Practical ideas on breeding fast bowlers in Zim

[jamthala]

i afraid man,aus is not friend country,india have MRF pace academy where zim can send there pace bowler

At least 5 Zim players have spent time at the Cricket Australia academy in the past few years. Their Academy side toured Zimbabwe when no-one else would. Walter Chawaguta spent time with them, shadowing their national coach, just after he took over as Zim coach. In terms of helping Zimbabwe develop, Cricket Australia are perfectly friendly, even if the Australian government may not be.

you forget friend,few year back australia and friend countries want zim out of icc full member status,that time india help.did you know.

That particular sword cuts both ways. India have also been very good at dodging their Future Tours Programme commitment with ZC, as evidenced by last year's aborted Tri-Series. Seems very much like a case of "You can stay a Full Member 'coz we want your vote, but we don't really want to play you..."

But the question which needs to be asked is now the the BCCI have cricket South Africa and Cricket Australia in there back pocket due to the fact they have a share in the T20 Champions League, do India really needs Zimbabwe's vote??

Agree india delay zim tour due to commercial profit.but bcci have not decided about MAY tour of zim.

Back to the original question - you mentioned that you're in Manicaland. The most obvious thing is to arrange a provincial schools tournament, say 1st term next year. From that you'll identify the most talented kids, the ones that will get special coaching. From here I think you've got 2 options: 1) Pull the talented ones from their schools into a Mountaineers Academy that ideally plays other franchise academies or 2) Retain a competitive schools league whereby specialist coaches rove around the schools helping a batch of school-based teachers/coaches.

I'm still trying to figure out the rest in my head ...

And thas why India have got away with bullying other members for the last ten years.

I was just browsing and discovred that Australia has Academies for Fast Bowling , why dont we send our identified talent there so that it can be fully baked . Then also try to establish our own fast bowling academy .

i afraid man,aus is not friend country,india have MRF pace academy where zim can send there pace bowler

why on earth would zimbabwe send players to learn the art of faster bowling over in india when india struggle to produce them themselves.... the best thing the MRF pace academy had going for it was dennis lilee who was instrumental in henry olonga being a success

as far as australia not being a friend of zimbabwe cricket u need to do research and just look up how many players administrators and coaches have been up to australia over the past two years to further there games

Remember Australia are the best country at Cricket.
You might argue that India might be number 1 at the moment, its a valid argument, but they have 1 billion,Aus have 20 million, with around 4 million of those chinese people with no interest in cricket.

They have the best infrastructure and generally do things right when it comes to this game of ours. Rarely does Australia make a bad tactical decision, rarely are the coaches flawed.

They are a well oiled machine.

Travis Friend is in Aus playing 1st class (contrary to what ive read here) Sibanda got better when he came to Aus....who knows who else.
