He has gonbe VERY public and he is clearly angry and frustrated judging by most of his tweets.

Quick search on RikiWessels brings this or a look at his Profile

Just the type of people ZC does not like, people who are not afraid to speak their mind, I have asked this and have never really recieved an answer, are our players allowed to use social media even just socially?

Where is flashG indeed?

And then I ask as well what role do AC, GF, Streak play in all this are these guys paid to tow the line as part of their contract with ZC? Campbells animated spat with Tibba at the boundary seems to suggest which side he is on, certainly not the players, but the business side...

There was a thread a little while back about Vusi wanting to get out. I seem to remember that some thought it very close to happening. But he is still around, so who knows?

FFS.

Here we go again.

The last thing we need is the players not being paid and guys like Vusi wanting to leave.

Riki has always been a professional in his time here, now he has just had enough by the looks.


Also for those of you asking "wheres flashG?"

Well if i was Flash i would be hesitant coming back here.

I was quiet on the issue at the time but alot of people were very rude to him. He could have been a goldmine of info, but when he DID give information he was abused for 'breaching trust' (like id give a shit personally) or he wasnt giving us enough informtion. People here held him to account for things he wasnt involved in.

You should have just treated him as one of us, i got into him about his stupid spelling but thats different.

He was in a catch 22 at zim cricket forum.

He was a ZCF punching bag.

I still think he was a ZC employee though

Here is the Post about flashG

Spent the afternoon going through the post in between work, and had this been recent I was so tempted to do a character analysis of flashG based on certain words which he spelt wrong, which would disprove some of the facts.

Anyway reading it again I think he brought most of it on himself, he reminded me of the guy who if he was bowled out would sulk and take his bat, leaving us with no bat hence no game. I also got the impression that he needed peeps to grovel at his feet to give up information. I also think that to have made his conclusion based on the one topic was a bit naive he should have gone through the topics to see the kinds of debates that happen hear, ever checked out the forum on Newzimbabwe.com! It is the worst and I got myself out of there in a hurry! real mean and horrible stuff, no holds barred! Thats just my opinion.
