Opening post

There is one thing that i love about being Zimbabwean its being tolerant and forgiving. We have our faults and but not giving a person a second chance is not what makes a Zimbo Zimbabwean. Case and point our country was born out of patience and tolerance and we live in a peacefuland forgiving nation despite the huge potholes that we have driven into in terms of Land, Energy, Politics the Economy we have a country that is willing to forgive. For me taking away cricket from Mark if i were in his shoes would push me to suicide not to hit leather or chug into bowl at the crease. Zimbabwe is indeed at a loss at what he could pass on as senior veteran and though imposible a batting coach at national level. The case in the debate that we as a club was what if it were a black man would the white population be so forgiving well im not sure but as a black man from my expirience we get away with being racist 99% of the time based on being the majority , when you are on the field you hear so much hatefull speech but its when you take it seriously thats when the problems start. Im just saying why not give him a chance to at least play club cricket again.

What Gagamel said.

Remember he is a mentally challenged individual who isnt too bright who has stated he loves the game so much he is happy to die out there.

During the rebel crisis, whether this was right or wrong, there was one white player that stood with the blacks if you remember.......

The hearing was held yesterday at ZC offices and from what i hear Rex was well represented by his club OH, OMS and received a lot of support from black players. The committee will give feed back before year end.
