Heard his parents paid ZC to make him part of the Rocks squad. Wonder if they got a refund?secretzimbo wrote: ↑Wed Apr 28, 2021 12:35 pmHe's been in England for several years. Was supposed to come to Zim for the first part of the Logan Cup before Christmas but didn't travel in the end - maybe Covid related or something. Hopefully he comes over next season.Marshmallow wrote: ↑Wed Apr 28, 2021 11:28 amWhere is alistair frost seen his name in the rocks squad. Is he still in zimbabwe?

Haha that’s quite surprising because he actually seems like a decent player!
Reminds me of the rumours that one of the lads in the last U19 squad paid his way into it! Ebrahim I think?

I won’t say that is confirmed fact but let’s just say I have good information that makes me 99.99% confident.
And besides that fact, he was clearly useless. Batted 10 (like a number 10) and didn’t bowl.
I just hope the little prick is happy that he pushed another (probably) poor kids dream opportunity out the window because he wanted to play pretend cricketer.
Imagine being a kid and having that taken away from you.

Especially after reading Blessing’s story of poverty and how the Rising Stars tour changed his life. That is really poor from all parties involvedZIMDOGGY wrote: ↑Fri Apr 30, 2021 9:13 pmYeah something like that.secretzimbo wrote: ↑Fri Apr 30, 2021 8:39 pmHaha that’s quite surprising because he actually seems like a decent player!

The only time I think it is passable is when it’s semi privately organised and it wouldn’t have occurred otherwise. Some National under 15 type tours have been organised this way and funded form the parents. Ebrahim is welcome to pretend he is a cricketer in that instance and that is more than ok if daddy wants to fund that.TapsC2 wrote: ↑Sat May 01, 2021 6:44 amEspecially after reading Blessing’s story of poverty and how the Rising Stars tour changed his life.

But a televised, prestigious under 19 tour is not on. Especially when you hear the Blessign poverty story as you mentioned.
Even if it was a well off kid, why break his little heart after busting his balls out.
