I am pretty sure Makoni was on here at one point arguing with us.


FlashG?


My theory is that flash_g was Makoni. Makoni does have a track record of arguing with fans on social media.

Maybe Diplock is not good enough😎😂

Diplock has been blacklisted most definitely, whether he realises it or not. The father of another somewhat prominent young white cricketer is probably mixed up in it somehow, he seems to be able to stop certain people getting selected in age-group cricket. One needs to find allies in ZC, if you don't you won't play.

Intriguing rumours--following Zim cricket sometimes feels like watching a soap opera. I guess the fact that the cricketing community as a whole and the white community are both very small makes it really uncomfortable for people when things get personal.
so you mean all the other avenues for Diplock has been blocked or its just ZCF propaganda

There’s plenty of guys that aren’t good enough that have been playing FC for years 😂

Give him a season, nothing better than watching a guy with a point to prove and some ability.
:D

Is he even better though because if james bruce just pops from Uni and have a game what's stopping him

Mind you Taibu snubbed him twice for the Stars.

But unknowns like Jha and Trenowerth were picked.. If he was good enough he would've have got a run by now even in this mess of a system

I don’t know Jha?

Ya I’ve heard about Trenoweth on this forum, did he ever play here though? I’d like to have seen him play.

I’m not sure about getting guys with a passport who’ve barely set foot here though, unless theyre of the caliber of Cartwright or de Grandhomme.

I’ve watched a bit of FC and Diplock definitely deserves a few games, he’s played club for a few seasons and has good figures, in fact better than some guys who are playing FC, so what else does he need to do? He’s good with the new ball and can bat a bit. Bruce popping in to play when he’s free and a guy like Diplock doing the time and not even getting one start smacks of a problem.

I don’t think we’re missing out on a guy that can open for our national side, but he’s a good test for any batter when it’s hooping, he’s decent.

Nah Brandon WAS picked in age groups cricket. He’s having issues in seniors, unless you count stars as age group cricket.
