Zim Squad T20 WC (No Cephas)

[Flakeman]

Tawac it isnt harsh at all. Some if not most are in it for the money.

And I agree with Jaybro when I say how on earth are ypu throwing Ervine into that category?

[tawac]

So apparently Ntini is a fitness freak. How will he handle our two front men Panyangara and the returnee Chatara.

[TapsC]

Heard the same thing about Ntini. I think Panyangara is a lost cause in terms of fitness but I hope he can instill that work ethic in guys like Madziva, Chatara, Jongwe, Bowie Mumba Tiripano and the u19 fast bowlers. We need guys bowling quicker and for longer spells especially for the test matches coming up

Top grade ZC central contracts go for 50K USD

BT was on $144k a year, wages, not including allowances match fees and the odd win bonus.
The current crop range from $36k per annum wage only,, to the highest $102k per annum wage only.
There is a feeling with our players that they are owed this and more!!! They honestly believe they are the Zimbabwe equivalent to premier league footballers and are a precious commodity in themselves.
Have you seen how our overpaid bowlers don't catch balls or back up at the wicket in case they break a finger nail.
I have no problem if someone like PJ Moor produces the runs 9/10 times to get $100k and restore some Zim pride but LT(who is on the $102k i mention) has produced his penis and done the elephant dance instead of runs.
Hammy is in good form and has more desire to win then LT ever had or will have.
Vusi is in good form and really wants to prove.
PJ Moor is hungry
Raza complacent
Madziva a spoilt little brat who can't even look after his sore thumb.
Williams is a narcissist he bums at the arb tournaments come the WCups when everyone is watching him he gets a hard on and sometimes uses that to hit sixes...he'll do well.
Jongwe gives the impression of laziness but is one of the fittest and fastest athletes in the squad---lacks self believe.
TC- working very hard at becoming better has a smart brain and likes to win.
Wellington--good kid, has a lot to learn and unfortunately is learning it from the wrong people at the moment. But too smart for this to last.
Cremer--good call to bring him back. Didn't work with Choppa but certainly did with Cremer.
Irving--T20 not his best format.
Panyagara--fat and arrogant
Chatara--fat and arrogant, will snap.
Richie Mutumbami----just along for the cash, doesn't care if Zim win or lose. Choses the side that means less work ratio.
Vitori:-very fit and driven fella but techniquely crap. Perhaps he'll be the bowling coach of U19 next???
Muzarabani---good riddance
Chari---his lazy is other peoples work hard mode. He suffers from emotional insecurity.
Nyumbu:- good riddance i hear he bought a car with his last match fees, drives with no licence and spends his days signing autographs and selfies whilst his belly gets fatter. There is only an "i" in his "Team Nyumbu"
Donald Tiripano: seems driven and always puts 100%
Chris Mpofu: Still dreaming he is good, bowling from the side and doesnt realise he is finished in National side.
Dav Whatmore: funny accent and likes to please everyone but isn't a str8 talker. Does as he is told from Kenyon.
Kenyon:Does the right thing 90% of the time and does what he is told 10% of the time regarding selection.
Dave Mutendere: finding his feet but has his own mind....we think.
Walter Chamaguta:Snake, tries to run the selection process how he wants it to be. After the last tour he was on, apparently he hides behind God to justify his unholy actions!!??
Stanley Chioza: doesn't know what being an analyst is.
Anesu M: Lucky to have this job after his cock ups. Must be related or just Shona?
Ntini:looks like a hard worker but lacks technical data--will be a failure
Tino Mutombodzi:Emotionally unsure, like a child.

I'm trying to work out who you mean, Waller? -- but what does TC stand for?

Amazing insight. Interesting what you say about Nyumbu, Mutambami and Madziva. The latter looks like he's really driven and wants to succeed.

[reverbinstinct]

Tc has to stand for tendai chisoro,.although i want to know what type of bloke waller is

The latter is very excitable and i think has been very lucky, likes to succeed if not too strenuous.

I forgot about Waller, you whites all look the same
Waller: uptight in general, best thing for his dad not to be around him anymore so not so uptight and batting better than when his dad was around. Good athlete and managing to catch some high balls too. Wants to win.

I think I figured that out while reading the list, and forgot it once I'd gotten to the bottom and was wondering where Maru was

As Sloan said, amazing insight, much of it confirms the feeling one gets while watching these guys, other assessments of personalities I will take with a grain of salt ...

I beg to differ about Richmond and Nyumbu. These blokes may seem like me people but the are true veterans of Zimbawbe Cricket and what may seem as being me first is a realisation that they need to aquire and accumulate what ever they can while they are still in the selectors favor. Both are family men and priorities their family's well being who are the the ones who suffer long periods of being unpaid. Both are guarded and may seem not interested or not hard working they have hard cricketer attitudes that we lack in some of the crop we have. Richmond suffered under the instruction of batting coach Bundu Waller when he was instructed to just look for ones the same can be said about Waller Junior who since his fathers departure has flurished and blossomed and show his true talent. You need to realsie Richmond is the ideal fireman to fix Zimbabwe's top order
