Southern Rocks v Midwest Rhinos
Masvingo Sports Club, 3-6 February 2010


Rhinos need to win this if they're to have any chance of reaching the final - if they do, then the 2nd spot in the final will likely go to the winners of Mountaineers v Rhinos in the final week. Rocks are already out of the picture.

Game underway, the cricinfo sides are

Rocks : Maregwede*, Chisoro, C Ervine, S Ervine, Kamungozi, Machiri, Mahwire, S Marillier, Matanga, Maunze & Munyaradzi

Rhinos : Sibanda*, Chapungu, Chikunya, Chinouya, Cremer, Muzhange, Nkala, Rainsford, Taylor, Waller & Wessels

If these sides are correct then it's a debut for Sean Ervine but no Ian Harvey or Doug Marillier, assuming that it's actually Steve not Doug in todays side, for Rhinos we have U19 seamer Richard Muzhange in for Taurai Muzarabani.

Rocks starting on top in this match having Rhinos, who chose to bat, 16-2 from 8 overs, Chikunya 10, Nkala 0, Taylor 3*, Sibanda 2* , Mahwire 1-4, Munyaradzi 1-12

Malcolm Waller gets his maiden first-class ton and saves Rhinos' blushes. 107 and still going. :D

Good job i didn't mention that i thought Waller should have been left out :?

He's had a pretty poor season to be fair, but he's chosen a good day to hit a career best and keep Rhinos in with a chance of a final place

Currently 262-9 from 76 overs, Waller 119*, Muzhange 3*, Mahwire 3-26, Munyaradzi 2-49, Matanga 2-62

Just when you thought we are already spoilt for choice for national team call up, Waller hits form :)
