Sacking Mangongo for having 5 whites in his squad also tells a story, he might have been given a pass if they weren't mostly winning. Don't believe the story he's going back to his original post as per plan. What was Matsi doing on the balcony when he's supposed to be in Mutare?
He's been reassigned. I'm guessing he'll be at all the Zim games and practices, meaning Tiripano is the new Mountaineers coach. No aspersions on The Don but that's a stretch. We await team selection.

He's absolutely in a position to call people out and instead he's smiling and waving. I'm not expecting him to wear a black armband and go into exile or anything but if you are able, you're supposed to leave the game in a better place. He's letting it crash and burn.
Hahaha Raza is already in exile isnt he. From Pakistan right. People forget easily but Raza has single handily carried for the past 2 years or soo. Imagine how fast you turn into a villain. I reckon the saddest part is letting who ever calls shorts on the team have their way. Him walking out of Zim Cricket will be something that ZC dont really want. Only if he could use that for the better. Well thats a bit difficult if you a on an A grade contract and a 15k returner

Completely forgot this series was on. Good to see we've made absolutely zero progress and are just holistic levels of shit. We got our 1 win at the start and that was it. Shut up shop.

I get we need to play big teams, but honestly, we struggle agaisnt the likes of Afghanistan, Ireland, UAE, Scotland...so what do people expect against the big sides.

TM has well and truly destroyed ZC. That's right Zolsky. I'm talking to you. Go cry on X about how some fan on here has had a go at you. Larry and Brian, you are complicit in this fall of ZC.

Well that was interesting!
I like the fact that he said the next bunch will get an extended shot. I'll believe that when I see it of course, sounds like bullshit to me. But there will most definitely be a next bunch. If he's not speaking with forked tongue they should be looking at at least 3 or 4 replacements in one hit. I just don't see that happening.

It's not our best squad, that's B/S as well. Even if you just consider that Williams wasn't there.

Who was the coach that played 27 people? Don't recall that?

Again Raza makes it about I need to do well. Look he's earned that right many many times over, but as I've stated that narrative really does well for him when he puts it all on his shoulders and he does come off.
He's not coming off against this team all by himself though. At this level you're a contributer, maybe the main one for sure, but he's not pulling off his customary superman against this calibre of opposition, it becomes a team game.

The fans vent on the players, that's natural unfortunately. They should be venting about the broken system and administration. Harare games should be a sombre and silent black tie event to let these guys know we're tired.

One song- not Cremora. ... it's must now be No Mora!

They could lay siege to the VIP box where the hierarchy and selectors have to defend themselves with broken bottles of Green Label :lol:
Is there a fire escape? :lol:
