Zimbabwe has an influx of allrounders Chapungu gets 2 wickets.

I can't believe Mashonaland don't have a few more white players knocking on the door. You'd think there's some club cricket stalwarts, or some up and comers who have done alright on the club scene, that would get a look in.

In other words, I don't believe that Nathan Waller is the best non-international white cricketer in Harare.

Something is seriously off (which I guess we already knew because of Diplockgate).

Why bring colour into yet another discussion... How about talking about cricket?

Well what do you know? Another Chigumbura failure. Normally, for a case like this, I'd say he still has a lot to offer by mentoring the youngsters as they play, but no way is Elton inspiring anyone. Surely that's one spot a younger hungrier player can get.

Interesting to see Gupo turn out for the Rhinos.

The Zimbabwe Bird is soaring high, even above the Eagles. Chapungu stakes claim for the "all-rounder" spot for the next Bulawoyo test :)

7 wickets so far. Can he make it 8?

Surprised you raised the race issue? Not something i link to your posts.

Question should be why Mashonaland don't produce quality cricketers.

most if them seem to have run off to the Rhinos. keep in mind the likes of Taylor and PJ actually live in Harare and not Kwekwe.

Well batted to Nathan Waller for his 58.
Wish his bowling would get back on track. Evidently very talented but just need to hope he doesn't languish as a FC veteran.

Zimbabwe desperately need a fast bowling all rounder

We have Mire, tiripano, Jongwe and Chigumbura.

What I think you meant to say is we need a HALF decent bowling all rounder!
