Nah I'd gladly get all three back.

Math I thought naturally swung the ball, both new and old, more than anyone in the country and could genuinely bat.
Coventry, on his day, could be monstrous with the bat,
As could Mire.

But I'd only have Meth near a test line up lup

Mire hardly played for the National Side. I wonder how much his owed. Why you so bitter?
Why am i so bitter???
Why are you so stupid is the real question?
Mire of course isn't owed as much as the other two, OBVIOUSLY!!! You just picked up on him to try argue your stupid position.
Coventry came back because he was promised his money owed previously which he got- the fact they never paid him for Pakistan in full......
Meth is owed money and was offered peanuts at the start of the new season so went elsewhere....whose loss??? ZImbabwes, because we will be like Kenya by 2020.

The truth about Zimbabwe cricket is it was built on the pride of what the government says are now "Aliens" what europe would call "expats" what the whites would call themselves Zimbabwean,, with pride,.. until the government disowned them.
The indigenous/black population was not interested in cricket then and for the majority are still not interested in cricket, they love football first. The participation in the sport is because of the money to be made, not necessaryily to win or even compete.

Whilst i am annoyed at the 5yr old mentality displayed ....
thing I think a lot of people don't understand is that everybody is owed money in Zim. There is no exception. its more to do with the economy itself than ZC alone. its still a business and there are very few businesses thriving. Corruption definitely plays a part too but if u have been to Zim in the last year or so or currently live there then you would know.
This is ....special mind control, the quote above.
We know the economy and the country are stuffed and so to most businesses because of the political decisions made in the millenium which were racist, in government and in ZC. But effectively what has changed in ZC, money comes in from ICC and TV rights, always has (probably won't always will after todays loss!)
So how can all of a sudden ZC not pay people because of the zim economy, ZC doesn't make money or rely on the Zim economy to get money. :lol: :roll:

Is KM in Canada? If so I wonder if he plays any cricket there? His action was very borderline, which is probably why he hooped it so much. Someone said he was a body builder? Jimmy you say he's still owed money by ZC? Surely it's worth his while trying legal action if he's not intending to play cricket here anymore? The guys that are owed should all get together and attempt a class action.

I've always wondered this.
Either way, Meth was a very good longer format all rounder. Meticulously accurate and he could genuinely bat as well. Shame really but hey, at least he's stuck to his guns (pardon the pun) and not been allowed to be trampled on. True reflection of his character i guess
