Do you think it’s a foregone conclusion that the suspension will be lifted?
I’m fairly certain that there must have been ongoing discussions between ZC and SRC which are now not being leaked. Unless I’ve missed something SRC made ZC agree to that oversight committee which they will have fought against tooth and nail.
Our outstanding debt to Metbank of plus minus $20m legally must be repaid in local currency. The rate is 20:1 give or take. $1m squashes it and frees up $19 million usd over the next 4 years. It’s a no brainer.
Why does the current ZC not use those tactics if it was “legacy” debt?
We’re about to get a new currency and God knows what rate these zanu thieves are going to attempt to peg it at.
The time to act is now if of course ZC are acting in our interests and not Metbank’s 😂

SRC should be making noise about this. Their silence is ominously like they have capitulated or lost interest.
With our new electricity tariffs, unless people are earning foreign currency, and they’re not allowed to, the average household can afford only a few days of electricity a month, and don’t forget that’s at night between 10.30pm and 4am because there is no electricity offered in most areas at other times. The fuel hikes mean even a tank of fuel is now beyond the reach of a lot of people. Zimbabwe has literally ground to a halt.

Let’s me reiterate- legally loans cannot be repaid in foreign currency. The time to squash that debt at a fraction of the cost is now. If ZC don’t act now then there’s proof (as if we needed it) that they act in their own interests.

Encore- how’s your Proteas team doing in India? 😂
Are you going to deny you had a hand in it or do you only select the good players?

What I do know is that FTP is solid and can only be cancelled by mutual consent.. what we will probably see is less tests but more ODIs or T20s since there is supposed to be an extra T20 world cup as you can change the format played again by mutual consent.
I also agree that test cricket should just be left to the very best players. No developmemt programme needed there. I am also pretty sure that our best players are more suited to the longer format than the short stuff. We also have an advantage of having multiple part timers who can be dangerous on a spinning track like we saw last year in the first Bangladesh test. We need to prepare the same kind of wicket against the west indies when they eventually pitch up.

Time to get back to business. If Mukuhlani was shrewd and really wanted to consolidate power he would bring back a Flower brother to make people forget the pain of the last couple of months. The money is there. Be smart for once
After the way Mukuhlani treated Streak I doubt either of the Flower brothers would want to work under him, Muku through Streak under bus after the qualifiers by sacking him then accusing him of being a racist.
I'm happy the suspension is lifted as I've given up now on the hope of a bright future ahead which I know can't be achieved under this regime, now I just look forward to hopefully seeing a few of my favourite players make some big scores before they retire. I also hope to see Zimbabwe play a few more Tests with the current player group, watching Zimbabwe play Test cricket is still my favourite cricket to watch.
Money talks accompanied with a long term contract. This is why Rajput is here to stay. I think he signed a 3 year deal. We dont have a financial issue when it comes to salaries because the ICC is signing off on them and drip feeding the cash. You think Grant Flower would turn down a 15kusd a month contract and rather sit at home? We barely play any games. Its basically free money for 6 months.
We have seen the board burn the same guys over and over again and they always come back. AC is a good example. Sean Bell's email is another. Dont be surprised to see Streak back in the future. The reality is the money in cricket in Zimbabwe is really good if you look at the amount of work you have to put in to get it compared to other occupations. BT and Jarvis had to play 40 to 50 games a year to earn their keep in the UK
Taibu even applied to be Sri Lanka's fielding coach recently. They all need money in the end. They need to survive just like everybody else
