Re: ZC to build new cricket stadium in Gweru

I saw someone on social media justifying this (and the wider surrounding development) as ‘look at Dubai in the 90’s….it was nothing’.

As if Vic Falls is the next fucking Dubai :lol:

Re: ZC to build new cricket stadium in Gweru

The argument for not playing first class matches outside of Harare is that ZC can’t justify the cost to bus players to e.g. Kwekwe. So are they really going to fly players down to Vic falls?!? This will be the biggest white elephant in the country. It will get used for the 2027 WC (I hope there are ...

Re: ZC to build new cricket stadium in Gweru

Vic Falls is going ahead and they’ve got Mnangagwa doing a ground breaking ceremony for it next week. Lord help us.


I think the only people who think it is a good idea are either; a) personally benefitting from it or b) have never been to Vic Falls.

Re: ZC to build new cricket stadium in Gweru

I’m not sure where this land is exactly. The city council have been trying for many years to evict Gweru Sports Club from their current historic ground in a prime location in order to build residential or commercial lots. It’s one of the few sports clubs out in the provinces that has held out in the...

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

I’m with Googly 100% on Marumani. He’s very talented. People on here and on social media who don’t watch our domestic cricket won’t believe me. But I’ve seen a lot of him ever since he was about 15 and he’s got something. I think almost every single person in the setup genuinely believes so too. Yes...

Re: Sean Williams retiring from T20i
