I certainly was right in what I was saying in his case :D
Yea but you were also bitching about all Catholics, not all are as radical as Tatenda seems mate.
But the fact that Taibu said he doesn't want his kids to be idols etc is a very selfish thing to say, stating that he wishes them only to follow god is pathetic. It's their lives not his, and they should have the freedom to choose.

I've lost a lot of respect for him, and it seems that he's lost his marbles to a degree. Farewell, and welcome to the next young keeper batter.

It all sounds very evengelical to me, its not enough to just worship god but you have to preach it as well and convert which is very evengelical in nature, not good. Very all-encompassing which is also not healthy, thought taibu would be more balanced than that. I am a christian and I refuse to have my children baptised as i think that is there right of passage and religion should not be forced on people

If it came over as I was bitching about all catholics then apologies, that was not what I meant. It was the organisation I was really commenting on.

I do agree about Tatenda. I cannot see how it is moreally defensible to inflict his rather backward religion on his children. They sound like the happy clappy, tambourine shaking, evo lot.

I had a friend who I used to lodge with who had some happy clappy types round to lunch once. All they did was bang on about their religion and how it was their mission to go to places like China and convert the backwards locals to Christianity. Of course I found this highly offensive but did not want to dwell on it out of respect for my host. It was the same mentality that the white coloniser brought to the continent all those years ago. Bringing the light of christianity to the backward primitives. I find it highly offensive and expected better of Tatenda.

Yes heard his interviw at cricinfo.com too ... wat a quality WK he was , and a better batsman as well ...i still remember him the first time when i saw him and he was like a kid ....He was the find of zimbabwe cricket ...i am a big fan of zimbabwe cricket .... they have got talent but not money :( unfortunately ....just cant remember the name of the batsman who broke the record of 194 made by saeed anwer ....oh yeah charles coventry ....those kind of players only comes from a talented nations ... ICC must have to show extra support to already playing test nations rather spending money on associate countries , because cricket can't be globalize ....it only looks good between the already playing test nations ...
