unbelievable..worst part about it is that Mangongo might come back!

to be fair Dav really disappointed towards the end..especially against Afghanistan..

[ZIMFAN]

I don't know why I get surprised any more.

Didn't they give Dav a four year contract?

Mangongo. That is proper bat shit crazy.

If Taibu really wanted to help he should start playing cricket again and not just "boozers cricket" (Mangongo, 2012) in England.

The lunatics are running the asylum men (and Anusha). When will this nonsense ever stop?

[eugene]

At least they didn't do it on the eve of a major international tour...oh wait.

[SpitfiresKent]

Yeah the timing isn't great but I like the idea of Ntini taking charge albeit temporary. We all saw the passion he showed from the balcony of the dressing room in the WT20 cheering the boys on. I wouldn't totally be against Mangongo being given another crack at head coach either, perhaps he will bring some of the u19 guys through to the senior team with him? Taibu and Klusener are good additions too.

[Kriterion_BD]

Whatmore had a long reign...a year may not seem like long, but in that year ZIM played 30 games with very little improvement. Thats the equivalent of 3 regular years, and the team is a veteran side with mostly 30 something players playing for 10+ years...

Mangongo is crap...the only thing good about him is the discipline he'll bring...but at the cost of whatever confidence the boys have left.

[Mueddie28]

Zimbabwe replace Dav Whatmore with Makhaya Ntini

[Flakeman]

How is Mangongo being considered?

Oh wait....these cronies are all in this together. Stuff the country. The privileged few are gaining large amounts of funds.

I cant take it much longer.

While i am supprised about the news the only odd thing is that this is happening just before we play India,
But just to note we we're thrashed by Afghanitstan several times under Whatmore and we lost a seies to Afghiganistan which was out lowest point.
We failed to qualify for the world cup Masakadza's performances were shambolic two runouts in a major tournament speaks volume about him and his batting didnot come through when we needed it as a captain and senior player he should have come throughconsidering he was the man in form, so he deserves the sack.
The return of Taibu for me in any capacity is good news, with his work ethic i think he should bring the standard up and he might not be scared to select new younger players.
Mangongo personally i saw this coming he deserves another chance he is likely to get rid of some of the dead wood must i say this Sibanda ,Williams, Chigumbura its time to say good bye to them and try new faces Like Burl, PJ moor,Chari
