Re: Afghanistan Tour of Zimbabwe | December 9 - January 6 |

Lasagne was asking what's wrong with Bulawayo. He needs to ask the players after they have to spend Xmas there :lol: To answer your question- it's a longstanding feud between Matabeleland and Mashonaland. Stems from the Ndebele and the Shona but extends to the white folk. Amongst the whites it's le...

Great for the fans but I would imagine plenty of the players will be fuming about having to spend Christmas Day in Bulawayo!!
A question from an outsider who has never been there: what's wrong with Bulawayo?

Re: Zimbabwe vs gambia October 23rd 2024

Football is boring in my opinion :lol: I loved it when I was a kid but it’s a different game now, practically a none contact sport these days at the highest level. Can’t attempt to deny its popularity though. There’s enough stats in it; goals, assists, possession, heat maps and trackers for where t...

Re: Zimbabwe vs gambia October 23rd 2024

Football is the biggest sport in the world, your hatred is weird. Its not even a top 4 sport in America! But yeah, I don't see the big deal about football. Are the players skilled? Sure. But its absolutely boring as fuck to watch. Do you even take yourself seriously? Just because it's not top 4 in ...

Re: Has supporting Zimbabwe cricket stopped being fun?

They did improve last season to be fair; Union Hardware and Plascon adverts bringing in advertisement revenue and those dodgy 1990s style graphics for fours and sixes :lol: even slow motion replays they didn’t bother removing the sound from so you’d hear a deep, drawn out HHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWZ...

Re: Has supporting Zimbabwe cricket stopped being fun?

I live some thousands miles away, so I can't say about local support. I watch Zimbabwe squad international matches whenever it is available on the web. I'm disappointed that domestic leagues are on YouTube through one single camera which covers only the pitch. This discourages viewership: after a wh...

Re: Zimbabwe vs Ireland | Only Test | 25-29 July 2024

It’s decided on a case by case basis by transparent and unbiased criteria only known by me :lol: Honestly.... I had few doubts: ethics which vary case by case, on rainy or sunny days, is a fad as old as mankind. It's pretty common for most human beings to think they may be God-like and be entitled ...

Re: Zimbabwe vs Ireland | Only Test | 25-29 July 2024

An un sanctioned tapeball league without morals. Interesting: "tapeball leagues without morals"...... Truly UNPRECEDENTED and, indeed a funny argument....hahahahahahha. Just to complete the fun: are you (maybe) a qualified moral pundit who travels around the world to judge ethics in tapeball league...
