would easily be as good as the mid level county sides.

Actually I wonder if that’s still true, as the Big Bash may be sucking a lot of talent as 20+ guys (not just Sydney based BBL teams) are being drawn up to the competition.

It’ll still be much higher than WA though.
