Mugabe's Men || Team Zimbabwe at the WTC 2010

I am just trying to survive out here in the heat.

Plus, Mugabe isn't too kind with giving away money.

I was initially happy when he handed over this One hundred Trillion dollar bill. I thought I would be the richest manager in the world. Sadly, found out the bill's worth later on in the day.

Good news!!!!!

i think u can pick grant flower as a international player- not as legend here read this http://www.cricinfo.com/south-africa...ry/479337.html

[hasanb]

^Yes that is correct...since he is now once again eligible to be selected Grant Flower can be picked as a normal international player.

KU...I hear its rather hard finding a loaf of bread over there at times!

Has Mugabe tried to talk you into fixing a few games? I hope he has learnt his lesson from what happened last time he did that.

Not yet.

Although, Mazhar Majeed give me a ring. I wonder why?

Forget bread.

I am having trouble finding water. Had to head over to the local watering hole and had a lovely chat with the elephants.

I took a picture of my friend, as well.

Both were allowed last time even though they had played ODIs.

The whinge persists.

Last time was last time. This season, this was the rule given in the infopack:

Managers are also allowed to select 2 domestic players who have not yet represented their country at international level. For these players please remember to use their first class average and NOT the list A average.

Final decision is hasan's.

Please have a look at last year's thread.

Rule was the same - yet, both players were allowed.

[saj001]

If they haven't played test they can be picked as domestic player.

[Boi]

Don't see a problem with why Mutizwa or Meth being selected? Or I might be missing something here?

Ask Hammad.

If my selections are considered breaking the rules - then the rules were "broken" last year, as well.

[hasanb]

Zimbabwe were granted special concessions last year due to their absence from test cricket. Those same concessions will apply this time round as well and therefore both players in question will indeed be allowed to play.

Yep. Well, Zimbabwe gets slight leeways on somethings because they're not a Test playing nation. So it's alright.

[Free Hit]

It's a fun cricket.

Read the thread titled, "The Official Cricsim Q&A Thread" to get a gist of things.

[iHammad]

I've joined Zim now, so gooooo Zimbabwe!!!

They beat us, probably got lucky because of their Reebok jersey deal, absolute fluke

[kingusama92]

Excellent addition to the staff.

My type of manager. Calm and patient. Should prove to be a great assistant/co-manager.

Don't hesitate to give me suggestions on team selection for the next match.

[hasanb]

Seems like youve netted another addition to the staff:

http://www.espncricinfo.com/zimbabwe...ry/487777.html

Brian Lara eh...things are definitely looking up for Zimbabwe these days!

[kingusama92]

I am turning Zimbabwe cricket around.

Since I joined Zimbabwe - the following has occurred.

Zimbabwe signed up Reebok to produce kits.
Drew our match against SL
Won our match against England.
Hiring iHammad
Hired Brian Lara as consultant

Not bad job.

[iHammad]

You missed hiring me

Ah yes. How could I forget?
