Does anyone have any info about the Casual Cricket festival tha used to be held in Mutare at the Mutare Sports Club. It was held during the August holidays.
- There were four teams of which one was Foresters, I dont remember the oyther three
- Age group was grade 6-form 2
- Players were selected from across the country with promising players from Mutare being included as well.

Format
- 35minutes each way
- Each bowler with limited amount
- Had to bowl specific number of overs within the allocated time
- The last two guys who were batting and who were not out in the game opened in the next game(I LOVED this one!)
- After all the teams had played each other the one with the most points would win
- Then two teams would be selected from the the players team. Stragglers-included all boys from schools within Harare only and Casuals would consit of all those outside Harare, then they would play a match after that.
- You would remain in the team for the years that you were eligible to play

Penalties
- Not complete overs
- delaying to come to crease
