Yes Happy Birthday Zimbabwe!

Can we have a Irish cricket sub-forum for ZCF? To speak on one point - I have no problem with Ireland potentially using the English county system to develop their players. I was referring to persons who have suggested that Ireland use the English county system exclusively to develop Irish Test play...

Excellent news Dr. Situ. Did you tell him thanks for me and give him those 2 links (one for the Jonty Winch book - the 1983 edition and the 1994 edition; the other for the reference to the 1972/1973 Logan Cup being a one day competition)? Hope he gets full internet connection soon. I don't think Cri...

I like you JHunter. I read that whole piece and would like to add something which is possibly a reason why the Irish don't have first class cricket: The sport just isn't popular there. Many people don't know what it is, the MAJORITY (Private school kids-the only ones who get exposure to the sport) ...

You see I'm beginning to suspect that we won't see any more test playing nations because almost all the nations which have some interest in multi-day cricket at home (except Argentina) are already test nations.

I know Kenya tried to set up a 3-day league but that got scrapped with the election viole...

Get hold of Jonty Winch's 'Cricket's Rich Heritage: A History of the Rhodesia and Zimbabwe National Sides' which will tell you all you need to know. Thanks for the suggestion, but that book costs between US$35 and US$100 depending on who is selling it. That's an awful lot of money (not including sh...

Hi all, I'm new. I'm not Zimbabwean, but of course I'm not a spammer since I got the capital question right. :D So, I've been trying to find info on Zimbabwean (and Rhodesian) cricketing history. I understand that the Logan Cup was started in the early 1900s (1903 or 1904 I think) and named after Ja...
