Help Zim cricket

[MediumPacer]

Zim has the best cricket fans in the world.Full house cheering and singing in support of their team although they are losing and cant even qualify for world cup. Much better than wi fans who dont even turn up, even though they have much better stadiums and infrastructure and their team is comparatively lot better than zim and have won wt20s and tests in eng and aus recently.

I fully agree and propose ICC move next year's Champions Trophy to Zim 

[Frustrated]

Totally agree.  This is the ideal time for PCB to cooperate with BCCI & with ICC in relocating the CT2025 to Zim.

Zim cricket is down due to political reasons, ICC can't do much there.

No amount of cricket can help, if their currency value is down and they have to find out other ways to survive instead of just playing cricket.

Mugabe destroyed their cricket in 2000s . Plus Southern African blacks are not genetically blessed in fast twitch muscles like Western African Blacks which are naturally strong and hit ball hard.

Their fans are great and players decent. They have some legacy too. Andy Flower was a world class cricketer. There are a few teams going around the circuit currently who haven't had anybody of that quality in their history.

Zim are certainly stronger and more athletic than us.

I hope this India tour will attract more teams to visit ZIM. Zim fans do deserve to see more of quality cricket. Besides, better sides touring ZIM will help them learn and grow.

Muzarabani has got everything needed to be a world class fast bowler. So did Olonga in the past.

It depends on the diet, rest and nutrition a player gets.

 

Indian veg eating wrestlers are thrashing the European/African beef and meat eating wrestlers.

Everything changed from 2004 onwards.

Zim cricket is dead, they need to get atleast 4-5 decent players to be competitive. They barely have 1-2.

Even before 2004 , their best players were surprisingly good - Andy , Neil Johnson , Streak, Olonga Blignaut, Ervine etc.  

 

The rest of the team usually were OK to mediocre and they didnt have any bench strength .

In 2020 Olympics Out of 72 medals in wrestling. Indians won only 2.

Another myth is Indian wrestlers are veg which many are not

He had potential but even after 6-7 years, he didn't perform consistently.

And I checked the Olympic record of west African countries like Ivory coast,Ghana. They too have poor records. By your standards they are also unathletic.

West Africans are kicking out whites from their teams in Europe despite being tiny minority. Football is very athletic and most popular sport.
