Did we get rid of Elton too early?

True. I guess the biggest issue we had with him is that he didn't seem to care at all in the end. Very sad ending. I think BT was getting to that point but he changed environment for 3 years to get that hunger back. That clique of Elton Hami BT Vusi and Prosper played a huge amount of games for us. I guess they just got tired.

It's a real shame because if we do qualify we need an all rounder who is a fast bowler in England to balance what I would assume would be an 8-3 against better opponents. Hopefully somebody steps up. I personally think if Mire isn't bowling and playing like the way he is now then Chamu could be a better option than him in those conditions. He gets a lot of movement and now we have seen that he basically bowls around the same pace as Jarvis. Maybe even Jongwe. Would have preferred the old Elton but I guess that pig farm of his plus 200 ODI match fees and t20 leagues made him too successful to care.

if I have to be honest, to me he is part of that losing culture that bugged zim for a few years.

Head down, lethargic, too used to losing, wait for the pay cheque at the end of the month.

The prosper boat.

can I prove it? no. i Just felt he was part of that vibe.

The current team are showing some fight at times.

Yeah nah unless he really stakes a claim in domestic cricket which he doesn't seem interested in doing

He'd be the perfect No.7 we need but he just ain't doing it no more
