He couldn't take a wicket in last year's 50 over competition.. He bats 3/4 for his club in the UK but bats number 11 at Eagles!! Be serious please..
Because Timoni or what ever his name is didn't give him a chance!
He's in no boozers like neither, he's in the second Division of the Greater Manchester Premier League, pipe down, be serious please..
My friend if you can't take wickets when the coach picks you as a strike bowler in LIST A cricket then you go on and take bucket loads of wickets in this "Greater Manchester league" then that shows there's nothing "Great/Greater about it.. The standard is sh!t simple.. Let him take wickets in List A or First Class were it counts than some league you think is of a High standard.. Oh and tell him Eagles Preseason training starts on Monday( He knows.. The first month is fitness). Club cricket is done and he isn't flying back until guys are done with fitness..I'll bet on that!!!
Guarantee the GMCL is 5 times stronger than any Zimbabwean FC system as of 2016.
Luke Procter plays in it, as does Stepehn Parry, Warren Hegg and many more Lancashire players.
Tino Best played last week. You talk about #tealtalk..? I've seen zimbabwe's FC System a couple of years ago when it was 10 times what it is now, and the league/standard Brandon Diplock is playing in is a fuck load stronger. You have nasty, arrogant, gutsy cricketers who want to win and play hard, not wet lettuce like cricketers in the FC system. There's about 20 genuinely talented FC cricketers in Zimbabwe (minus the usual national players), and that's it, the rest are cannon fodder.
Diplock is a mate, yea, but I know how much he wants to represent his country, and he's told me he was at almost all the training/fitness sessions. The bloke isn't a liar and he certainly doesn't speak out of turn, he lets his bowling and batting do the talking.

Players like Aleseni, who are self obsessed, arrogant and constantly claim they bowl over 150 clicks are the delusional ones. Get a fucking grip, people know who you are Rupeni

Woah Sloandog, the Zim Vigne Cup is a proper standard of cricket. About the same as Franchise if im honest.

It really is good cricket. We will see how all these players do starting next week ! Cant wait to see who does what.

Sounds like Rupeni has it in for Diplock. He will get a lot more swing and seam in English conditions, which will suit his bowling. I haven't seen him play for a while, but he's decent. I'm surprised that he's consistently made runs though, because he was a middle/lower order batsman. Most of the clubs have three senior sides and age group sides, so there's an abundance of good players. I know lots of players over there and they say the standard is good and when a club has its county players available it's very competitive.

Diplock is one of the most talented if not the most talented players I've ever met or seen.. I want to see him doing well but he has to work hard.. Aliseni is confident, maybe arrogant and overly pompous for someone who hasnt achieved anything and is lazy as f#ck!!! I don't like him but I appreciate his talent. Nyauchi is the real deal. Diplock in terms of talent is 10 times better than Meth, Elton, Williams or Aliseni... I call a spade a spade and if you don't like it then that's your problem.. The day Diplock decides to work hard is the day he'll become a millionaire.. That's how talented the guy is.. I have my favourite player, Williams.. He's a talented arrogant prick.. But he's the most valuable player we have.. A special player.

I dont hate or despise any player but I dont like people who waste their talent like Dipaz.. The day he fully realizes his potential, I'll be stoked!!! Why?? Coz he's doing well and if he's doing well it means Zim is doing well..
