Re: Drugs bans

Taylor playing the ongoing Legends league cricket, how is it possible when the ban is not lifted? I'm still hoping he would come back to competitive cricket. In few moths the ban should be over. If he managed to keep himself fit, he could still be helpful for at least a couple of years. If fit, a c...

Re: Hamilton Masakadza steps down

They’d win that Italian poster’s competition easy then :lol: I'm confident that Muzarabani is only an apparent exception. The rule seems a system unable to tap junior promising resouces and keeps wondering how bleak is a future when top national players (all over 35) would retire. Give a spectrum o...

Re: Hamilton Masakadza steps down

Tape all sounds so crude. Why wouldn’t you just buy kanga cricket sets if you’re looking for cheap equipment to stir participation excitement. Yes: tapeball, kanga, whatever may attract a pool of newbies. First aim should be to be in condition to pick a few natural talented fast bowlers from many c...

Re: Durham tour and positives from a zimbabwe perspective

True though. It’s Durham who’ve been in division two the last 50 years. If they were that awesome they’d have been bossing everything in England forever. Haven’t even got their own hundred team ffs :lol: Maybe you mean another County. Durham has been quite successful: they won three times County Ch...

Re: Hamilton Masakadza steps down

I believe a couple of those guys can bowl 150 with a tape ball. That would be fun to watch.

Re: New T20 Franchise tournament

Could hold competitions see how fast members of the crowd can bowl a tapeball. Winner gets a free beer. Yes, that is an example. Better if the contest is for children and the fastests get access to an academy or simply an afternoon with a qualified coach. Kids would flock and ZC may find new talent...

Re: New T20 Franchise tournament

I witnessed in several other sports: soccer aside it's an almost impossible mission to woo crowds in minor domestic leagues. It seems a pardox but it's only marketing wisdom: if you want to draw crowd do not think to the match, rather concentrate in all surrounding amenities. People should go to the...
