Zimbabwe vs west indies tomorrow for 11th place

[CholeZimbo]

The fielding is shocking

12th (without New Zealand as well…) is a poor result but It was expected. As I said before the tournament, the very best they could hope for was 10th/11th again and that only if absolutely everything went to plan.


Looking forward to African Regional Qualifiers with Uganda, Namibia and probably St Helena and Somalia how depressing

We've dropped 3 catches and missed 5 run outs in 2 overs

who the hell is shouting instructions from the ropes we really seem disorganized here

Apalling.

Wild guess?

The think tank has been orchestrating things the entire tournament. Utseya deserves to be shot.

[secretzimbo]

Oh damn, the boys look super emotional here at the end. Devastated.

This is where you need support staff with some idea of duty of care. If Chitare and the other rats go in there and scream at them again right now then I really give up.

These boys have talent, again, the coaching seems so unprofessional. I liked Utseya the bowler, but as for coaching credentials I am not sure. Clearly no game plan as the captain and keeper should do the placings from the theoretical coaching sessions before the game. This live coaching is not for cricket, maybe one or 2 instructions not every single over . Oh well. The boys should keep their heads high. We really just have to hope that those who want to stay are well managed. New coach for the next edition, otherwise ZC will have Utseya as a lifetime U19 coach. This is a really important age group in a nations cricket and the coach should be well qualified or someone with some coaching badges. You can easily kill a youngsters spirit and trust in the system at a young age.

Utseya, Hondo, Matsikenyere are really going to be big issues for us. At least get them into coaching clinics, learn the game, watch a lot of scenarios and footages then be trusted with teaching anyone. At this moment, it seems like a lot of the brotherhood and don't worry, I will organize something for you, you won't go hungry while I am the director my good old friend. This is why the elite players, mostly whites lose faith in such people around them, then it becomes a whole race thing once again.

Those boys are going to get it tight after this game. I'm sure what is said will filter back at some point, but it's going to be super ugly.
