Zimbabwe vs Ireland one day and 20/20 series

Raz Dawg will play forever yo. He’ll retire from the national side after winning the 2027 World Cup then make a living on the franchise circuit. He’ll still be terrorising bowlers in the global t10 when he’s 70.

Saw a training video and looks like the lights have improved. Big screen in place as well. Lights seem to have improved a lot.

Are we going to have separate threads for each of the games or will continue discussing in this only ?

[secretzimbo]

Separate threads! Feel free to do the honors

Any broadcast deets yet?

[sam_ahm]

I can see that a lot of people are posting on X about lack of broadcasting details.

ZC being at their terrible best again. I doubt if they have any broadcaster in the first place.

We as fans should be thankful that the squad is known, else normally we would have got to know it some 30 mins before the game.

Tino hanging out the comm box window with his phone facebook live-ing it then yo.

Is there not like agreements and requirements full icc fixtures need broadcasting?

Guys what's up with this broadcasting thing? So I'm hearing that it is some Bangladesh production house, but why aren't they broadcasting this in Zimbabwe? If this is the case then how are young kids supposed to get inspiration without watching the games?

Is this problem only for this series, or has ZCB messed up big time, yet again?

[Pat_Bee]

I’d seen a post on social media saying ZC signed up for this broadcasting deal with the Bangladeshi’s in 2015 on an 8 year agreement, until now I suppose. Don’t recall it ever being a problem before though.

Hopefully they don’t renew with the same terms seems ludicrous neither country playing can watch it and the Bangladeshi’s are playing hardball over a bilateral that probably six people are interested in.

Ya some Bangladeshi company owns all the rights, they have done for years. Ultimately that company then sells it on to individual broadcasters in different countries - but if no one is willing to pay up then so be it I guess.

Googly did mention in the match thread that todays game was on ZTV.

Although I doubt many young kids watch ZTV anyway Surely the worst national broadcaster on the face on the Earth.
