Guarantee the GMCL is 5 times stronger than any Zimbabwean FC system as of 2016.rupeni wrote:My friend if you can't take wickets when the coach picks you as a strike bowler in LIST A cricket then you go on and take bucket loads of wickets in this "Greater Manchester league" then that shows there's nothing "Great/Greater about it.. The standard is sh!t simple.. Let him take wickets in List A or First Class were it counts than some league you think is of a High standard.. Oh and tell him Eagles Preseason training starts on Monday( He knows.. The first month is fitness). Club cricket is done and he isn't flying back until guys are done with fitness..I'll bet on that!!!sloandog wrote:Because Timoni or what ever his name is didn't give him a chance!rupeni wrote:Carl Mumba, Stephen Chimhamhiwa, Mkululi Nyathi, Mark Mbofana are all better than your favourite player Diplock.. Taking wickets in some boozers league isn't really looked at.. He couldn't take a wicket in last year's 50 over competition.. He bats 3/4 for his club in the UK but bats number 11 at Eagles!! Be serious please..
He's in no boozers like neither, he's in the second Division of the Greater Manchester Premier League, pipe down, be serious please..
Luke Procter plays in it, as does Stepehn Parry, Warren Hegg and many more Lancashire players.
Tino Best played last week. You talk about #tealtalk..? I've seen zimbabwe's FC System a couple of years ago when it was 10 times what it is now, and the league/standard Brandon Diplock is playing in is a fuck load stronger. You have nasty, arrogant, gutsy cricketers who want to win and play hard, not wet lettuce like cricketers in the FC system. There's about 20 genuinely talented FC cricketers in Zimbabwe (minus the usual national players), and that's it, the rest are cannon fodder.
Diplock is a mate, yea, but I know how much he wants to represent his country, and he's told me he was at almost all the training/fitness sessions. The bloke isn't a liar and he certainly doesn't speak out of turn, he lets his bowling and batting do the talking.
