Provisional squad for the U19 world cup

[Googly]

Relax Jimmy, Rubber Mbava is good value. There's no point in getting upset, we're sunk because ZC operates exactly like he thinks. He had a huge following a few years ago and they've followed his blue print to the letter and look where we're at. I want to smugly say "I told you so," but there's a small way to go yet so I'll wait a couple of years until we lose our test status. Sadly he'll switch to an SA forum and start all over again, and the black guys there have got proper anti white rabies and he will become a cult leader rivalling Julius himself. He's playing the same tune that continues to sink Zim and will do the same in SA but he doesn't see it. Sadly the consensus is still that this all might have worked if the chefs hadn't stolen quite so much, instead of realising that this brand of vitriolic racism has not just destroyed a sport but an entire country.

Just as i expected a poor attempt at playing the "i'm just joking card" and no apology.

There is no attempt at anything here. On this forum I have never and will never apologise for any statement that I make that is EE or AA related. So if I had said things the way you chose to understand them I would not have apologised for it, only backed it up further. There is just 14 out of a squad of 39 - not even Chinotimba(?) would complain for that. You simply overreacted due to a failure to comprehend a harmless statement on its "merits". Accept it and leave it at that.

Further even more "cricket related" pictures posted...not.

Not my fault that you don't get them.

So, the latest version of the hhm-bot is still the same with vitriolic verbal diarrhea that has also learnt to attach pictures. Not much progress really for a 3.0 product in my view.

A reminder of a suggestion for others before you engage...

[Kriterion_BD]

Your talent ratio will never pass the Kriterion required. Kindly review it.

?

Kriterion's requirement is simple: pick your best players.

For Zimbabawe that means pick whites/non indigenous or whatever you want to call them because 90% of the cricketing talent resides in the 10% of players who's skin lacks melanin.

Let that sink in, Farrakhan.

90% of the talent lies in white player base. I am not white, nor am I black...I'm a total neutral who believes in judging humans based on their actions and their intent. But I judge athletes on their abilities. If you want to tell me white Europeans have created havoc all over the earth for the past 500 years continuing to the present, you'll be preaching to the choir. But judge people individually. Not to mention politics has little relevance when it comes to picking a cricket team.

Look 90% of the talent in skill positions at major US sports resides in the 12% of the American population that is black. That is not racist, its a fact. Wide receivers, cornerbacks, running backs, basketball players....90% of the real talent is black.

The reverse is true with cricket in Southern Africa (SA, ZIM, probably Namibia too).

When ZC retained its white players they were a fighting bunch which is why 90% of the "non indegineous" posters on this forum bother to support Zim to begin with. Once Streak and company left in 2004, its been abysmal. ZIM have dropped from 9th under Streak to 11th now, and possibly 12th below the likes of Afghanistan. And the team isnt even young and inexperienced like Australia. If you hadn't chased Ballance, Taylor, Jarvis, Welch, et al away, you'd have been ranked at least a couple spots higher.

Dont forget its been the indigenous folks who have run ZC into the ground and chased away all the top players.

[Googly]

Well you're wrong, and this is the poetic justice of it all. Most of the talent is now indigenous (if you jumped the border from Malawi and had 23 children you are indigenous) simply because there aren't the numbers of whites playing. ZC's policies are identical to the government's so it really has come home to roost. They should only allow Chinese in here that can play cricket, because they are the new colonisers (did I spell that correctly??)

Rubber Mbava's observations now make a bit of sense if you remove all the murungus.

[bavuma_rabada]

Bad things happen to you when you don't pick real talent in your side...

[eugene]

I quite agree, shocking performance from the Springboks. Matfield, deVilliers, Kirchner, etc looked old and passed it. Still time to turn things around but this squad is missing some dynamic players in Jaco Kriel, Jan Serfontein, Elton Jantjies, Heinrich Brussouw, Scarra Ntubeni, while deadbeats like JP Pieterson and Siya Kolisi have been chosen. I really don't know what Heyneke is doing.

[Googly]

What I find really amusing is that ZC kept trying to fool everyone that cricket had really taken off in high density areas, hence Chiradza's and Jaure's continuous selections and opportunities, whilst privately educated players such as Gimu and Huchu were not afforded the same chances, yet these ZC personnel have effectively become white collar themselves? Now that's an identity crisis of note and the discrimination is not only on racial lines but also based on school and perceived class. Now that we're officially the second poorest nation on the planet (typing this with the aid of a generator because the more equal people can't run a power station, amongst a host of other things) they really need High Density to work for them so they can live in Low Density, and guess what?? It's not going to, the end is in sight. Rubber Mbava is sadly too smart to suffer the consequences of his ramblings.

[eugene]

Rubber_Mbava is of course living the dream of all "liberated" Zimbabweans, he successfully fled to South Africa to eek out a living.

[Flakeman]

Googly is right in what he says.

And Mabarava, you suggest "the real talent in SA" ....i presume you are thinking of black players. Now what black players deserved to play in the RWC team that arnt there?

Cobus Reinach was robbed by Bulls second string Rudi Paige.

Zane Kirchner is simply poor. And has lost the boks more games than won and to start him ahead of Le Roux was mind blowing.

Are you telling me Nyakane is better than Vincent Koch and Kitshoff?

Kolisi is good but it was touch and go between him and Brussow, Kolisi made it.

Beast Habana Mvovo Pietersen(?) are the only black players who Really deserve fo be there.

Now what players are waiting in the wings who you feel greatly hard done by due to their failure to be selected? Ntubeni? Who isnt in the same bracket as Bismark Strauss and Brits. Jantjies? Who fails to start ahead of Marnitz Boshoff for Lions? Marnits is far better I may add and can feel hard done by.

Cant even think of any others...
