Perhaps it would be best for all if a permanent news blackout was placed on Zim cricket performances

Ends a disastrous day for African cricket. Zimbabwe lose yet again and South Africa are eliminated from the World Cup in what has been their worst WC till date.

.. But tomorrow is another day, let's hope for a fresh and happy beginning :)

Never say never folks!

Hopefully the first guy to get the boot is whoever is in charge of media. Not one live post or result. Bloody ridiculous man. What do they get paid to do?
150 all out, Ervine did well and Taylor weighed in with a few and then nothing.

Really sad with this performance. Guess it has become a habit now and looks like the Zim players doesn't feel any difference, nor showing any determination to win.

Of course they want to win. They’re a good bunch of guys and they’re professional competitive sportsmen. They haven’t played much cricket, what little local cricket they play is not of a high enough standard and we definitely don’t play enough T20 here. Guys are harsh towards our boys, they’re doing their best.

After all this Masakadza should not have been Capt it hard to drop him...Time to consider PJ Moor as an opening batter or a bench player...
New blood is needed
Mumba
Mavuta
Murray
Madhevere
Should be the core of youngsters integred into the squad..
Persuading Ed Byrom and Jared S would help a lot...
It's for Masakadza and Chigs to retire and give youngsters a chance...

It's not so much only the fact that we are losing, but the nature in which we are losing. Far too easy for the Netherlands. If anyone can prove to me how much of a benefit Rajput has been, please feel free...

Can’t get good at something if you don’t do it enough . We have no cricket under our belt , no support , nothing. Not to mention picking has beens on the regular .

I'm actually curious as to why Chigumbura is being selected. What is it that he'll bring to the table which will contribute to the teams success? Absolutely ludicrous selections of Mpofu, Chigumbura and Mutumbami

We're actually play quite a bit considering. Also do not buy that idea as the likes of Netherlands, Scotland, Ireland do not play as much particularly against better opposition, so we really have no excuse.
