So now we have Andrew Hall, Allan Donald, Jason Gillespie, Heath Streak all coaching different teams. Some bowling talent there, hope it rubs off

Re: Allan Donald to Coach Mountaineers!
Absolutely outrageous. Zim cricket has never been close to this wealth of experience before. The turnaround in the last 18 months has been almost unbelievable to be honest. Let's just hope that the steady onfield progress is maintained. Also, with so many genuine steps forward, there will inevitably be a couple in the wrong direction in the coming months. We must stay patient when this happens and remember the bigger picture, which is one of an almost complete turnaround in fortunes from 2 years ago...Boundary wrote:http://www.cricinfo.com/southafrica/con ... 72149.html

Try the other definition, Zimdoggy: "Greatly exceeding the bounds of reason or moderation". The way the franchises have been signing foreign names certainly counts as that...
