I just don't it to be Streak. I hope beyond hope it isn't.
id say given Secrets response, that 95% just went up to 99.99

That wasnt the reaction of someone who heard different.

Googly left, I believe, because people called him out on his batshit corona theories. I loved hearing about what is going on on the ground though and he was great for that. He added a lot to the forum for me.

Googly speculates that they got the ICC involved as a threat/payback tactic for the court stuff, but it got out of control and out of hand and has grown to be a threat for them too.
ICC looked further down the rabbithole.
So did the ICC find something on ZC and now they are saying that Streak is the one at fault and pinning it on him?

His bat shit corona theories? So you think what’s going on in the world is still completely justified? Get a grip pal. He was hardly conspiratorial and a lot smarter than 99% of this forum. He’s badly missed.

Cmon Flakeman. Googly is a smart cricket guy and a missed member of the forum but we had doctors on this forum calling him out. Dont defend the undefendable.

I said he added a lot and encouraged the dogg to tell him to come back.

He spoke about medicines with very flimsy evidence behind them as being a cure. I don't believe that. I thought it was nonsense.

This is an important thread so I don't want to write about whether I think it is justified or not. I also don't think anyone gives a fuck.

Anyway, he’s missed and a really valuable asset to the forum and is spot on about a lot of issues. Whatever he said about this corona thing, the reaction to it has been abysmal and over reaching from govt and that’s not really up for debate.

Anyway, what could Streak have done? Why the hell is he getting nailed for something when Makoni et all have been robbing the coffers blind for over a decade, and everyone knows it. I have it on good authority that he earns 20k a month, and Hammy 10k. For doing what, exactly? Opening up a weekly automated email from the ICC once a week? These people are scum, gents.

Googly occaisionally made some valid points, even on COVID. Its very rare for any person be right or wrong all the time.

But since his absence, I'd estimate ZCF is seeing a 90% reduction in characters posted haha. That guy would write novels.

When and why did googly leave? I didn't notice he had been gone, but part of that is his posts are usually too long, rambling, and conspiratorial for my tastes unless I'm particularly interested in the topic at hand.
He got into some argument and then left although many of us asked him to stay back. Isn't it quite normal to have debates and arguments on sports forums?

Zim cricket forums are in fact a very decent place. I've been on other forums and the discussions are so stupid and rubbish. People also fight with each other like cats and dogs. 🤦‍♂️
