Just heard Mulder explaining why he declared. Sorry but he needs to give his head a wobble. Absolutely retarded way of thinking. Wtf.

What did he say?

Can somebody other than Williams step up? We're not exactly facing a world class bowling lineup on a seaming wicket! Kaitano, Welch, Madhevere are all long overdue for runs. Time to give some other guys opportunities if they can't score now. The game is already lost so not a lot of pressure.

What did he say?

He basically said Brian Lara is a legend of the game and he thought it would have been disrespectful for him to dethrone him(indirectly hinted that he did not want to dethrone him in these circumstances as Lara did it playing against England so yeah pretty much “i would not want to do it playing against Zim”) He really tried not to disrespect us but he also kinda did??

Mulder thanking Zim head coach Justin sammons about how he helped his cricket.

This is a big thing though. The coaches we've had have turned out some great players. They've produced some quality and actually helped players and teams, yet whenever they come to Zim, it's like nothing happened.

I refuse to believe it is our coaches. The only coach I will heavily criticise is Matsi. That man continues to steal a living. The rest of our Head Coaches, they surely cannot be the problem. It definitely comes down to our players. Weak mentality.

Only one of them stands up. Williams clearly has a better mentality. He applies what he is taught, and he never let's the mental side overawe him, like the rest do.

I'm still not 100% convinced by the coaching staff mainly on some tactical decisions they make but with our own eyes we have seen Bennett and Chivanga improve.

Chivanga has been a real surprise. He has the ability to produce a wicket taking delivery and the coaching staff has managed to identify that and improve other aspects of his game so that there is more accuracy and plans. It was a shame that he bowled Mulder when he had overstepped. In England he actually was threatening and had a chance put down by Tsiga I think.

Bennett I liked how they eased him in. Will love to see how they help him develop his game plan against the short ball. 2 players in about 12 months is actually not too bad. Ben also has done ok. Being a head coach is not easy but in terms of working with the players they are trying. The players also have to put their hands up and apply themselves

Sammons is the coach who helped Mulder to improve his short ball play. He himself said that.

That's not just been an issue with these coaches. It's been a thing for some time. I'm convinced our players are just not tactically smart enough and make up things on the fly, even if it goes against the coaches instruction.

What a cuck.

Irony was Lara was being very selfish that day to get to 400.

I could be the zim (or any international) head coach. Its almost a figurehead position.

The coaches we need are the development age ones.
