Re: Raza delighted with national team call-up

I'm curious about the whole citizenship thing and his background. How come his family settled here? How long has he been here? Isn't he related to Salman Butt (the promising Pakistani bowler that served a suspension)? I'm sure I saw his younger brother in U16's last year. Good eye, can really smoke ...

Re: Very funny and inspirational young zim boys

At least the gaa de nah has a job. That puts him in the 6% of employed people in Zim. His other option would be to get an administrative job at ZC.

Re: Save cricket in Zimbabwe before it is too late

Perhaps the interest just isn't really there. I'm not talking about a few comments on social media, I mean interest that actualy makes a difference. Paying to watch matches. Companies seeing value in being associated with the sport. Paying for TV subscriptions to watch games. As much as I love cric...

Re: Jason Gillespie On Zimbabwe Shambles

What did Gillespie do to incur the wrath of some? I'm not up to speed on this.

Re: Winter Contracts Saga

Why don't they play one more game and wear black armbands? The death of Zimbabwe Cricket!! No-one is being paid so nothing to lose if they down tools properly and demand a complete makeover. Problem is the players themselves don't know what's required to make it work. First things first- find a guy ...

Re: The harsh reality

Why would anyone give millions to ZC so that Chingoka and AC can line their pockets. Nobody. Zimbabwe cricket is dead and buried. Not one single person with a single jot of credibility left at ZC. That's a bit of an over-statement, there's a couple of guys in the background but they would never be ...

Re: Grant Flower in the mix for Pakistan batting coach

Apparently we don't need a batting coach, especially when we go on tour, just a couple of extra fat cats having a freebie will do the trick. grant spends his days killing his shoulder with the Sidearm (I reckon he must be the world's leading proponent with this amazing bit of kit) and what thanks do...

Because it gets worse every year. If you want I can predict what happens next but it's too depressing.

Re: The harsh reality

Googly, do you think there is anyway to reverse the trend of talented young players heading overseas? You seem to be someone who is on the ground in Zimbabwe so perhaps you can offer more insight than others. The white community in Zimbabwe seems to be living in a departure lounge these days and we...
