Zimbabwe vs Pakistan | 2nd t20 | 03 December 2024

[Googly]

Zolsky is firmly back in the saddle this morning attacking AC with gusto. There were about 5 times the number of good cricket grounds in the bad old days, but we'll let that and everything else slide, it's tiring.
But the Dominus Sport thing is interesting. Of course if you've got proof, which you should have or you're opening yourself up to slander, then get the money back surely?
If there is a problem there most roads will point to someone else. But you can't go after him because he'd sink the whole ship! a true no go area

here was a gem-

It’s only in Zimbabwe where a person is forgiven for stealing and people actually look the other way because his race. Colonialism did a number on us

I mean surely everyone had a chuckle at that. I choked on a biscuit! We live in a country where theft is a national pastime. We are runner up world champions.

Very occasionally he does come with facts, but he spoils it by the other stuff

I see Jonty had something to say about Tino Mawoyo. That was interesting as well.
Eeish this cricket is just a cesspit of politics and intrigue and shenanigans. Always has been, but just got a lot deeper last 30 years or so.

Fun fact, I rate Jonty even worse than Frank. Toxic cretin. Done a lot of damage over the years, and as racist as anyone.

We are fucked with all these people involved.

Who was the coach that played 27 people? Don't recall that?

Rajput used 24 guys across the SA-A, Namibia and Afghanistan tours in April, May and June of 2022. Some of the names too, where are those guys now

Closest I can find and not got the motivation to investigate any further.

Oh yes we absolutely are!

They call me racist daily, yet the real racists are themselves.

Its so stupid its funny. Imagine being a player reading X with Frank and Jonty spouting crap. Its sponsored by ZC because they take zero action against it.

Jonty did offer me a phone call with the Chairman to vent my views which I politely declined. Whether he could actually make that happen would have been interesting though.

What did Jonty do?

[ZIMDOGGY]

Have we discovered what The Main Thing is yet?

To be fair, of all the million criticisms of ZC, 'The main thing' is not one of them.

I read that as a corporate slogan of a core value with some background context to it we havent seen.

If I had to guess, it is a slogan that has been championed internally, meaning the main thing to focus on, is the top (main) teams performance.

As in everything we do at ZC, is with a goal of elite performance in the national team.

We need to face genuinely quick bowlers domestically, and good spinners that turn (as opposed to run restrict Price/Prosper style).

Having imports carefully selected with this in mind is what the brief was talking about.

Of course, you can lie with truth, and I have no doubt that there is a real possibility Mangongo was sidelined for all the reasons mentioned, and the main thing is the main thing being a smokescreen.

I just saw Jomtys X post.

Looks like he was baited hook, line and sinker. Took it completely serious.

Yes Dan you’re racist. I have no issues with you going for the ZC Board or Admin. I only have issues with you when you disproportionately target black batsmen.

1. They don’t pick themselves to play.

2. You see no good in black batsmen especially when pitted against you fav white boys. For example Kaia was injured and is back in the mix on return score 130 & 58 in his first game post injury. Averages more than Welch in FC and has a Test average of 44 but still not good enough in your world and Welch with lower figures still has to play.

3. All black players you speak well about we can see it through that it tokenism you don’t mean it. You just say it to mask your true colours.

It’s not a secret that I hate everyone on that ZC Board and the Admin. When you go for them ever seen me coming to their defence? It’s only when you unfairly target black people.

As long as you continue doing that honestly I give zero fucks, will take you to the cleaners. For me it’s an eye for two not an eye for an eye.

‘Fokof’ done a lot of damage over the years? Where? When?

I left Zimbabwe Cricket over 13years ago and was with them for only 4 years and during my time I did my job well. All payers will tell you I stood up for them to get what they deserved. During my time at Eagles for the 4 years I was with them no one was owed any cent we even had development contracts where guys who never played but helped with practice earned a decent salary some of them went on to play FC when I left (the likes of Munyede, Jakiel, Sande etc)

About the Tino Mawoyo issue, boy is a . Would leak information to Ozias about everything players planned. If only could post images here would post confessions from Ozias where he apologised for getting me illegally detained and spending time in jail.

Selection is always political. Tino Mawoyo was nowhere near playing national team cricket. Was told by OB in his face and I was next to him that he didn’t deserve to be in the test squad but OB intervened and instructed selectors to pick him (fair play to him, took his chance and scored runs but didn’t last long). Anyone go and tell Mawoyo to challenge this and I will dress him down revel shit that he thinks no one knows.

If anyone is going to come for the black boys as if they select themselves to play I will have a problem with you. It’s not like they pay to be picked like ……. Who will kiss goodbye to National selection this Saturday.

One thing I can tell you for sure is that there is no quota thing at ZC. A lot of guys playing now their days are numbered you favs who are not playing will be getting a chance soon trust me and they will get a longer run to prove themselves.

The coach is new and after this Afghan series wait and see the changes that are coming you will be shocked. Yes Mutendera is a selector but wings were clipped Coach has more say on squad composition. Just that at the moment he is still assessing players and dealing with what he is given.

Rant over
