Re: ZC to build new cricket stadium in Gweru

It seems that this promise of a pot of gold by ZC and the council will ultimately finally force Gweru SC out and for it to be bulldozed.
Without knowing a thing about this deal, there's your answer.
It's a theft. Bear in mind they've attempted to steal HSC quite a few times.

Re: 5th T20I | Zimbabwe vs Bangladesh | May 12, 2024

The once a year A games are just as much pressure :lol: For me the answer is in getting a sharp coach to work with the talented guys. Real hands on stuff, repetition etc, and daily. Twice a week you're going backwards. Three times a week is maintenance, more than 3 and you're making progress if you'...

Re: 5th T20I | Zimbabwe vs Bangladesh | May 12, 2024

Ya I agree. I've been watching Shakib on YouTube. A huge percentage of his wickets are his offie (supposedly turning away from the right hander) actually going slightly the other way. Fuck knows how that happens so regularly for him. You can see it out of his hand, you can see its got revs and likel...

Re: Sean Williams retiring from T20i

Ok. If they're hanging on for a WC in the same way they've been going, which is basically not getting too involved in domestic cricket it will not be correct. I know they have to manage injuries and slightly older bodies and all, but for our development we can't afford them to do that. Hopefully a c...

Re: Sean Williams retiring from T20i

I would think Ervine and Williams would like to hang on for the Lord's Test. That's a good way to sign off your career on. I have mixed feelings on that one though. On the one hand they've earned it, on the other we play so few high profile games that if we've got another couple of players doing rea...

Just saw a post that made me laugh.
Campbell and Bennett families are both blueberry farmers.
Something in the blueberries.
Maybe blueberry smoothies for pre-game sustenance?

Re: 5th T20I | Zimbabwe vs Bangladesh | May 12, 2024

It's the same problem all our batters have. In domestic cricket here they get loose deliveries. You can look really good because boundary balls are on offer. In internationals you don't get many shit balls, you have to be able to score off good deliveries. It's not easy. Plus you have to assess cond...

Re: Sean Williams retiring from T20i

I don't even know why ZC make a schedule of upcoming games. Probably less than half actually happen.

Re: 5th T20I | Zimbabwe vs Bangladesh | May 12, 2024

In fairness he had some luck go his way, and in cricket you'll take a lucky player all day. In the first 2 overs he cut one to point that fell just short, he edged a late cut to slip, but it was a half chance at best, he edged one over the keeper's head and he got dropped at square leg. The only rea...

Re: Sean Williams retiring from T20i

It's T20 I think. They won't send their main team that's for sure. We'll be under the pump from their Z team.
