Taylor unhappy with cuts in coaching staff

[bayhaus]

No black players will speak up as they know they will suffer the same consequences as the white players, perhaps even worse. At least the white players probably have other career options overseas, many of the black players outside of Vusi and Hamilton, not so much.

Since Tibba didnt get repramanded for his sagas or did he? Don't remember hearing anything.

Well, he was hounded out, threatened (by one of the characters who^s currently in the headlines, if I rememeber correctly), threatened with arrest, etc. during the second player revolt of 2005-2006...to the point where he quit.

Then there've been a few other incidents where he's been slapped on the wrist when he stepped out of line that I can recall.

Ousted because of kit controversy in 2009:

Ten match ban in 2009:

The recent incidents where he had something to say about pay before a test series...I don't know what came of that.

That being said: Taibu, like him or not, is a pretty chirpy individual (wicketkeeper!)...a lot more than most other players. Not sure if any of the others would stick out their necks to the point that he has...

Nice to see you so happy about this hhm, my but you're a sad man

Sack all the whites, kick them out, players, coaches, administrators, overseas players, who needs them ?

Three cheers for good old HHMugabe and goodbye to international cricket for Zimbabwe

[jimbo]

getting taylor fired will only be counter-productive for zim. the administrators are shooting themselves in the foot. hiding behind the veile of racism when its only self interest that mangongo and makoni are interested in

[Boundary]

Sad, this world. Apparently disagreement is now tantamount to revolution.

[ZIMDOGGY]

A world without Taylor in zimbabwean colours is a world not worth living in

[Jemisi]

I don't think the situation now will be a repeat of the terrible years. The political situation has shifted significantly since Chimurenga III. Unless Chim IV is worse this year (and that is still a chance) I don't see the same cleanout occuring. Though some ugly wishes of that nature appear on ZCF regularly these days, I think that some way forward will be found. At least that is what I hope & pray will occur.

The ugliest part of Bvute's rule was not just allowed by Zanu at the time, but actively encouraged and facilitated. Demanded even. That time has passed and even with a resurgent push from some of that mentality, I don't think they will achieve the same results.

Very much aware of the past offences which all happened before the trade-off. I meant that incident when he came up and spoke on the eve of the test and the public spat he had with AC after which AC had promised to get a Players Association up and running. Taylor will most likely get away with this cos he can site Tibbas issue IF tibba was not disciplined.

[foreignfield]

Tibba's decision to quit the sport does not look so ill-timed now

I hope Jemisi is right though.

[bayhaus]

And many Zimbabwe cricket fans will turn there back because our national side will become a greater laughing stock!
