Re: 2004 Team v 2024 Team

if we are talking ODI cricket, which I assume we are as we have only played like 2 Tests in the past 3 years and T20I didn't exist in 2004, - then there is absolutely no competition and the current 2024 side shits all over the 2004 one. Sorry, but they probably beat the 90's one as well. Cricket is...

Re: 2004 Team v 2024 Team

That 2004 team had talent and was being nurtured properly. It was just Bvute and co who insisted on transformation so they were forced to play international cricket earlier than they should have. They then didn't get proper training, development, the funds were squandered etc etc. We had a proper li...

I hate you.

I read the headline and I nearly flipped the laptop.

Re: Durham tour and positives from a zimbabwe perspective

We talk about Durham like its high class opposition, but it is no better than any associate international side. If that's the case, says a lot about how poor our standard is. They strolled to victory in every game they played in. The final of the T20 was a shambles. Eagles got bowled for 16 and it ...

Re: Zimbabwe Domestic T20 3rd - 9th of March

Durham cantered to victory in every single one of their games. They just proved how low the quality of our domestic cricket is. This makes it even sillier that we force Internationals to give up their overseas contracts if they want to play for Zim.

That final is just absolutely abysmal.

Re: New T20 Franchise tournament

So Hammy hasn't been fired? So much for shaking things up. The interview was quite poor from him. It doesn't really fill us with much hope for ZC with him in charge. Definitely prefer T20 over T10 though so hopefully this will be much better. Think we still need our lights fixed a bit for the outfie...

Re: ZC announce major restructure: Mhishi Committee

All of these recommendations are the bare minimum and do not really change anything because the people in charge of enacting these changes are the same ones who have been screwing up everything.

Re: Where is Zimbabwe's Shamar Joseph?

They are there, in Zim, we just have a board that only gives jobs to "the boys" so none of these talents actually develop as they should. The players then get complacent as they know they will always get selected and get to travel the world every once in a while, and win the odd game which everyone ...

Re: U19 World Cup | South Africa | Jan-Feb 2024

There is clearly an issue in the coaching system. Both economical bowlers don't bowl out their full 10 today, and this problem also seems to stem to our national team. Too many issues in our coaching department to let these idiots continue to run the system. Mukhulani needs to really go. He is a can...
