Re: State of SA

Quotas have really destroyed South African sport, so much to the extent that they are now World Champions in both Rugby and Cricket. Can't tell if this sarcasm, but it is not remotely the same thing. Zim force quotas regardless of talent. The players getting picked for SA are generally worthy of th...

Re: Zimbabwe vs England | Only Test | 22 - 25th May 2025

I dont think its so much his mrntality, its just him. He is fairly limited. It's not just Ben though. We see it with a lot of our players. Playing within themselves. Take Wes for example. So much talent and hype, then he was thrown into the deep end. Had a rough start, and never recovered. We often...

Re: Ryan Higgins Turned Down Zimbabwe Approach

Why do they need him to move to Zimbabwe? Just have him play for Zimbabwe and spend rest of his year in England. He’s good enough for that ZC live on power trips. By allowing this to happen, they are saying that Zim Domestic cricket is shit, which they can't do. I've been saying for years that our ...

Re: Zimbabwe vs England | Only Test | 22 - 25th May 2025

Can't say I'm surprised by the result. For some time now, we've been a team of individuals. No team effort. It's always 1 or 2 who perform. Bit bemused by Currans tactics in the second half. He was moving too slowly. It's clear we went back in that 2nd innings thinking we just need to try for a draw...

Well, that day 1 was about how I expected things to go. We got completely demolished. Our mental fortitude is way too weak.

Re: Zim vs Eng 2003 vs 2025

9 year gap aside, Williams and Ervine are our stars. Players like Carlisle were just making the team. See the difference? Who was a better player Carlsle vs Craig Wishart Also who was a better player Nkala or DT Hondo.. I see your point, however, I would much rather Carlisle than most of the guys t...

Re: Zim vs Eng 2003 vs 2025

Whilst the 2025 have better stats, they never really had to play the big boys that often.

I'd be putting my money on the 2003 team. They were better technical players, and had more of a cricket brain. Not to mention that they were workers. They made an effort to learn and apply themselves.

Re: Match Thread: Zimbabwe vs Bangladesh 1st Test (20th-24th April 2025)

Nice to see us hold our nerve and get the win. We have not done that in a long time. One thing that still remains a problem is our players playing within themselves. They get into this defensive mindset and invite the pressure. We did it in the first innings. All those who failed had low SR's. We de...
