Who'd have thought that umpiring would have been a better career option from the get go.

There's been a lot going on in social media about these regionals and selections.

This was an interesting reply from Tarisai Chaminuka to Danielsson's post about Blessing being our most reliable seamer-
Even when virtue signaling about black players we have a disclaimer.Then Rhodie's wonder why no single black player rebels against ZC.Its a rock and a hard place kind of situation.Poor treatment from ZC or someone who thinks you should not even be there.

I had a double take, well written, but wrong nonetheless, and damned annoying and worthy of a response.

Was the implication that black players didn't support the coup because they thought ZC were the lesser of the two evils? Maybe I read too much into that.
So a white guy can't say a black guy is a good player because he's virtue signaling and branded a Rhodie?
I'm assuming a Rhodie is a guy who hankers about the past AND thinks the whites don't want the blacks to have equal opportunity.

What would he call a Zimbabwean that clearly thinks whites shouldn't be given equal opportunity in any aspect of society, let alone cricket? A Zimby?
As a community, albeit now a tiny one, we've kept our heads above water only just, and we lose ground every day, but we're hanging in...just. It must be vexing that we seem to do well against all odds.
We've been discriminated against for decades.The fundamental difference is we used to create wealth and not take. Now we just survive.

You could of course rebel against poor treatment by ZC all by yourselves, you don't need the whites to help you. You wouldn't know where to start because they're miles ahead of you.

Despite years of indoctrination to the contrary the whites just want equal opportunity, those that can afford it now buy it, but the rest of us want it to be merit based and it's a pipe dream.
What we're waiting for is for you to build something we can all be proud of, instead of taking, and in most instances messing it up. C'mon lads it's time to stop blaming as a smokescreen and to start building, it's been 40 years. Let us put one hand on the steering wheel, we know how to get things done and we only steal small amounts.

Googly do you work as a journalist for Zimcricketforums??

The only guys who seem to be getting starts in franchise are Makoni and Nyamhuri.

Nope, this is the younger Makoni. Been nowhere near a franchise squad, quite rightly. He’s turned 21 but as recently as a few months ago was still somehow playing schools cricket (and doing poorly). Less than half as talented as Tanunurwa.

I guess there are no links to scores

50 over matches. Zimbabwe bowled out for 188

He lives with one eye over his shoulder looking out for the ZC goons

Sound guy by all accounts. Doesn’t mind equal opportunities when it comes to the scores of shona women on his WhatsApp dotted around Salisbury. Favourably rates old smiff dawg, perturbed he sacked off Queen Elizabeth though, Westminster was enough

Knows blacks like Wes getting 6 billion chances whilst blacks like Munyonga get 20 chances is exactly what old smiff dawg was alluding to when he said there wouldn’t be black majority rule in 1000 years.
