I want to see Jongwe bat @4 or 5 .....

[Detective RDS]

I did notice from Deven Bell's instagram that he was in NZ, so i assume he isnt playing this season

Bad news !

Ndlovu

Ainsley Ndlovu ? The slow left armer ?

If he's then he can be a good prospect. From his cricinfo profile I see he was in Durban Academy and played some games for Kwazulu Natal in SOU.

Not sure how true, but according to this: http://www.chronicle.co.zw/papa-back-at-tuskers/

Dabengwa, Mamhiyo and Brad Staddon have signed for / are training with the Tuskers. Ncube, Nyumbu, Mboyi, Chari, Mpofu, Chimhamhiwa, Mutumbami and Williams are confirmed too, the latter seems to be back as skipper.

Poor Journalism. Staddon is currently in Zannibar! He definitely isn't making a comeback.

Godwill is in Cape Town at uni.

Matches delayed...new start date is 15 December. Frustrating as i was travelling to bulawayo on 13 and 14 and planning to go.

Hope it's not a pay dispute
