ZIMBABWE CRICKET PERFORMANCE FROM 1992 - 2003 AND FROM 2003- TILL NOW WILL CLEARLY INDICATES THAT THE CRICKET HAS BEEN STRUGGLING FROM LAST 13 YEARS SINCE BLACK COMMUNITIES WERE FORCED TO PLAY THE GAME & THE RESULT IS THEY EMERGED AS "FAILURES", A TRUE CRICKET FAN WILL DEFINATELY AGREE THIS, WHEREAS RACE LOVERS WON'T.
Zimbabwe started to play the game giving tough competition to the full members, it was the 1983 World Cup in England, when Zimbabwe under Duncan Fletcher Upset Australia, and had a toughest fight against India in another group match where India was struggling at 17/5 and an epic innings from Kapil Dev made them loose.
In the era of 1992-2003, where Zimbabwe Cricket was going great guns, they were giving surprises to the world winning matches against top teams like England, India, Pakistan, South Africa, Sri Lanka by the year 1999, Zimbabwe were now considered to be the next big things with players like Flowers, Cambells, Goodwins, Carlisle and a bunch of "quality" allrounders like Guy Whitall, Travis Friend, Andy Blignaut, Neil Jhonson, Sein Ervine who could smash the bowl as well as bowl at 140+kph, also had classic seamers & spinnerd in form of Streak, Brandish, Brian Strang, David Brain.
BUT IT WAS THE YEAR 2003, ZIMBABWE CRICKET WAS SHATTERED BY COUNTRIES PRESIDENT, WHEN HE BROUGHT BLACK EMPOWERMENT POLICY & ASKED THE WHITES TO LEAVE ZIMBABWE, since then Zimbabwe Cricket has been struggling, other nations which once fear Zimbabwe, sends their B or C teams to play with Zimbabwe.The inclusion of quota system of 7 blacks & 4 whites has made Zimbabwe Cricket to reach at the lowest level. From 2003 till now, not a single black player has been found that could match Flowers, Cambells or Streaks. Now, they are loosing matches against the associates which would would not have been happened in dreams at the time of Flowers.
The Game, Administration& Racial Issues got so tough that young white players ate now moving away to represent other nation. Loosing Matches, also made top teams less interested to play with Zimbabwe, as a result board is becomming poor and debt are rising day by day.
ZIMBABWE WILL NOT RISE UP AGAIN UNLESS THEY SCRAP OF SKIN COLOUR & SELECT TEAM BASED ON PERFORMANCE

Sincere,
Did you forget the password to your stoneman account ?
Man to man, let me tell you that the key to being a good troll is to diversify your material.
The same outrageous statement said over and over again loses its effect after the first one or two times.
Besides, We all know that the black admin ruined cricket and that was accepted as truth by pretty much everyone ten years ago.
Coming in at 2016 and proclaiming it in a boisterous and provoking way is like me starting a thread today saying Brendan Taylor has left Zimbabwe. You are just upsetting black people who are fans and already feel abit ashamed and embarrassed by their ZC Ilk. Bvute and Makoni aren't really the ones reading this forum, it's the gargamels that are trying desperately to get things on track again who are reading these threads and they already know the go so you are just ramming it down there throat unnecessarily.

Amazingly, most facts are true. Be wary of opinions though.
Re: Zimbabwe Cricket Struggling since the blacks took over
Sincere; mate we all know what has happened in the past and I as much as anyone wish it never happened. The fact is that it did, so we must rebuild. Zimbabwe will probably never be the team that it was again with the mismanagement that goes on. I think I speak for most people on these forums in saying that I don't really care if Zim play a game with 11 whites or 11 blacks, just as long as they are the best players we can put on the field
Re: Zimbabwe Cricket Struggling since the blacks took over
Zimbabwe always lost games. Even when way back
CHRISTOPHER MPOFU: 'The problem was fear of failure. I used to think that when I played, if I didn't do well in one game, I would lose my place for the next one but now I've let go of that'
Re: Zimbabwe Cricket Struggling since the blacks took over
I know this doesn't mean much but we did win a t20 against India with 5 white players last year. Coventry Waller Ervine Williams and Cremer.. Raza was captain and there were 5 black players..a record of some kind in recent times.
