Just a little thing to watch out for this season with Craig Ervines batting is how he plays spin as from what i have seen so far he does struggle to rotate the strike in OD matches when spinners are bowling.

Cant believe this 13 a side rubbish, probably just a way to make more players get a game.

Cant wait till the Rhinos kick of their campaign :)

Sikandar Raza (st & b Mutizwa 77)

Can't remember ever seeing "st & b" on a scorecard before...?

This 13-a-side stuff is ridiculous. Can they even be classed as proper List A matches with so many players?

I seem to remember that Mutizwa is a very quick runner

He comes in to bowl tossing the ball up to give it plenty of air

Runs down the wicket while the batsman is bemused by the flight of the ball

Pushes Chakabva out of the way

And whips off the bails

stumped and bowled

:D

Rocks in trouble now as Matsikenyeri is dismissed, 177-5 with Tikolo and Chitongo at the wicket

76 more needed with just 54 balls remaining

3 runs from 30 balls today. Craig Ervine, that was a shambles. Get your act together.
A talented batsman but a modest, hardworking character, Stuart Matsikenyeri is the third of three school friends from Churchill Boys High School, Harare to represent Zimbabwe in international cricket. - Cricinfo.

Eagles have had their feathers well and truly plucked by Rocks, Tikolo 56* from 42 balls and Chisoro 24* from 12 balls hammering 50 in 3.3 overs to take Rocks home by 4 wickets with 11 balls remaining

Eagles 252-7 lose to Rocks 256-6 by 4 wickets
