It sure is man, Thanks for the post. Love the Stats, they put everything into perspective. That boy Timycen Maruma sure is good. I only hope he gets a national team call up soon. Whatever happened to Richie Sims???

Stuart Matsikenyeri has overtaken Mark vermeulen as the Logan Cup all time rungetter. His 49 took his total to 2769 runs , Vermeulen has 2725 runs.
Graeme Cremer became the 5th player to record 100 wickets in the last round. Price, Brent, Utseya & Mupariwa are the others.

Compared to other countries domestic competitions, how do you think the logan and faitwehter cups compare? Is it up there with australias or england etc.?

[Terryalderman]

To your response StevenZim, if you look at how and who the Zim players have performed when they have played in other countries the standard of the logan Cup would not be that high. Out of the the current Zim squad you'd suggest only Tatenda Taibu and Ray Price would go close to playing for a state side in Australia, maybe Graeme Cremer and Jarvis could be a chance with access to better coaches and facilities.
Brendan Taylor played top level grade cricket in Victoria last year but struggled for any consistency, while Vusi Sibanda and Alester Margwede both played suburban cricket in Australia so where a long way from playing first class. If you look at how S Ervine and Blignaut performed when they played first class in Aus they both struggled. I'd say that in the Logan Cup is somewhere between 1st and 2nd grade cricket in the top Victorian and New South Wales competitions.
County cricket isn't as strong but I'd still say Logan Cup isn't anywhere near. Maybe 2nd division county cricket. It would be interesting the comparison with West Indies and Bangladesh cricket.
