Its a cruel punishment for Zim to not play more

Cricket. If Zimbabwe had the cricket playing opportunities of Bangladesh, then they would have been miles ahead in their cricket. Those lost years when the Intl Community sanctioned them because of Mugabe really set them back. I remember the days of Heath Streak, Taibu, the brothers Flower, et al. They had a really good set of players.

Zimbabwe has a new coach who seems to be in a no-nonsense mood with these cricketers. At first, I thought he was being too extremist tough but I now beginning to wonder as to whether mister apparently knew why he had to be extra hard on these players.


Just look at what happened now. Zimbabwe beating Australia.......
