Bvute is the man that made anywhere between 25 and 70 million evaporate. Brilliant choice.

I know as a fact the tens of millions Mr Bvute was worth has been whittled down big time.
What an opportunity to reload. He is the Grand Master.

He really should retire now before they sack him. I can't see how he can possibly stay onMarshmallow wrote: ↑Sat Aug 09, 2025 1:19 pmIsn't it the best time to move on from Ervine’s captaincy?
My pick for captain from the current squad is Nick Welch. He has a fighting mentality and isn’t shy to argue with opponents — as we saw in the Zim A vs SA Emerging series.
I'm still in shock over how bad that was. There's no excuses this time.

His captaincy is very ordinary, but he's one of the few that doesnt look like a rabbit at this level. Thats talking him down, and i dont mean to do that, when he's playing well hes a top player. His worst format is probably T20 and he probably should still be in that team, thats the truth of it.
Put Craig full time in domestic and he'd be a table topper in every format.

This years batting stats are pretty awful, the bowling is even worse. Only 2 players with international standard averages, Williams and Blessing (bowling).

Blessing in 9th position of batting list

I get seriously annoyed when he starts swiping in a test innings. Dunno why he cant us the opportunity to try and bat a bit better. Obviously its a lost cause but get something out of it, plus he denied Welch a chance at a 50 there.

Are you sure Bvute is back in the mix? Whats his role?
It would be absolutely calamitous news if he's back. This guy was pretty much the architect of our demise.

No. Bvute and Makoni had a a big fall out. For all our many many grave enormous problems at every level, at very least we can thank our fucky stars that Bvute is well out of the picture.
If you ever think that things are at rock bottom, just think - he could still be involved.

We are really at rock bottom though.
Some of the social media opinions are tragic, mind. Just so depressing. Hard to know where we go from here, but some of the clueless retards on social media are even more clueless than the actual people in power , and that’s hard to comprehend.
It’s very hard to imagine how few people in this country have the slightest ounce of cricketing nous.
