Ya 9th December that kicks off for them.

The sensible thing would have been to keep the status quo for Ireland certainly, ideally Sri Lanka too for minimal disruption but statements had to be made I guess.

Good luck to whoever has to turn things around in the next week hey. The senior players will not be happy with Rajput at all. The we’re ready to down tools over him last year.

One of the franchise coaches would be a better shout short term. Or Tino Mawoyo :lol: he talks a good game on comms.

I have two and a half questions
1. Is Frank Mawoza a real person? That Mukhalani logs into or feeds info too? Or is it a straight fake?
2. If it is fake, can someone please show me a clear photo of the persons face that is being used as the Zolsky account?
Search his name on Facebook and you will find what you are looking for. He is very real
A man with that name clearly exists, I believe he is Mukuhlani’s cousin.
But the account is used directly by Mukuhlani, I am convinced. Mukuhlani was using the name Frank Mawoza directly during the board battles a few years ago.

Uncle Frank is very real. Even if either of the two big bosses don't use his account directly, the fact that they are comfortable with him posting that stuff is wrong on every level. Firstly he posts before anything goes through an official channel, so even if it is Frank, he's privy to information that he shouldn't be and then posts it through an unofficial channel. It well and truly shows the disdain they have for administering this sport in a professional manner. It's an indirect way of saying "this is ours and we can do what we like, what are you going to do about it?"

There's no fixing this either. If you love Zim cricket, play it at club, franchise or international level you have to swallow this mafia type arrangement.

What a grave error with Dave Houghton. The only thing that would make this slightly more palatable is if he was made Cricket Director, which by the nauseating language used, is unlikely.

Believe me HM has the goods, if he's being well and truly ousted it's going to be costly. I would doubt it very much.
He's been playing a lot of cricket and pretty well. Maybe the new T20 captain?

If Ratskin is interim its many steps in reverse and I'd be gutted that Raza didn't veto him because believe me he has the power. Nobody is irreplaceable...except for Raza.

Just shoot from the hip, knee jerk, horrible reactions administered with a smug, because we can.

I can do digital identity checks from the photo if we want to verify the person. I’m not completely sure if that works for Africans but who knows.

If it is between Raza and Rajput then Raza will win. Remember, Williams is also anti Rajput.
I doubt there’s a reality where some currymuncher outsider who sits on his bum (ZC board pov) is favoured over the only two star players in the squad.

Raza will ensure Rajput isn't back and atm Raza is the key man, he is the star player, he is the captain. They won't go against him. Ffs we now only have 2026 T20 WCQ to look forward to in terms of ICC events and that will be sometime in 2025. That's a long way away. Team cannot look that much ahead, we have to focus on every series that we have from here on and ensure we win as many as possible.

What we have to see is realistically are Williams and Raza targeting 2027? If yes, then they will stick around no matter what.

I have a feeling Utseya Or someone similar will be appointed as an interim coach and if the results are good over the next 2 months against Ireland and Sri Lanka then that guy may be made permanent! That's how ZC works.

Utseya always came across as a bit of an anti-white to me. That's why I don't like him.

Mawoza was slagging off Andy flower a while back on his twitter feed. I don't think he will be coming back in any capacity.

Mad Frankie mawoza is a nobody whose jealousy of the murungu’s awesomeness is clear for everyone to see. The new way of thinking has had 20 years to prove itself and still relies on Williams and BT before him, it makes him so bitter inside he cries himself to sleep at night how the big bad murungu will be better than golden boy Wez for eternity. Young Tawanda did right running away from this train wreck, ZC would have ruined him, he’s got a chance in England at least.

The technical team is reportedly being axed as well. Kirby, Stuart and the fitness coaches all being cut.
