Not sure if this is John's but it's a good article with a short interview with Godwill Mamhiyo .....

John Ward said that ZC are hoping for a New Zealand tour in May and India in August. He would also be surprised if Taylor and Williams jump ship, as he thinks Campbell's presence will help retain players.

I asked Brad Wadlan on twitter and he said that it had been cancelled.

Can we ask John about what direction the bowling of Shingi and Tino Mutombodzi headed? Has he seen their bowling of late and why does he think they are struggling? How much of Shingi's development was due to the guidance he used to get from Streak and Brent?

Also, what has gone wrong with Wellington? His current season has been wretched, no big wicket hauls, and has become a pale shadow of himself. Second season blues or something more serious?

Further on Tino how good is his batting now? He is topping the Logan Cup charts atm does John think he can make it as a batsman?

Is John Ward still available for answering fans queries regarding Zimbabwe cricket ?

John Ward was instrumental in Zimbabwe Cricket Online & the question answer there. Great insight which is rare nowadays regarding Zim cricket.
