ZIMBABWE CRICKET PERFORMANCE FROM 1992 - 2003 AND FROM 2003- TILL NOW WILL CLEARLY INDICATES THAT THE CRICKET HAS BEEN STRUGGLING FROM LAST 13 YEARS SINCE BLACK COMMUNITIES WERE FORCED TO PLAY THE GAME & THE RESULT IS THEY EMERGED AS "FAILURES", A TRUE CRICKET FAN WILL DEFINATELY AGREE THIS, WHEREAS RACE LOVERS WON'T.
Zimbabwe started to play the game giving tough competition to the full members, it was the 1983 World Cup in England, when Zimbabwe under Duncan Fletcher Upset Australia, and had a toughest fight against India in another group match where India was struggling at 17/5 and an epic innings from Kapil Dev made them loose.
In the era of 1992-2003, where Zimbabwe Cricket was going great guns, they were giving surprises to the world winning matches against top teams like England, India, Pakistan, South Africa, Sri Lanka by the year 1999, Zimbabwe were now considered to be the next big things with players like Flowers, Cambells, Goodwins, Carlisle and a bunch of "quality" allrounders like Guy Whitall, Travis Friend, Andy Blignaut, Neil Jhonson, Sein Ervine who could smash the bowl as well as bowl at 140+kph, also had classic seamers & spinnerd in form of Streak, Brandish, Brian Strang, David Brain.
BUT IT WAS THE YEAR 2003, ZIMBABWE CRICKET WAS SHATTERED BY COUNTRIES PRESIDENT, WHEN HE BROUGHT BLACK EMPOWERMENT POLICY & ASKED THE WHITES TO LEAVE ZIMBABWE, since then Zimbabwe Cricket has been struggling, other nations which once fear Zimbabwe, sends their B or C teams to play with Zimbabwe.The inclusion of quota system of 7 blacks & 4 whites has made Zimbabwe Cricket to reach at the lowest level. From 2003 till now, not a single black player has been found that could match Flowers, Cambells or Streaks. Now, they are loosing matches against the associates which would would not have been happened in dreams at the time of Flowers.
The Game, Administration& Racial Issues got so tough that young white players ate now moving away to represent other nation. Loosing Matches, also made top teams less interested to play with Zimbabwe, as a result board is becomming poor and debt are rising day by day.
ZIMBABWE WILL NOT RISE UP AGAIN UNLESS THEY SCRAP OF SKIN COLOUR & SELECT TEAM BASED ON PERFORMANCE
