What do YOU want from the new coach?

Opening post

Scattered throughout this forum, there are many opinions on the coaching situation.

Hopefully this centralises our thoughts for a bit.

Today i have no time for an essay, but the shortened version is I want a coach that can influence, foster and emphasise a winning mentality. We tend to buckle at times we should have the foot on the throat. If we won the ones we just missed, we would have had an adequate record under Rajput. But we didnt, and mistakes were oft repeated.

I also think we should have two foreign coaches and one local. Someone who's been gone since forever like Andy or Strang is 'foreign' for this definition.

Without naming names, I'd like to see this mould:

Head coach:

Foreign, proven record of lifting a dud side psychologically

Bowling coach:

Someone who was technically brilliant themselves with the ball with good experience.

Batting coach:

Im particular about this one.

Foreign (very important as Zim based batting coaches are overly classical) someone who had played the modern game and retired less than ten years and was a multi format success internationally. I'm not overly focused on experience here. Just a gun player who knows how it is out there and eager to make a name for himself.

ZC should contact me since i have head hunting experience!

Matsi & Hondo has been Zero. Due to race card balance, cricket in africa is getting damaged. Skin colour rules over talents, and associate european countries taking huge advantage from it. Race card took away money & talents from Zim.

Namibia cricket team seems away from this race card but once they will rise it will definately come into effect.


For starters, race is nowhere near as much of an issue in Namibian society as SA or Zim....

Where does race even come into this discussion?! Why are you bringing that up even wtf. As for 'associate European countries' taking 'huge advantage' of Zimbabwean race issues, I can only think of the Netherlands - I can think of only one white Zimbabwean player playing for a European Associate - Snater. I don't think theres many/any African players playing for any other 'European associate'. Most of the associate players in Europe are your kind, aren't they? Maybe you can point out all of the European associates taking 'huge advantage' from Zimbabwean race issues, please? Please do enlighten us with your secret knowledge.

Also, we've had white coaches plenty of times in Zim in recent years and very likely to get another one (Houghton), and we've got a curry man at the moment. Most have been a bit s**t, regardless of their colour. We had Streak as coach and a team of 8 white players - probably your wet dream -, and still didn't achieve anything lol.

Race has played a massive part in Zimbabwean cricket (and Zimbabwe as a whole) and remains a hugely contentious point and important subject, but I have literally absolutely no idea how race is relevant to this discussion about Rajput being a catastrophic dickhead and us needing a replacement. Please stay on topic?

And why aren't you banned yet ugh. Still waiting!


That catastrophic dickhead Rajput made India World Champion in T20 in 2007. That Rajput coaching had a role in Afghanistan cricket in showing the world they deserved full membership.Its not the coach its f***ing skill less players and colour politics responsible for team's downfall. Rajput gave Zimbabwe enough performance which other coaches failed to produce, till Zim mentality in firing coaches instead of firing skill less players doesn't stop its hard for them to play any ICC Events

English domestic standard is high and South African players have huge role in it as talented ones left and started playing the game there, even few are now going for Irish Cricket. Few Zimbos are also there in county for their talents as they didn't got enough in Zim.You are big fool laundering here and asking for ban. You should have left the forum which you challenged earlier, why you reply if you don't understand the topic.? It was topic on Matsi that other member mentioned


Hey. You've already done this subject, several years ago. At least two, possibly three of your previous accounts already posted your thoughts in that thread.

viewtopic.php?f=3&t=14853&hilit=ground -

We heard you the first time, many years ago. Why don't you just go and post on an Ireland forum and you can cum over how white and pure they all are and how awful Zimbabwe are.

Meanwhile please can we keep this thread on the actual topic. Thanks.

Please don’t try this tactic.

Just accept you’re cooked as soon as BRMT logs on and move on.

Why do you care anyway? You don’t really love zim cricket. And this forum has like 6 visitors a day. Troll a bigger cricket forum with your name joke and no spaces between words tactics. You’ll get more bang for your buck.

Boo Yah! Great investigative work.

Must have hit a nerve. He played the race card & the Trump fake news card in one post.

New Coach should bring young under 19 players like James Ives, Deaflock, Michael Lake, Kevin Bowie, Akhay Patel, Eqlakh, Wesley Snyder, Kevin Dollar, Liam Roche, John Colonaly

This really undermines your recent half arsed attempt to pretend to start posting serious Raj. Still posting in your sock accounts.

If anyone wasnt sure before now, you have just confirmed the reason why you should, and will be banned anyday now.

He is Irish. He used the language on page 6.

BTW, if you read the whole lot & then Jemisi comes in, after a week away, totally gobsmacked by the shitstorm that's eventuated. LOL!

jesus christ lol, how can one person have that much will to keep doing something like that
ZCF Hall of Famer
Lol I remember this thread.

It was clear he was clueless and was just googling ‘how to insult in English’ and came up with some jibber that no one actually uses.

And it was striking how blatant the multi accounting was.

Trainwtrck.

Again, terrible site moderating that we are still dealing with this space cadet 18 months later.

I'm rarely surprised at how vacuous some people's lives are.

Also, I believe we meet people in life & learn something. I've learnt from this person that just when I think my life sucks, this person comes along & makes me realise my life is great.

What the hell is happening here? Seriously mods need to look into this and clean up this place. 🤦‍♂️

Absolutely fine with anyone not liking Zimbabwe, genuine criticism is always welcome i would say, but simply trolling and posting absolute s**t is just not acceptable.

i encourage you all to slam the report button on any post he makes across his 50 accounts. Send a message and catch the mods eyes.

Otherwise he will just go silent when BRMT shows up again for his biannual visit.

Have reported about 50 posts and have sent PMs to BRMT. Fingers crossed whenever he next logs in he’ll finally deal with it.
