[Match Thread] Tuskers v Eagles (Logan Cup)

[maehara]

Matabeleland Tuskers v Mashonaland Eagles
Queens Sports Club, Bulawayo, 3-6 February 2010

This one is pretty much a dead rubber - it's Eagles' final match before the final, which they're already assured of playing in. Tuskers likewise are out of the running for a final place, and are just playing for pride.

We have play in Bulawayo now as well, big changes in the Eagles side

Tuskers : Strydom*, Coventry, Dabengwa, Duffin, Ebrahim, Mboyi, Meth, Mpofu, Mujuru, Mupariwa & Nyumbu

Why hondo is not playing.anyone have idea.

Eagles testing out their bench strength. Will be interesting to see how they go, on paper you would expect the Tuskers to win comfortably.

[Train Driver]

I see that we have team change, the Eagles side is now showing Innocent Chinyoka in place of Kyle Jarvis, it's so long since i've heard of Chinyoka that i thought he must have given up, nice to see him back.

Tuskers now moved onto 290-3 from 72.3 overs, Dabengwa 85*, Coventry 12*, Ebrahim 74, Mujuru 71, Duffin 19

Zhuwawo 1-0, Masvaure 1-34, Munyede 1-43 as Eagles have used 9 bowlers so far

[CrimsonAvenger]

My learning for the day: Stop taking unwanted swipes at Dabengwa. He is getting too consistant for our comfort.

[Train Driver]

And he's just reached his 100
