Re: South africa Tour of Zimbabwe | Test Series | 28 June - 10 July 2025

Bennett Welch (last chance) Myers Williams Ervine Madande Tsiga Matigimu Masakadza Muzarabani Chivanga Madhevere Why is it Welch's last chance but Madhevere? Wes's stats in Tests are bad. Welch has had 4 tests only, so why is he being thrown to the wolves. He also did not play against England, so i...

Re: South africa Tour of Zimbabwe | Test Series | 28 June - 10 July 2025

This is what happens when you go out with a negative mentality. We lost this game on day 1. It doesn't matter how many games we have this year, no one will really care about us if we keep producing this absolute shit house. Selectors need to be fired and we need a massive shift in mentality within t...

Re: South africa Tour of Zimbabwe | Test Series | 28 June - 10 July 2025

I know the target is unreachable, but I still would like to see us play a little proactively. Going out there to block for 2 days is not the way to do it. It's so obvious our mentally weak we are as a team. We always go out there thinking, "just don't lose" as opposed to, "we can win this" or "just ...

Re: South africa Tour of Zimbabwe | Test Series | 28 June - 10 July 2025

The more we play test cricket the more people will realize that we need a big squad of guys capable of stepping up at any moment in this format. You will get your opportunity. It's now up to you to take it. You will also get more than one chance. Chivanga wasn't on the plane to England but here he ...

Re: South africa Tour of Zimbabwe | Test Series | 28 June - 10 July 2025

Not picking a third seamer is criminal. Not to mention opening with the spinner, and seeing that he was doing absolutely nothing, then sticking with him. When you have batters who can do that job, you need another option with seam, especially if you are not picking Evans. The Pretorius decisions wer...

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 ...
