After watching arguably one of the best displays of football ever, it just goes on to show that football as an entity is now evolving at a much greater pace than what it used to do. What I am not sure of is whether Blitz Krieg is the new pinnacle for surely it is too good to be true just like Joga Bonito which just like their counterparts capitalized on the weaknesses of their opponents.Credit should be given to the German team for their ruthless attacking style of plaay which sealed them the match in just 28 minutes making completely wiping away any hope of a come-back. This was also a case of some average fellows who had no idea what it means to wear that yellow jersey (especially that moment during the national anthems which to me was a poor attempt of garnering support which backfired tremendously) in fact this is disturbing particularly because even if we bring it home a bit it is the same story whereby players don't what it means anymore to be a warrior (just as a juxtap...
courtesy of espn cricinfo By Perkins Bare The Chevrons got off to astrong start in Day 1 of their first Test against Sri Lanka as they closed off the day at 182-9 at the Harare Sports Club yesterday. The match saw the Chevrons having the opening batsmen,1-3 posting half-centuries in a Test Match which certainly got them off to a great start.

Kevin Kasuza (63) was playing his first Test whilst Prince Masvaure (55) was only playing his second Test. courtesy of france24 After the dismissal Craig E...
By Perkins-Tino Bare The Zimbabwe Cricket team was involved in two back to back Test matches against South Africa A and New Zealand over the holidays and yes you guessed it they lost both of them handing the series to New Zealand in a spectacular manner. Prior to that they had warmed themselves up with a date with our neighbours as they took on South Africa A in two unoffical tests with the visitors romping on to victory in the second 4-Day match played out in Bulawayo whilst they could only manage a draw in the first match played at Harare Sports Club going on to lose the series. How Do You Play Test Cricket Now looking from the matches that the Chevrons lost, that is against New Zealand out in Bulawayo. The Chevs still need to get the basics correct first on how to approach a test match because from the look of things the lads had no clue on how exactly to approach the game let alone be competitive on the field of play. This was evident especiall...
