Good new days, bud.

love when this forum talks in riddles and everyone else has to play the guessing game... :roll:

Either that or there is a joke I am missing for which I will blame lack of sleep

He said like the good old days and I said good new days😂

No inside jokes at all. The old days were decent for results but there was disunity. We don’t want that. We want to all be singing off the same hymn sheet. It may not happen but it’s worth a shot. These guys will stir the racial pot for as long as it has any traction, but I’m confident they’re in the minority. People buy the Herald to read the Births and Deaths notices and for the gazetted notices, everyone knows they’re not impartial. The standard of journalism is diabolical here, gutter journalism in fact. He’s a well known reporter, but everyone knows what he’s about and he has a very small following. If this really goes ahead and DEB’s crew do manage to get hold of the reins you’ll see people retorting to these continuous inflammatory statements.

People are afraid is all, but there are a lot of people with an axe to grind with them.

The real problem is that everyone will be watching what happens going forward with eagle eyes and people will jump on every decision or appointment and try and construe it as some sort of racial thing wherever they can. At the end of the day it’s not hard to administrate better than the previous guys, you’ve just got to have a regular supply of cricket balls and pay people occasionally, so they shouldnt have much to say in that regard, but they will find something, trust me. 😂

The contentious issues will be possible changes in coaching staff, whether Campbell, Streak, Taibu and co become part of the picture again, and of course the national side’s composition and whether they start performing better. Also how many franchises are decided upon, the size of these squads, their coaches etc. There’s lots that can provide grist for the mill, Hogg and Co have an unenviable task ahead. There will be pressure for instant results, that’s for certain. Sibanda will be a harsh and ready critic, which is not a bad thing.

There’s so much emotion around this. Not so much from the whites, because there genuinely aren’t that many people around or interested. There’s animosity by these guys for a non existent enemy. This whole white colonial elitist thing is what they’re trying to keep going in people’s minds. I don’t believe it exists, it’s squashed flat a long time ago. There’s a new generation of players and people. This anti white thing has to end, we’re all in this together. I’m not cheerleading, it has to happen, but it’s also a two way street. I hope the new mob are ruthless about this. We just need to move forward, I hope it’s not too late.

There’s actually one vocal guy wanting us to lose our status rather than have a new board. That’s the level of venom we’re dealing with. Anyway let’s hope good sense prevails.

Frank Mawosa no doubt. What an absolute parasite he is. I messaged the guy on Facebook and his responses were just pure hate and racism, blaming Kirsty Coventry of bringing in her ‘white army.’ He said the new board is not a true representation of the demographics of Zimbabwe.

Sibanda’s tweet-

By saving cricket do you mean taking us back to Rhodesia?

This is from The Herald’s main sports journalist!

That’s where these guys are at. I’m almost certain it’s lost traction.

Being representative of the demographics of the country is lame. Whites are 0.001% of the population, and Indians are about the same. Women are 50%.

That would mean in an all black team if one player dyed his hair white the “whites” would be over represented.

We’re all Zimbabweans, why are we third class citizens?

If he had his way they would mean there wouldn’t be one sport like water polo, polo (horses), shooting, swimming, bowls etc that could have a single white person. Incidentally those sports work, but I know that’s just coincidence.

What the f**k have I just read? All those disgusting tweets! The audacity these scumbags have in insulting men like DEB, Hogg etc, claiming it is all a big conspiracy to return to the Rhodesia day’s?! Ugh! What absolute uneducated pigs! I actually can’t believe they are blaming the recent events and the SRC for the poor results of the national side. Are these idiots being paid to write this nonsense or do they actually believe their own horse s**t remarks ?

Haha. I’m not sure. When you verbalize it there doesn’t seem to be a good reason. When you get a bit older you’re averse to change. Plus I’m quite pig headed. I kinda want to see this through. This part may ring in deaf ears because the black guys will claim to have had roots here from time immemorial (not true in a lot of cases as people flooded in here from the surrounds when this country developed), but my family rolled in here on the first pioneer column. We’ve been here since 1890. I feel deeply about my shattered and broken country. That sounds like soppy bullshit, but it’s true. I have a deep and abiding dislike for people who think I don’t belong here as well.

