There has never been a smooth stream from Takaz.

I guess the mobile signal is a bit patchy there.

Slightly concerning at how easily the Rwandan overseas player made such a massive impact on Day 1...

The takaz stream was decent when the recent women’s t20 series was hosted there. Moving cameras, commentary, the lot. Don’t think it buffered for me once in three matches 💁🏻‍♂️😂

Sogo are looking dog awful. Smith would be disappointed with his legacy 😂

Good to see SOGO and Taka down the bottom.
Hopefully means the other teams are going up in standards.

SOGO are too batter heavy I think.

Glad to finally have my username back! Thank you Admin! Looks like you bought the domain as well! Great stuff! Any idea if googly might make an appearance again here?

Thanks and good to have you mate!

Googly wasn't posting as frequently as he used to on the old ZCF before it went down. I certainly hope he makes an appearance soon.

Googly is this admin guy 😂😂 the tell tale signs are there

Quoted from Pat_Bee in post #47173

Googly is this admin guy 😂😂 the tell tale signs are there

😂😂😂 oh Pat, or should I say Zolsky, what are you on about? I have a moment to kill, so I'll take the bait.

Firstly, I know how to spell the word enough correctly. If that's not enuf (👈 Googly tell) evidence, there is more 👇

Another easy tell, I don't butcher Shona or Ndebele names as he sometimes did. Not that it's a crime. Both languages are difficult grasp for non-native speakers. I'm a Shona guy. I believe Googly is English speaking.

Googly knows way more about the game than I do. He also knows people in Zim cricket circles that I don't. He always came here with first hand info that I quite simply don't have access to.

Finally, I don't rant as much as he used to. Ok, maybe I dish out a longie here and there, but not as much as Googly 😂

I could give you a breakdown of how our writing styles are different, but that will chew up my time. I believe the evidence presented herein is sufficient to invalidate your claim Pat. Case closed!

Back on topic, you must be disappointed that your boys lost to SOGO hey Zolsky? I remember you picking on Matthew Campbell for no reason. Has your opinion on him changed now? 😂

Quoted from Andy31 in post #47172

Him and Secret are two I hope come back.
Shocked Sloan hasn’t logged in yet.

sloandog was one of the first people to sign up when we launched the revival. Surprised he hasn't posted anything since.
