Just curious what the racial makeup of ZCF? I imagine the majority of posters here are white...?

Im Australian with Maltese decent so neither for me, I'm totally un-biased

So you have no ZIM roots? Interesting. We have a couple of Aussie supporters over at BC...one of whom left several years back so now its just the one. At least I'm pretty sure he's straight up Australian. But the most unlikely supporter we had was a fellow named Xavier from Rome, Italy. An Italian who was a Bangladesh cricket fanatic. No idea how he even came to know about cricket. We also had a Slavic fellow, but was married to a Bangladeshi woman, and didn't give a rat's ass about cricket...just joined the forum to learn about BD culture. He left because apparently his wife thought he was spending too much time on BC, lmao.

Yeah no roots or reasons to follow Zimbabwe, but the first time I seen them play in Australia in 2000 or 2001 I fell in love and have been trapped ever since .....

foreignfield is from Germany - with no links to Zimbabwe or cricket I believe. And Dr.Situ and I are from India, nothing to do with Zim the country - we are die hard Zim fans too. No race issues when we discus here

CA, yeah I know Doc is Indian, Sitendra Singh kinda gives it away. But you are Indian as in Indian Indian? FF is german german or a ZIM expat? Looks like most posters are even Zimbabwean!

But you are Indian as in Indian Indian?

Yeah, I'm as Indian as one can get. Fell in love with the Zim team in the late 90's.

OK so next question...ZIM vs IND who do you support? Same for AUS and jaybro.

Zimbabwe

No second thoughts, Zim of course .

In fact after the gentlemen cricketers like Srinath, Kumble, Dravid and Sachin retired, I rarely follow the Indian team these days (unless its against Zim). So, I mostly support the opposition when they play against India (except Pak, may be - now with Grant Flower as their batting coach, even that might change)

As a Bangladeshi fan its almost natural for us to hate India...but we admire the stature of the cricket team. Always have. But Dravid, Tendy were truly honorable cricketers. Unparalleled. Guys like First Kohli and Sreesanth are truly loathe some personalities. I used to love PAK after BD...my very first cricket memory is Vaas cleaning up Ganguly in the 1997 independence cup. I had no idea what cricket was, being an American. My second memory was Saeed Anwar's 194 in the same tourney. From then on I supported Pak except when they played BD. Today, I couldn't tell you which team I hate more India or PAK...since both have such annoying fans. But I will say, SL are the boringest team to watch or follow!

I'm Australian and all of my Zim links are Shona.
