They’ve been doing it for twenty years.

Except now with the App and with live streaming it’s just more obvious.

Nothing will happen. Our director of cricket literally plays for them and our managing director is their president :lol:
No wonder Gladiators were the same team to lose the final two games to hand taka the title. I'm just trolling at this point but again, never say never. :lol:

My post was directed more at Takashinga but yeah any team who accepts the bribe or follows the order is just as complicit. Although they don’t really have much of a choice considering ZC and Takashinga are basically the same organisation.

The umpires are all in on it too.

Used to happen massively in the Vigne Cup although I had hoped we were over it and things have been better recently.

Easy way to pump some money into your assests without doing the shenanigans in the background I'd say, rather do it on a live telecast itself. All clean cashflow. :lol:

Did anyone catch Madande's 96(47) in the chase? How good was it?

Why would anyone want to financially throw a vigne cup game?

Nothing to do with money.
Kudos.

They’ve delayed the remaining matches until next weekend instead. Apparently because some building work at HSC isn’t finished on time

:lol: that’s the ZC we all know and love. Was uncharacteristically professional during the t10 tournament.

They did a press conference with the 4 captains today ahead of the playoffs. One of the journos put it to Uprising that 'your star players like Ervine and Burl' only turn up when they 'feel like it' and dont bother playing most of the time compared to the other national players.

Played with a straight bat by captain Jongwe.
