It is strange right there are i think more than five members on this forum who have no connection whatsoever to Zimbabwe as a country but some of us are more passionate about cricket in Zimbabwe than a true Zimbo. Maybe through previous lives, as Buddhist believe in rebirth, we had some connection to the country and cricket in particular.
Madondo reborn as Lobsang confirmed. Hows your off drive?
Lol I was born well before he died I reckon. As regards my off drive, I was not that bad at the game. Used to bat at number 7 during my schooling days and bowl medium pace, in fact in early 20s I was considered quite quick at my university. Who here on the forum played club cricket?
A bunch of franchise and even a few national players browse and read the forum. Especially at times of a major event like yesterday.

Bulawayo check out this thread from 11 years ago and we were talking about it then. He was kicking it to death apparently. not belting it with a bat.

Im also curious what else I was referring too. I didnt speak very highly about his personality then and something would have prompted me to be that strongly worded, something about of Zim. Not just duck.
So now after 12 years of thinking, Mr Doggy does killing a duck equate to killing a bug/ant? 😂

So they posted this „run out“ again after the spot fixing allegations. I had forgotten about this completely. Really feels weird now with all the context maybe something was up:

Not necessarily this particular case, but as I mentioned a few pages back - Mr Masakadza will be sitting nervously right now. There have always been whispers. He's also conspicuously disappeared for the past three months.
Did i not read somewhere that he is/was in Sri Lanka as well? I remember someone complaining about why he travels with the team.

He was listed in the touring party by a journalist yeah. I was the one to mention it! But then he wasn't photographed with them. There was a team photo including with the staff and I don't think he was in that either? So doesn't look like he actually went.

I'm surprised the media didn't get a sniff of this earlier

Got more ridiculous with time.
Thought he was trolling at the time but in hindsight he was thinking he was mr philosophy.

You struggle to pick up on sarcasm and puns don’t you?
There’s been a few that need further explaining lol
It’s ok it could be a language thing.
Edit- to Lobsang obv.

Ok😂 could be a language barrier, meanwhile there are not even six recognized batters in Dutch line-up today, the openers strung together 100 partnership. A full strength Dutch team could have easily beaten these arrogant Afghans. What is happening with Dutch cricket? Why many prominent names are missing?
