Re: 2023 ODI World Cup Discussion
At the end of the day, Umpires have to uphold the rule, especially if the captain appeals. Spirit of the game will always be brought up, and it's not something that will go away. It's because of those years of tough sledging that it has become more of a thing. Some of the games I umpire in grade cri...

Re: 2023 ODI World Cup Discussion
The umpires have no choice in this situation. If Shakib insists on upholding his appeal, then they have to review the appeal based on the rule, not the fact that the strap broke. I have not reviewed the whole footage, but from what I read, it took him longer than 2 minutes to reach the crease. When ...

Re: Zimbabwe vs Namibia | 5th T20I
Zimbo I'm not sure why you're mentioning Flower? The top shelf here is full. Only a premature demise will free up a spot :lol: It's dead man's shoes. Our players lack discipline in both batting and bowling. I think that much is clear. We also have a team full of players that on the international st...

Re: Zimbabwe vs Namibia | 5th T20I
Andy would work as the director of cricket. The person who oversees the whole structure and development of the game in our country. Take Hammy out of the role and give it to Andy. Let him work with Dave as the team coach. Bring in a new batting coach. A sports psychologist. Until we get proper chang...

Re: Zimbabwe vs Namibia | 5th T20I
Holy shit. We were chasing 101 and we lost. That's inexcusable for me. Dave needs to make some serious changes to the batting department. Matsi needs to go. He needs to bring in a proper batting coach. Next thing he needs to do is start cutting some of the dead weight. Implement a proper development...

Re: Zimbabwe vs Namibia | 4th T20I
Are these losses really that shocking? Yes some big players are missing, but these issues have been there for a long time. We often paper over the cracks with random series wins or a win against a bigger nation. Then we get all excited and happy and boisterous, but then we end up with shit like in t...

Re: Zimbabwe vs Namibia | 4th T20I
Been saying it for ages, we do not know how to rotate the strike. We also don't know how to regulate an innings when batting.
Matsi is not the coach. Our batting does not progress at all.

Re: The curious case of Nick Welch
Surely if we are throwing the money at anyone, Cartwright has to be up for a mention. Not really featuring for WA and no chance with Aus, I'm sure he would consider the option of International Cricket.

Re: Vic Falls Stadium
Well if you had included the rest of my post in the quote you would see that was kind of my point. Only England or India amongst cricket nations would be big enough markets and we play them once a decade or something. Bangladesh , Ireland or Afghanistan aren’t bringing 5,000 cricket fan tourists to...

Re: Vic Falls Stadium
It really doesn’t have that much appeal from a tourist perspective. It definitely does. People are not just travelling for the cricket. The idea of supporting their team and going on a safari, whilst also visiting a natural wonder of the world would have appeal, mostly to the Western nations, so in...
