Its odd for someone to think they can own a public entity let alone stay there forever. Its all a matter of time till you are on the other side of the fence. I reckon the thing about the new generation is that they dont give two twaats about race mainly because there arent that many different colour folks around. Maybe a couple of Chinese though. Only a handful of folks still carry this around and waive in your face like its suppose to mean something really. Zimbabwe has a really small pool of players to work with and sooner or later everyone will get their chance. We will get there at some point. And i dont reckon Zimbabwe Cricket will be in oblivion when we do. Especially so given the way the sport is growing. But for this Frank dude to actually hold a public post like that and rant as much as he does that should be criminal and not professional. ZC should put a leash on him.

Well there's a lot more of them than us, maybe double. They keep themselves to themselves and hide in their compounds mostly but then occasionally you see a load and you realise the takeover happening.

Can't wait for the first Zhang or Wang to play cricket for Zim :lol: :lol: :lol: As if :lol: :lol:

Frankenfurter sees nothing wrong with attacking NW thinking he's proving a point about Faraz? :lol:
With that average and strike rate surely then open with Faraz? We would have qualified for every WC to date. How useless can they possibly be not to miss that?

If they don't open with him these T20's then I'm confused, he's been under our noses all this time.

For a ZC employee to be publicly gunning players like this is some low level stuff, even by their abysmal standards :lol:

Scraped a win here over Rwanda. Pitch is not great, and offers exaggerated spin.

Best performance was from Victor Chirwa who struck the ball very well in the power play. His record in franchise cricket has been very underwhelming so far, but he went well in the NPL as well. Seems to be head and shoulders above the other batters in this side... and that's probably his second skill.

Another takeaway from this game would be Nyamhuri's bowling. On this pitch, his extra pace is extremely valuable for the batters. But, he is very wild at the moment. Lot's of extras and unnecessary short balls. Seems a long way from the finished article at the moment.

It's strange because at the WC he was uber accurate.

Every game he plays, he seems to spray a 5 wides that barely hits the pitch.

He remains as exciting a seam prospect as there is, but has a lot of improving to do.
