I am not a religious person but if Taibu's faith provides him with inner peace and makes him a better person, husband and father then i say good luck to him.

Re: Taibu turns to God
he needs to make over 200 runs in the world cup group stages for me to be happy , he has way to much talent to being playing those gay sweep shots and trying to wollop the ball everyhwere , the guy is a natural stroke maker

Re: Taibu turns to God
Well I did a google search for "Eagle Eye Tabernacle" and nothing appeared on the first page and nothing on Wikipedia as well. Which probably means that this is a fairly new denomination. Anyway I will just go through the article and some of the comments.
That is good for him, if an "arm" causes you to sin "cut it off". But if you look at the article it says his faith "I am reading church ie Eagle Eye Tabernacle" does not allow them to watch TV. That sounds more like a cult. I wonder what their position is on the internet
Finally in defense of Tibba
I am assuming Tibba was "lost" before and has now come into the light. That means he is a babe in the faith and will start to understand more as he grows. One thing that will come is that if he is still playing cricket then he will do so to the best of his ability for God's Glory. Hence the Zimbabwe team will benefit by the new attitude towards his game and his achievements
Why have I gone to all this trouble cos I really like and respect Taibu the cricketer. My team always starts with Taibu, Price and Utseya! I feel he can achieve even more than he has cos he has the potential and the talent and he seems to be a natural leader. And I sincerely wish him the very best in his endeavor to find God.
There is nothing wrong with going on holiday, I hope this is not under instruction of Eagle Eye!Article - Also there are no more holidays for the family"
Hopefully by coming to Christ he will realize his potential and strive to reach his full potential.ZIMDOGGY wrote: But if thinks he has achieved all there is in cricket then he has set the bar too low.
At a very basic entry level, that is cool, but unfortunately it will not be a saving "enough". He will have to obey and worship in truthzimwon-olready wrote:Man as long as he believes in Jesus he is cool.

Good for Tatenda. If it makes him happy and is good for him then it is good for us.
A talented batsman but a modest, hardworking character, Stuart Matsikenyeri is the third of three school friends from Churchill Boys High School, Harare to represent Zimbabwe in international cricket. - Cricinfo.

Re: Taibu turns to God
GOD has certainly kept Zim cricket for a reason guys. Wonder who is winning the world cup this year.
Re: Taibu turns to God
For trying to save his soul i applaud him for that, but this whole "no tv" policy by the church i find it weird and sounds unethical in the sense that the church is now controlling and setting boundaries for its members. Basically thats how cults run, i think. Travelling every sunday to Gweru?? Jheez, i wonder how much fuel money he has to cough up and the distance too!

I certainly hope the Eagle Eye Tabernacle did say he HAD to retire...

Re: Taibu turns to God
What a waste... He could have done both. Vintage, taibu quits again. Right when he was playing well. he'll be back, trust me
