[Match Thread] Zimbabwe v Afghanistan 1st ODI

[StevenZim]

Sean Williams showed he is Zims best player and should be a lock in for all forms of cricket

We need to tighten up the bowling, our fielding is looking sharper-more concentration and focus being utilised as the guys are fitter than they have been in a few years!
Batting was a shame from Vusi and Hamilton-both a little sketchy and need more composure before displaying their talents. A sizeable crowd of around 300people on a Friday.
Most contract issues settled with some very good "work for your bread" incentives introduced for the players.
Dare i say... well done ZC!
We appear to be walking down the right path to promote our country through smart choices and decisions and perhaps...just perhaps... retain our current crop and achieve some deserved victories over the Safas and Ozzies.

Was good to see Tiripano make his debut. Well deserved after his strong domestic season and a couple of wickets to go with it. Would like to see Madziva also given a chance

300 people watching an untelevised International is not sizeable, Jimmy. Cricket is in deep shit if that's the size of the crowd we can muster. I've just spent an annoying half an hour reading Cricinfo posts by ZCFOutkast, that guy is unbelievable. The tragic thing is that I think he believes what he says. I wonder how many concur with his thoughts?

A win is a win and the inverse is also true. We always trying to be competitive as opposed to actually winning games. Sibanda and Masakadza need to lead from the front and get the big scores. Hope to see one or two big ones in the games to cum.

It's not ideal 300, but considering it's a work day and Afghanistan and compared to crowds recently- it is an improvement.
ZCFOutkast is a plonker probably formerly know as Moussa Ibrahim (one of the biggest b&**&ters i ever heard )
Clearly he is from the Admin team or just out from the mental home. Because how can you have the views he has- ok be misguided and loyal to ZC..but don't start saying how fantastic it is when clearly it isn't.
If anything ZCFOutkast must be embarrassed by the simple fact that ZC is so shite and deplorable that not even Zimbabwe companies will sponsor as they know their money will be pilfered and their good name rubbed with the same dirt of ZC. For example look at the support The Heath Streak Academy got from business- upwards of 70 sponsors put money into the scheme in one form or another drift 2km left to ZC Tuskers and nothing-- in fact now to mention it the boundary sponsor boards were bare. I think the only sponsor being the City of Bulawayo and her 120yr of existence.
So no i don't hold ZCFOutkast views and in fact i have the luxury of knowing the person behind the pseudonom- which just makes me laugh harder

Back to the cricket- i think we'll see something special in the next few months.

This psychological dominance was very prevalent and very important to carry on through to the SA/OZ games. We oozed confidence and an attitude of we are better- come the other teams we shrink back to our small village mentality and "try be competitive".
Zimbabwe needs to roar like a lion and now is the time!! Pamberi!!

You know the man behind ZCF Outkast?

[jimmylesaint]

You know the man behind ZCF Outkast?

I do. No i won't spill the beans. If he wants to be known, he'll tell.
I am all for pseudonoms as it allows people to talk freely-good or bad. Or public figures to have somewhere to vent without being judged.

[ZIMDOGGY]

Zcf outkast has previously stated he is an IT worker from South Africa (maybe Joburg) but was born in Bulawayo to the minority type of black there - the ones from matabeleland but I don't think they are called Matabele ?

Does that fit the suspicion that you have jimmy?
I can't tell if he is. An incredible shit stirrer or lost his marbles
He comes across as smart, but I wonder his many players read his shit and get disillusioned
