Day One Tea: Tuskers 200/2 (59 overs; Williams 60*, Dabengwa 55*), Eagles yet to bat.

I'm glad that Williams is on 60*
But I'm not too pleased that Dabengwa is on 55*. Will the selectors look at him again ?? I hope not

On the basis of this innings, Brendan Taylor will be dropped from the top of the order to make for Dabengwa.

Wow! Centuries galore, probably the best day of batting in the last two seasons of Logan Cup. Williams and Dabengwa here, and Taylor and Ballance over at Kwekwe.

Now what is dificult to comprehend is Williams' inability to continue this at the highest level of late. Why should he be nervous at all when it comes to representing Zim? (he says so over at Facebook repeatedly. Doesn't that make the job easy for the opposition?) He must be the most confident guy with the most compact technique. Get your mental toughness together Sean, we don't need another talent go the Vermeulen way. A series of chats with Ray Price must be enough.

Well batted Sean Williams and Dabengwa. More so to Williams. we need him to hit for form for the tour to bangladesh
