The wheels fell off years ago. Any action taken now is a reaction years late. I only come here after such disasters to remind everyone that this was long coming, i wish to tell you this is the deep end but unfortunately we are not halfway down yet.
1: Calling on Dave’s removal, who comes in ? Utseya
2: I called it out here that Chatara, Welly, Jongwe, Kaia should be nowhere near a zim jersey, i was told you otherwise here.
3: Problem is if you retire Ervine, Williams, Raza… who comes in ?
We are losing to Namibia and Uganda whilst they are there. Those 3 alone have held zim cricket for the past decade.
4: We don’t have a viable domestic setup, giving 1000 games to Mutombodzi, Shumba and Kaia thinking they will be world class, sad part is we still have them playing game in game out on the domestic scene +15 years later.
5: We will have a pretty strong reaction from ZC, none of it will remedy the situation it will only make us worse.
6: The only solution available is to solve the issue the way it was created!!! You took money from players, now throw money at those players outside domestic scene. Not 1 player but 6-7 and bring them all in your Byrom, Cartwrights, etc.
7: Remove quotas !!! Only Muza, Ngarava and some to a lesser extend like Madhevere are worthy to play.
8: Sad part is even with this the Byroms are not better than Ervine, Williams but at least we are starting to build something for the next world cup in 2027.
9: Bring back Zim A games with proper selection!!! This notion of Zim emerging or under 25 and the squad is Shumba, Kaia, Mayavo, Gumbie is throwing money in a trash bin
I will stop here for now till ZC make it worse and keep digging deeper. Unfortunately Houghton is gone so is the older generation of players. The scary part is Chatara, Welly, Shumba, Mutombodzi aren’t and brace yourselves for an Elton and Prosper promotion
