I don't blame them. Why would anybody agree to live in a ZC-controlled rat-infested dormitory eating sadza and mealworm rations and get coached by wholly unserious 'coaches', where at least half of your fellow 'academy members' barely know how to hold a cricket bat, when you have the option to go and study and play in the UK in world class facilities and probably get a degree that gives you options for life.
What is sadza?
If you ate sadza in America you'd be peaceful.

We have it in America. We call it grits.

I’d take Zim over the UK any day to be quite honest. That place will be absolutely wrecked very shortly with all the self destructive policies they’ve got going in. Most miserable & pathetic bunch of people on the planet of all the places I’ve lived.

According to Mawoza, the academy will soon play franchises that will be on bye. The academy also consists of 40 players with an age range of 15 to 23.
That's a pretty good idea.
I wonder if franchises will be able to call up performing players in the academies.

Obviously a generalisation bud, but just extremely lazy & entitled because of the massive nanny state the government there has become. Why try hard at life when you can do drugs all day, pop kids out outside of marriage and just know you’re gonna make a living off that ? It’s stuffed and people there have zero clue what actually is hard in life. Life only kicks in for an max of 4 months a year, too. People are miserable generally due to this and the complete spiritual decline, too I might add. The culture is completely eroded & there is no identity there anymore. It’s been unsustainable for a while but will only get worse.

Companies have a blatantly quota based recruitment process :lol: percentages of BAME, disabled, LBGTQ+

The Royal Air Force, like literally the establishment, had a pause on recruiting white males only for a couple of years.

The jezzies with their three crotch goblins from three different dads, kayden, Jayden and okayden :lol: council house, one or more of the kids with adhd and on PIP or DLA :lol: universal credit. Make more a month in benefits than an honest guy working a minimum wage job and paying tax to fund their lifestyle.

Haha indeed, they deserve everything they get. Interesting watching Reform poll as number 1/2 on most polls nowadays. Conservatives there aren’t conservative in any way shape or form. People in the big cities are so shit scared to offend anyone at all that they’ll roll over to anyone. Not many real men there left. But as the quadrant goes, hard time breed strong men, strong men breed good times, good times breed weak men, and weak men breed hard times.

Proper shortage of any real men in the UK too, all of them live in rural areas. I’ve never felt more alpha than when I walk around the absolute joke London has become.

Those kinds of jezzies in Waltham Forest who make £2.7k a month in benefits, get their council tax paid for and still fall in arrears somehow :lol: then they offer a £25 repayment arrangement to clear it over years even though their supporting evidence show they have £900 a month disposable income and withdraw hundreds a week at the ATM,

Broken Britain indeed :lol:

These zimbos won’t get a game either, look how it panned out for Curran, melton or welch. Fringe player at best in white ball.
