Re: Zim Govt Clears ZC

Conant, the odd thing about Kanengoni-Malinga's 'clearing' of ZC is that the words apparently attributed to her are exactly those supplied to us by ZC/Chingoka in response to our line of questioning. Word for word. I didn't want to say anything until our piece was published today, but how exactly is...

Re: cameron would reject call up

Having followed Anthony Ireland's progress at Middlesex I must dispute the idea that he would walk back into the Zimbabwe side. He's barely featured for his county, who are struggling in the second division, in the Championship and while he may move the ball in English conditions he's certainly not ...

Get hold of Jonty Winch's 'Cricket's Rich Heritage: A History of the Rhodesia and Zimbabwe National Sides' which will tell you all you need to know.

Re: Fat pay cheques for Zim cricket players

Also, compare it to what players from other countries are earning and it's really nothing special at all. Granted, in Zimbabwean terms it's a lot, but as bayhaus points out they're the most professional and successful sports team in Zimbabwe

Re: A Bangladeshi view (ZIM in BD, Dec 2010)

An insightful series preview from the Bangladesh angle, to be sure, and I've got to say I agree with you on most points

Re: The (cricinfo) Zim squad for Bangladesh

Cheers CrimsonAvenger, I try my best :) Traindriver, no tongue in cheek you genuinely sounded bitter and grumpy for who knows what reason. The problems with things like squads often stem from the press releases we are given to work with (see: the Brendan Taylor incident). There isn't much we can do ...

Re: Lara Becomes ZC 'Batting Consultant'

Also, what coaching qualifications does Lara have? With geniuses of his sort, it can often be very hard - if...
