In a year that carries more nostalgia than action, I thought I would create a thread just for this forum, for people to reflect on fun times or interesting moments they have had over their time here on the forum. I’m sure everyone has a few, given the loyal and dedicated base we have here.
For me personally, I think it was when I called out Sloandog and he started abusing me and I gave it to him back, and he said ‘bring it on’ and ‘keep them coming’ and I kept them coming and he was so rattled he had a cry and asked ‘big brother’ Zimbos_5 to step in and look after him.
That was interesting.
I’ve also enjoyed some of the viewpoints from Googly and Jemisi on their views of the current state of affairs. It is a lively place to be and post at times.

In defence of those babbling nonsense, there isn't exactly much sensible to discuss these days regarding Zimbabwean cricket.
My All-time Zimbabwe XI
Neil Johnson, Brendan Taylor, Murray Goodwin, Andy Flower (w), David Houghton, Sean Williams, Heath Streak (c), Andy Blignaut, Paul Strang, Eddo Brandes, Blessing Muzarabani

A good memory for me happened quite recently.
When chesterton asked about the quota rule in the South African domestic comp, he mentioned teams requiring a certain number of African Americans.
I thought when one lived in Africa, you were from the continent of Africa. Where did the American connection come from?
Or is Morgan Freeman, Denzel Washington & the Wayans brothers the new SA line up?
Maybe I'm aussie American because I'm a white Anglo-Saxon Protestant?
Spare me, please.

Yeup when I first joined in mid 2013 the forum was great, plenty of people adding great content, the best memories of mine are definitely the match threads, the 2013 Test win over Pakistan was probably my highlight. I think I wrote ‘CHATARA!!!!’ A thousand times

African American is the polite and inoffensive way of saying people from that heritage. Stop living in the Stone Age.USA has nothing to do with it.

It would be lovely to talk about a flourishing domestic league, or an upcoming series, but in reality, those things are difficult. Our own organisation does not interact with the fans so how are we kept updated on what is happening and what to talk about?
In saying that, a forum can also have diverse topics.

I can't let this go.
Chesterton, are you telling me it is impolite & offensive to regard a person as Zimbabwean of Shona heritage. I have to refer them as African American?
And really? African American has nothing to do with the USA?

Without knowing the individual, African American is the nicest way of referring to those people and most politically correct.
Please remember that no two Shona are the same. They are a very bright and individual race.
Some Shona would prefer being called blacks.
Others ‘brothas’ and some even like being called ‘THE N BOMB’.
However until you get to know and test out the Shona in your friendship or work circle, African American is the safest bet. Down the line you can say things like ‘how are you my N bomb?’ And ‘what’s good in the hood?’ But you need to be on a certain level of friendship first.

If you want to be politically correct, then just call them African. That is what they are. They is nothing American about them and they should not be associated with that sad excuse for a nation.
