Alright, let me go with one of my favorites again. Raymond William Price with 49 as the top score (just like Mupariwa) but over a thousand runs. No research done here, hoping Price becomes the answer for one of these questions :)

Awesome questions, by the way!

Absolutely!

And the pace you keep firing them, Jemisi, is just as awesome. Compared to the photo quiz this is T20 style quizzing :)

Sorry, close but not there. You'll get on the board soon mate.

Indeed! I wanted to get him in without an obviously spin friendly question.

1056 List A runs from Ray but one short of a fifty as his highest.

foreignfield, CrimsonAvenger : 4
rusty17 : 2
MidWest Rhinos, eugene : 1

Okay, we are back to bowlers and FC cricket.

13. Kevin Curran is the only Rhodesian/Zimbabwean to achieve 4 ten wicket matches in his career. Name all the bowlers that have managed 3.

If you are quick and get all of them bar one, I will give a half point. (Because what is a stats quiz without decimal points?) And I will give half a point to someone who stands on those shoulders.

Or you could just get all of them up front and take the whole point for yourself.

Also whilst searching if you find any guys with two that might help down the road a bit.

That was a few seasons ago. I remember it because I think 5 of his 7 victims were fellow Zim batters!
There were only 3 Zimbos in the entire batting line-up. Vusi, Hamilton and Raza. But yes he got all 3 of them.

I was sure of our spin wizards, but on checking, realized Jarvis Senior makes it too. May be his son can join him this season. Also, I realized that I was wrong about a couple of others. So, lets see if this work helps me with a 0.5, or at least helps someone else to get the first part of 0.5...

Zimbos with 3 10 wicket hauls: Paul Strang, Ray Price, Graeme Cremer, Malcolm Jarvis

Adding to CrimsonAvenger's four, I'll include Peter Rawson.

But also Joe Partridge & Percy Mansell (who has 5 ten wicket hauls). Are they included?

I guess those two and Mike Procter (with 15 10 wicket hauls) don't count as they have played tests for SA (not Rhodesian / Zimbabwean any more by Jemisi's definition).
