"Racist Rhodie hiding behind a ghost account, wake up and smell the coffee old man. Black people are human beings too, we are not monkeys."

It went downhill fast. Getting old is better than the alternative, surely? Its quite weird because black folk generally respect age.

Ghost account when they clearly run a few themselves and they don't need to, they can say and do as they please with no repercussions.

The accusation is about racism AND shite selections in general, takashingaism, tribalism and favoritism and corruption, nothing to do with monkeys. Really not sure why that was thrown in. But they're stuck on the racist part because that one has traction in about 1% of the population, the rest doesn't.

Anyway Frank is badly triggered. There's 3 tough series coming up. Unless ZC have really big medicine they're going to need a few more placatory podcasts.

I can get it started- its a young team and we're in the re- building phase.

Lots of stats on the early part of AC's career and Strang's. They're digging deep. That was decades ago. I wonder if there was a meeting about this? I suspect so. Do you think they read Frank's posts and thought jeez I couldn't have said that better myself ๐Ÿ˜‚

These folk are leading us to cricketing oblivion. 3 years to go. The doomsday clock has commenced.

๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐Ÿ˜‚ The accusations that Danielsson is AC are hilarious. Zimdan has been posting here on ZCF since 2007 - look at his old posts, clearly not AC.

The worst ZC ghost account is that Gafadagea thing.

Hilarious because their off the cuff replies are often in barely comprehensible English. But then occasionally they'll post something - or a whole thread of many replies - in perfect media-speak - clearly some sort of official statement written by the ZC media manager. ๐Ÿ˜‚

The funny thing is that a lot of the pondlife zimbabweans found on X can't actually see through it.

Ya that's why there's something else going on behind the scenes and they're just using this as an opportunity to be ugly. It will come out what's been going on, it usually does.

I have an inkling already. Not hard to join some dots....

Ya I read some posts and just wonder where they get their vitriol from. We need that Maori Bill, we want to be equal now, enuf time has passed.

Let's bring up selection of A Campbell and B strang some 25 years ago to show why they are putting up with mediocrity ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜…

Dig any deeper these guys might find some Iron age pottery from the Bantu tribe. It's sad now.

Aah no, let it play out. It's really ugly what's going on here.

Just going back to AC's early career. Those are interesting stats. They certainly gave him a long rope, he must have been close to being discarded.

Its the same old story though-

If the guys in ZC rightly or wrongly believe some guys were given unfair opportunities over others and they still want to rub whites noses in that after 30 years that's some deep deep s**t that requires counselling.

They most certainly wouldn't have been angry on behalf of any white guys in those days that felt they had deserved selection and had no opportunities and there were a few of them as well. There weren't just 10 good white cricketers in those days.

There have always been white folk that have championed the black cause, Bill Flower perhaps having been the most notable one. In the last 30 years let a black guy who's stuck up for a white, not just in cricket, but in anything, put their hand up. Anybody?

This vitriol from Mawoza is a smokescreen. Nobody likes ZC, including most of the black players.

Whilst we know they're there to stay that doesn't mean they get everybody's blessing though. Let them continue to get pasted on social media. There will be plenty more ammunition soon enough.

What is sad about Frank is that i doubt he's ever had a negative experience , just singing for a cheap supper.

Mawoza comparing welch sr batting average with Akram batting average ๐Ÿ˜‚ And that fellow doesn't cared to see his bowling average of 119.50 ๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐Ÿ˜‚

2 wickets from 9 T20i and 4 wickets from 16 T20s :ugeek:

Its odd for someone to think they can own a public entity let alone stay there forever. Its all a matter of time till you are on the other side of the fence. I reckon the thing about the new generation is that they dont give two twaats about race mainly because there arent that many different colour folks around. Maybe a couple of Chinese though. Only a handful of folks still carry this around and waive in your face like its suppose to mean something really. Zimbabwe has a really small pool of players to work with and sooner or later everyone will get their chance. We will get there at some point. And i dont reckon Zimbabwe Cricket will be in oblivion when we do. Especially so given the way the sport is growing. But for this Frank dude to actually hold a public post like that and rant as much as he does that should be criminal and not professional. ZC should put a leash on him.

Well there's a lot more of them than us, maybe double. They keep themselves to themselves and hide in their compounds mostly but then occasionally you see a load and you realise the takeover happening.

Can't wait for the first Zhang or Wang to play cricket for Zim ๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐Ÿ˜‚ As if ๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐Ÿ˜‚

Frankenfurter sees nothing wrong with attacking NW thinking he's proving a point about Faraz? ๐Ÿ˜‚

With that average and strike rate surely then open with Faraz? We would have qualified for every WC to date. How useless can they possibly be not to miss that?

If they don't open with him these T20's then I'm confused, he's been under our noses all this time.

For a ZC employee to be publicly gunning players like this is some low level stuff, even by their abysmal standards ๐Ÿ˜‚

Scraped a win here over Rwanda. Pitch is not great, and offers exaggerated spin.

Best performance was from Victor Chirwa who struck the ball very well in the power play. His record in franchise cricket has been very underwhelming so far, but he went well in the NPL as well. Seems to be head and shoulders above the other batters in this side... and that's probably his second skill.

Another takeaway from this game would be Nyamhuri's bowling. On this pitch, his extra pace is extremely valuable for the batters. But, he is very wild at the moment. Lot's of extras and unnecessary short balls. Seems a long way from the finished article at the moment.

It's strange because at the WC he was uber accurate.

Every game he plays, he seems to spray a 5 wides that barely hits the pitch.

He remains as exciting a seam prospect as there is, but has a lot of improving to do.