I have a couple of businesses that make a few dollars and I march to my own tune. That means a lot to me.

Having said all that if I did spot a gap where I could live decently overseas I may consider it. Aus or NZ may be preferred over the UK, I have options in that regard. Those English winters make me want to hang myself.

First world rules and regulations are not easy either.

I know hundreds of ex Zimbos overseas yet they always come back here and hanker after better days so they can return. It’s a dilemma for sure.

Taps- how is Mukhulani helping them practice?

It’s not expensive to hold a practice. Unless he’s doing it personally then it means ZC have some money.

If there are people on $200 a month bond and can’t put food on the table and the chairman comes along and starts paying bus fare or whatever extraordinarily magnanimous amount to help people get to practice is it good or bad? I’d be mighty unhappy if I was the $200 bond guy!

This is the type of thing the interim board needs to respond to, because it’s this petty stuff that changes minds. This is a publicity stunt by ZC that’s costing them no more than $50 usd a week. His claim form will read $5000.

How are ZC paying their rental arrears?

The rent was in the budget and it’s been stolen so the $120k that is now the arrears ICC will never provide.

My point being where are they practicing?

ZC staff are used to going months with no pay. This has happened a hundred times, but now they’ve all downed tools for what? To help ZC’s cause?? DEB board needs a list of these guys and they need to join the ranks of the unemployed. Those guys not maintaining HSC would be the first on my list. It’s 10 minutes to put out sprinklers and turn the taps on. All the equipment is (was) top of the line stuff and it takes a couple of guys who aren’t doing anything anyway. It’s time to be tough on these simple minded fellows.

The interim board need to start responding to each and every one of these stupid things. Enough of these thieving clowns.

They WERE being paid 😂 and getting many other little perks. Don’t forget you can get someone to put an axe in the back of someone’s head for a T shirt and a scud. 😂 Netball is still corrupt, they can go make noise there.

The gravy train is hopefully about to derail. They should have kept a foot in both camps like the other smart guys 😂

They’re going to be singing “we need to let bygones be bygones for the good of cricket” very soon. 😂

If some of them don’t get a decent severance they will be border- jumping and you’ll see them as car park attendants in Rose Bank Mall in Joburgh because they’re unemployable. The foot soldiers are always expendable, remember that next time, gentlemen! 😂

I’m all in favour of just getting on with it, when you lower yourself to the same level it f**ks with your own karma and universal energy and all that good s**t, but I do hope there are people out there that are not as magnanimous.

I want Tatenda to read Exodus 21. 23-25 and come out swinging and eye gouging and toothing. 😂

Some very poisonous and evil things have been said and done and it would be fun to see just a little bit of payback to the real vipers, there’s only a few of them.

At the very least these same few guys shouldn’t be allowed within 2km of a cricket field, we can put those geo tags on them and make them do community service if they violate their restraining orders.

Why does Africa insist on destroying itself. Even South Africa is doing it. The insistence on quotas in sport. No other country in the world does it. Only Africa. The continent with the greatest potential continually insists on shooting itself in the foot.

The answer is actually very simple.

Look at this map below of IQ scores around the world and this will tell you all you need to know.

Once again Mukhulani did break the rules, you can spin it as hard as you like. On top of that ICC have been waiting for ZC to f**k up. All of Mukhulani’s supposed alliances have backfired badly. What arrogance to believe that you can keep getting the lion’s share of the grants that go to the lesser nations and believe it will last forever when the cricket around you is in tatters through your own theft and mismanagement. That story of legacy debt you can shove where the sun don’t shine as well. His comrade, Bvute, is under pressure from all sides, if catch and release don’t come into play he’s in deep and will probably be on extended vacation.

I’m sure there’s still a sickening compromise on the way, so you’ll still be twisting the truth for a while yet.

DEB and Vince Hogg?

This is like a wet dream for those longing for the good old days!

All we need now is Geoff Marsh to walk through the door wit his collar c**ked up.

😂 😂 😂

😂

ZIMDOGGY, what odds would you have taken this time a year ago if there was a market for Ellman-Brown returning as chairman and Hogg as MD?
