This is probably directed more at the people who have chosen to support Zimbabwe from abroad over the journey, rather than the people who live/have lived there. I remember in the mid-to-late 2000s when, despite the team being pretty bad, it was always fun to follow the goings on. We'd have players f...

2004 team hands down, at least they were getting pumped by the likes of Australia and India full-strength. The current team get pumped by Uganda and Singapore and we get excited if we get to play a full-strength Ireland. Despite 2004-09 or so being depressing, at least it was fun to watch how the ne...

Let Melton-mania begin! How do we get this guy back to Zimbabwe and in the team? A ZCF obsession is certainly a good starting point! Who remembers Moor-mania? He was nowhere near the team until ZCF got behind him. Melton is the future, anybody who stands in the way of this reality needs to be drive...

Besides the big three (if they stay), who's going to score our next international century?

Maybe Burl, Madhevere... then who?

This is our problem.

Maybe Castle Corner should get the knighthood, the support at HSC was absolutely phenomenal.
Get the bloody floodlights in, the place would be rocking for a night game!

Time to move on from these chokers. No excuses today. They fucked up. Williams is the only one I feel for because he turned up in almost every game. Time for us to gel new blood and focus on the next 4 years. No qualification necessary so let them learn. They didn't choke today, they were undone by...

I think we really missed Gary Ballance today, he had the skill and temperament to get us over the line against tough bowling.

Where is he anyway? Did he return to the UK after retiring or is he still in Harare?

Great point.

So bloody disappointing, he would have absolutely been the difference.

Yes we qualify automatically and if I was one of those 3 I would do my best to be there. My very best. Ervine/Raza would be 41. Williams would be 40. I can't see it happening. Even if they wanted to, the end seems to come quickly for batsmen. What's to say in a year or two it just dries up for them...

I'm guessing this is the end of the road for Williams, Raza, and Ervine. I'm concerned that we may not make the next World Cup either, without the big three can one confidently say we are in the top 14 ODI sides? Ireland and Scotland aren't going anywhere, the Netherlands will likely have a steady ...

Yea a meaningless ODI series against Afghanistan doesn't really do it for me. It's a bit like that series against the UAE weeks after the CWCQ ended. It was a slap in the face that we won 4-0. I don't care about the mainglessness now. I'd rather us go away and play a test series. And how about an i...
