houghton, Streak, Whatmore,Adams, Sammons, etc are all quality coaches.

So why has no one made any significant difference? Besides brief periods in the Streak era?

This tells me that going hard out on a top level national coach isnt the answer.
We need to invest in the technical coaches and development coaches. Googly can coach the national team at half the wage, the players ability is long sorted by then, its just selection and motivation at that point.

We're down to this-
Assemble all the batters in Zim. Put a bowling machine on 145 back of a length on middle and each batsman gets as many goes as he wants to start with a ramp and play every shot round the clock, up and down. Put the best 8 in his T20 squad and let him pick his own line-up.
There's probably about 4 guys that would do it well, but pick the next best 4 :lol:

Have an ambulance on standby for free health care at any private hospital. You dont need to pay anymore. Everything is free. Glory be!
I'm going to save myself 12k a year. I'm a bit worried I might be prejudiced on check-in. Maybe I'll keep paying... :lol:

Surely that's an exaggeration? 12K a year for health insurance? Unless you have a large family that sounds crazy for Zim.

Its 11800. Ya i have dependents. Thats just for emergencies as well. Doesn't cover doctors appointments or prescriptions.
Its only for medical emergency and evac. No x-rays, MRI's nothing, unless there's an accident or anything thst requires hospitalization. Its brutal.

The one private hospital here is part-owned by Grace. They'll probably turf out the peasants. She only eats cake!
