Yes, pretty ridiculous losing guys like Cremer, Madziva and Waller for some cricket tournament against Malasia / Singapore!!! That too in the name of "Mashonaland" West, while their Midlands team struggles in the Logan Cup...

Surprised to see the eagles batting on! You would think they need a whole day to bowl them out ?
Top knock from burl time for this lad to feature permanently in all 3 formats!

Wow! Eagles continue on all the way till Lunch and beyond and they have still not declared! Very good knock by Burl, and Chigs plays out a 29 ball 5 retired hurt followed by a 17 ball 3 not out by Nathan Waller at Lunch. Wow! Looks like the only reason they are still batting could be that they forgot this is day 4 of this match. Can't believe Mutombodzi is waiting for his own century...

More insanity. They play 3 balls after lunch and declare. Bizarre.

Eagles should have declared in the morning shaking my head at batting till lunch not clever strategy . I guess safe option was to play for the draw heaps pressure on the eagles to win the two back to back games against the Manicas

So, Kunje's move to the Tuskers has helped him with regular matches through the season, and is looking good nowadays with runs coming regularly. He announced himself with a 100 for Mountaineers but did not get regular opportunities there. But now, is he the next batsman in line for an extended A team honours? People on the ground, how do you rate his skills and work ethics?

Kunje is the real deal just needed opportunities. His 100 could have been bigger if it were not for some unsportsman cricket by his former teamates. Only concern is his fitness a bit of bulk on the lad but the real deal
