Mongongo just seems...thick. Some pretty standard answers there, nothing too insightful.

Meanwhile Grant Flower is there working tirelessly in the nets. Was hoping to catch a glimpse of Welch there :D Still really pleasing to see Mark Vermuelan knocking about. A very thin connection to the glory days of Cricket in Zimbabwe.

At least Mangongo is an upfront kind of guy. ZC is full of snakes in the grass. Mangongo just says what he is really thinking so at least you know where you stand with him.

But what is Dirk Vijoen talking about here? It can almost imply that the players were slacking off or enjoying an extended holiday while the impasse was at its height. It would not be true in most cases, as they would have taken to their backyards or whatever facility to keep themselves fit to whatever extent they can. How many of them could even afford to travel to attend that "individual training" that is being talked about here? Fitness is one thing, but match fitness is another. They obviously lacked the latter, for which the ZC is more responsible than the players for sure. For once, they were all united!

I think Viljoen is one of the snakes in the grass. Remember he was one of the Dominus guys.

I actually haven't heard AC's name mentioned in a VERY long time. Does anybody know if he's still in the mix ? Or has he shot off somewhere now the money has gone
