Glamorgan and Durham to tour Zimbabwe

[TapsC2]

I remember Taibu really thought Faraz Akram was the next big thing

Hopefully Southerns come in with a better display today.
Also need more guys to step up. Gumbie and Faraz's efforts should be appreciated. However without their contributions we could've been looking at a double digit score for the Northerns as well.

Congrats Joylord Gumbie on the 50 against a tough attack

Somewhere in harare Secretzimbo is eating humble pie

I'm not in Harare and I'm definitely not eating that. He's had a good knock, well done.

I thought you were in Harare, you’re Zim based but yeah?

I’m Zim based but travel a lot for work. Currently enjoying the delights of Maputo

I got a feeling the senior players will pitch up for the ODIs.

Career defining knock for Gumbie. Was he not part of the rising stars? Could be a real mental boost knowing you cam do it against some quality opposition.

No he wasn’t, he’s a bit older. He played in the 2014 U19s WC which was a tremendously disappointing one for Zimbabwe. Jongwe from memory had a good tournament but guys like Burl, Lake, Musakanda etc all played pretty average.

Southerns continue to stink it up, but Northerns have Glarmorgan on the ropes 52-4

Old hararians looks like a pitch you initially struggle on but if you grind it out such as Gumbie it becomes easier

masuku taking some prize scalps

[TapsC2]

Maauku in the right conditions is dangerous. I'm happy that they have made a game of it. I honestly didn't rate their chances at the beginning.

Is Cricinfo right in listing Madhevere and Tiripano as captains?

[zimfan1]

Madande getting a right test from Potts and he is holding his own so far. Good cricket to watch.

[secretzimbo]

You can see why Potts has played for England. This is some serious bowling from Durham, really quick and aggressive - especially when they are bowling to Madande, really trying to target him with bouncers. He's doing well so far, as is Richmond at the other end.
