I'm intrigued by Blessing Gondo? Anyone have any info on him?
We need more background on the multitude of board members that float around with fancy titles, collecting cash and not appearing to do very much.

Raza the hero yet again.

And yet again out trying something fancy and failing to get us over the line :lol: :lol:
I hope youre joking? That was a brilliant innings. Right idea too, just missed the ball.

That was Brian Bennett's 3rd duck in a row. Got a pair against NZ and now this one. 7 innings without a score, across 2 formats though. He's still got rope, but his loss of form was after that bad hit he took.

Pretty sure Taylor won't keep next game. He needs to do the same thing- keep for an over and bring on Madande as a reserve keeper so we dont have to watch him bat.
Evans bowled very well for not a lot of return.
Blessing and Richie bowled well.
Raza had a fantastic day. I wasnt expecting that.
Curran batted really well. I have to confess he's more solid than I thought.
Good to see Williams bowling. Great day for him as well.
It will be interesting if they go for 4 seamers next game. Gwandu will be lucky to get the next game, the clock is theoretically ticking for him, needs to step up soon.

Takashinga stalwart been invovled with it since the start.

Played for Mash in the 90’s.

Many stories about him, he was involved in Mash and Eagles in the early 2000s. Typical ZC administrator.

Jonty might have some stories actually. For once we might actually agree on something maybe :lol: :lol: A rarity

Just been reading Zolsky's take.
Evans is shit, despite bowling damned well. Exactly who we need. Shit batsman, but had that scoop worked he'd have been a hero. Had to go for it and it was actually a good option.
Must be replaced by Masakadza who would have won us the game with bat and ball.
Trevor unfortunately had another shit outing, but he will be back.
Tony is now the future, but had he played that a bit smarter we likely would have won that. Played well though, being a bit critical, but its the truth. Chasing 300 u need to be run a ball or slightly better. 43 off 52 when you're down to the sharp end tells the story. The conversation with him post match should have been- you saw u werent timing it, hit the gaps, get Raza on strike, dont try hit it so hard. You knew those wide yorkers were coming, trigger to 4th. Your attempts at boundary balls shoukd have been the 5th and 6th balls so if you dont get them you havent chewed up balls.....but not bad nonetheless, well played. Thats the conversation, no other.

I hate this mafia vs cabal stuff. Toxic beyond.
Those guys sit up there in the VIp box gulping green label and fanta and not a cricketing brain cell between them.

That Munyonga conversation is exactly why most of our players learn fuck all year in and year out. A half decent performance and they wax lyrical. Once again it was ok to good, but not good enough, he and Raza had the game in their hands. Raza played his part, Tony...almost.

Did u see that dude that passed himself off as new police commissioner and gave a press conference and gave the chinese 48 hours to leave Zim :lol:
Then stole a police car and drove around. Sadly in jail because he's right. They own everything. And with this new legislation on land ownership where u can now get title deeds...eeish stand by for the land they will own by year end.
Zimbos are about to learn the true meaning of the word colonization.

I drove thru Hwange Park recently, half of it covered in coal dust. They are lethal.
