Opening post

I noted with interest when I tuned in today that Mark Waugh made a comment that he thinks Zimbabwe need to up their fitness levels, which would help doing the small things right hand be agile.

It’s interesting that he has picked this up pretty quickly.

Something we have been saying a while and he’s right.

It’s an easy thing to get right.

I’m not even going to touch on the drug thing, but In the current team we have Burl who fluctuates, Jongwe who’s probably not as sharp as his role entails. Chatara who is getting a belly. And so forth.

We also saw BT and Hammy pack it on a few years ago. Kasuza and Prince who are in the wings are also fat.

Even worse, we had fast bowlers like Ncube and the worst offender, Panyangara, pack it on. Fast bowlers!

People of this age playing professional sport shouldn’t be this big unless there’s a thyroid issue.

If you’re training and not going hard on the kfc you won’t get fat.

So it tells me they are not training or going hard on the kfc or both.

Our biggest improvers in the squad (relative to where they started) Ervine, Raza and Regis, all have one thing in common. Great fitness.

Seems something easy to fix up.

Yes Raza looks like he could play for maybe even 4 more years. He is using he real age actually so he might have some time left in him 😂 in other countries he would be passed off as a 31 year old. Regis too. He looks like he can play for a while. Sean could but I think it's more of a mental challenge for him than physical. It's Ervine I'm a bit worried about.

Those ZC salaries are decent enough in a collapsing economy to keep them around if the admin side of the game is correct.


Is there a correlation with drinking or not drinking :?:
