Just listened to Dave Houghton on Dean's podcast. Well worth a listen, especially if you want to burst into tears at how low we have sunk. Times have changed as well. Touring sides used to love coming here and we had earned some respect as opposition and definitely as hosts. Now we are treated with ...

We need to arrange a ZCF Convention in Zimbabwe during the ODI CWC. Invite Frank Mawoza to be the guest speaker. I assume his topic would be mental gymnastics. Twitter the last few days has, very much been grab your popcorn. Ya there's a lot going on there on twitter. Its extremely nasty. The preoc...

Ok so what of this Nipah Virus that keeps popping up on my newsfeed? Is it serious? Its hard to believe any news from any source these days. There's one guy who keeps posting on cricket discussions, but he's so repetitive its clear he's anti India.

Ya Andy Flower was impressed with Madhidhi. Commented on his action. He's not slow either. Lets just hope he's got some tall genes.

Its just weird. U look at our u19 boys, particularly the white lads and they develop late. The South Africans are huge in comparison. Ya I'd think the old man at the same age was a bull. He's a big powerful man. The English boys generally look quite similar to the white Zim kids as I guess we share ...

If you look at Kian Blignaut he's a very late developer. Looks about 15 (no disrespect), when he matures I think he could be pretty useful. Mahdidhi has a beautiful action and only 15!! Thats incredible for that age.
Theyre my picks. A couple of others just below.

Those are the main men. They will play until they get another job within ZC. Maybe player/coach for a while, or manager or coach. There's a queue for jobs for guys reaching retirement age. Why would you even want to play franchise for mere peanuts?

If we dont beat 9 billion Bangladeshis next game I think we have to play qualification games. But if one guy gets a 3fer, or a 50 or hits a huge 6 "the future is bright."but it has to be a huuuge 6.

Ive been going thru some of the school scorecards. 100 is a huge total now.....for an entire team. 50-70 seems to be the norm. If 200 schools average 50, is it better than 6 schools averaging 200? Where are the better players coming from?

Lets hope the private schools are still offering cricket as a sport by then. Maybe they'll downgrade it to a hobby. You have to choose a sport, a hobby and a club. Maybe mini-cricket or french cricket so they can put in some pickle ball and paddle ball nets.
