Cephas what a knock ! Congratulations young chap that is some innings and still going . “ should be in for Boxing Day “ comments coming brace yourself
Wow... Astonishing, didnt think he had it in him.

No sense ignoring him for the Limited overs stuff now, wouldn't it wonderful if he could be relied on to open in all three formats?

Too bad we are really need is a Test opener but a trial or two in the T20s won't hurt. In fact he really should have been trialed for the shortest format a long time ago given we have tried the likes of Chakabva have played but perhaps like Mnangagwa, his time has finally come. :)

I agree, I'd have never thought it possible either. But if you make a double century in Zimbabwe at a SR of 80, you at least deserve a shot in a T20 game. He'll probably go for 6 ball duck but you have to reward good performance!

So what are the top 5 records?

I thought flowers had a few 250 plus scores in between them and one of the ervines got close last year ?

Its Guy Whittall we are talking about. He decides what the numbers mean on his records, not the other way round.

Regis threatened his score with a 240 some years ago, and got a load of bad luck and time away from the national side for even trying :)

250 up, for the first time in Logan Cup history (at least as a FC competition)!

Congratulations Cephas Zhuwao!

250 up for Zhuwao, is this now the highest first class score in Zimbabwe?

Garwe out...seeing as he's running out of partners, is Cephas going to push on the accelerator? :shock: :shock:
