Where can one get the black Zim hat that Sam is wearing.

On a side note, if I was Dave. I'd be getting him in and telling him to bowl to the lads. Could use all the practice facing different bowlers that they can get.

I very much doubt the ECB would let him!!!!!


He was however apparently spotted at a primary school match in Chitungwiza yesterday handing out prizes to the winning team.

Don't think people like to work when they are on holidays . Cricket is a job to these professionals

Four or five overs wouldn't hurt. Helps him to keep in shape. These professionals still need to keep up with training and fitness during the holidays.

Or even if they get him in just to consult or provide advice. The man is already there, not like he has to go out of his way.

One of those ECB contracts is probably around 80 pages.
You'll probably find he'll get reprimanded for wearing the hat :lol:

All these coaches say exactly the same thing, it's not rocket science. It's which coach resonates with the player or the team the most. All the good players take snippets from the various coaches and play their own game.

Houghton has their respect. Can't buy it and you can't scream or bully it into them. Must be frustrating for the guys that will never have it.

Out of the ECB’s jurisdiction yo, Dave is the law here :lol: he’s lived a hard life and the ECB bow down to his greatness.

More chance of Dave himself turning his arm over than the ECB allowing Sam to bowl even 1 ball.

I'm sure that's not Sam Curran?
Close but nose and ears don't seem right.
