it's mostly social, a few really good ex cricketers. The odd game has a bit of needle and it gets a bit more serious towards knock out stages. Any meeting of more than 10 whites is probably unconstitutional. Might not be long before they introduce a quota system for who you can drink with.

He's still going on proudly about dismantling the elitist sport 30 years after Independence. If every white left the country and never came back, but for one aged white tramp in Fife Ave he would still get the blame, Kasukwere would still be indigenizing and the Gov would still be screaming about em...

The number of vehicles owned by ZC is scary. None of the players have been given one though. BT earns way less than 7 a month. There are plants within the team that report back to ZC about any player discontent, or any plans they may hatch to take it further. These guys are senior players and smooth...

If there was the will at ZC and Gov level, and they made some sweeping, necessary changes we could resurrect this. It would require firing about 40 incompetent cronies for starters, and employing 3 or 4 administrators that knew what they were doing, and two guys to look after the purse strings. Will...

Grass roots cricket is a 20 year plan, we've had 30 years of independence and it still hasn't worked. I'm doubting it will ever, but of course we have to try. We need to strengthen the small strong base we have. It's like that speech comparing capitalism and communism, if you tear down and redistrib...

Probably the Proctor era and immediately after. Club rivalries were intense beyond belief. Inter provincial was even worse (better!!). Late 80's saw a concerted effort to fast track black players into cricket that resulted in club cricket (and rugby, hockey and tennis) falling apart. They were usual...

The Curran's, Sam and Ben in particular, seem to have deep roots here. If ZC was doing well and cricket here was on the up, I do believe there would be a chance that they would consider it at some point. It's tough to make it in England as a person perceived not to be born and raised there. There's ...

The only chance is if he doesn't make it big there, he may want to come back here in many years time to have a go at International cricket. This applies to a lot of players. ZC is in a sorry state, and I'm not seeing it improve any time soon, in fact it will get worse. This latest series against Ind...

Malcolm Lake is in town, give him a burn.

He played in the franchise and didn't make many runs. I'm not saying that he's not capable, because he has huge potential. He needs a good season though, before playing International cricket. I think he'll make the grade but not quite ready yet
