Franchise Round 3 - Logan Cup & Pro 50 (23rd-28th November)

PJ registered as an overseas last season. He is ineligible to play for Zim so must be an overseas.

Probably the end of him. And M Frost, Patel, maybe A Frost.

They’d rather have Nigel Bonyongwe and Kudzai Sauramba playing.

Its interesting how everything seems so structured well more of controlled. Mutendera is working over time gets to select the franchise sides too. They should clearly give the guy a raise with all this additional work. The theme of the national strategy is '.. the main thing is the main thing.". What is the main thing?

When the Naqvi's came in there must have been a different strategy working there or perhaps that where the ZC discretion comes in.

[secretzimbo]

It's a reminder that division and opposition doesn't work here.

There has been opposition to Mutendera, ZC, and racist selection. So ZC have just doubled down. It's what they do. It's what happens in this country.

They've closed ranks. Gave Mutendera even more power. Flexed their muscles. Sidelined Mangongo, who was clearly too vocal and independent. And fired a warning to anyone else who rocks the boat. And shown complete and utter disdain for the fans.

We should have expected it. Sort of did, tbf.

That 'strategy' is called bribery

Maruma taking over as captain.

They are coming for Rhinos next, watch out Adam Chifo.

Franchise teams with only 5 black players in the XI clearly unacceptable,

Is he actually taking over as captain?

[Pat_Bee]

Ludicrous

Too controlled. ZC suits telling everyone when to eat, sleep and breathe next

Exactly on the money Secret. They've doubled down.
I was also waiting for that. Engaging via Zolsky and Co on social media made people mistakenly think there was a bit of room for debate but it just enraged them that the custodians were being questioned.
Mentioning either of the Welch's, but particularly NW also seems to anger them unreasonably. They're going to need to score multiple match winning hundreds, and i doubt that will even be enough.

It's also possible of course that someone at Mountaineers has complained. The door is always open for a clever complaint. Divide and rule is how it's always been done.

So I think the odds of Rangers being made a franchise next season is dead?

David will be on his second bottle of Green Label, what a win for him.

They've also really put the squeeze on players financially this season. They're going to have to find several snitches in each franchise to keep everyone miserably trudging onwards. There will be no shortage of those.

What a mess.

They've been doing that for years. Ask players about living conditions when they play in Masvingo, Mutare, Kwekwe, and Byo. Coaches and pointy shoes guys don't suffer the same fate.
