And who is Patrick Gada? Isn't he a UK based ex cricketer? Older guy?
Whats the issue between them?
Yeah, UK based - doubt it's safe for him to even come back. He made a lot of very nasty enemies after the WCQ debacle and the ensuing board fallout, suspension, elections etc. He had a giant whatsapp group on the go and was the anti-Makoni/Mukuhlani campaign ringleader. Tried really hard to change things and bring the board down. He's also been really vocal on anti-Zanu politics stuff generally over many years online. Think he's been silenced now, or just given up.
Tried hard to wipe that whole 2018-2019 period from my memory lol. The board and management right now are a shower of incompetent, thieving racists of course......But at least things aren't as toxic as that period and everything is kinda calm.
Think we should cut the team some slack given its the first SL tour for several key players. Take out Chatara and Im pretty confident Zim can chase some big scores against us
I reckon nick welch will give it a crack at some stage. He was at HSC recently watching his little brother score some runs and he's clearly very patriotic.
If we can get Bawa, Welch, Evans maybe Ben Curran and Byrom (long shot) in the next 3 years, we have a chance of sustainability.
If I was ZC this is how I would play it.

Ngarava is over rated. Doesn't think. Why the fuck does he keep bowling short????
I agree on dropping Madhevere as well. Shumba is hungry like a lion. Madhevere has put on weight, has a million dollar hair do and thinks he's an incumbent.
jeez, it was his first game here in Sl and batted and fielded pretty decently. Didnt bowl too well but still
I'm not a sadist but I admit I'm a bit upset over Ireland getting 20 points against WI and sitting 3rd in WSL.
I don't want Zimbabwe to finish last even if there are no consequences. Just doesn't look good. I won't mind Afghans sweeping the Dutch, which looks likely anyways, so that Netherlands are at risk of finishing 13th.
A team which produced the likes of Viv Richards, Lara, Marshall, Holding, Lloyd are now losing to Ireland. Can you believe how the WI have fallen guys. This is just hard to watch as a cricket fan.

Players you mentioned were the ambassadors of longer format cricket, all these legends had huge demands and have played lots of league cricket in English County & Australia,but had never given leagues a priority over international cricket throughout their career. But their modern stars like Gayle, Pollard, Russell, Bravo, Narine has'nt taken international cricket seriously as a result youths idolising them following their paths thats hurting West Indies Cricket
West Indies mentality is very much simple. Who will field 50 overs ? Who will field for 5 days ? if you get what you deserve by playing only four overs
but I admit I'm a bit upset over Ireland getting 20 points against WI and sitting 3rd in WSL.
