Lol whats the thinking behind Fraine and Maunze coming in at numbers 6 and 7, when they are usually openers?!

Nobody mentioned Muchawayas blitzkreig 50 as a number 11 batter lol
Yeah whats up with that, have checked his previous scorecards and it seems like he clears the boundaries very often (scores more 6‘s than 4‘s). Is he a strong lad? Thats quite a feat and why does he bat so low? Is he a slogger?
The higher you go the cooler it becomes.

Merv Hughes was also renowned for in-flight consumption
David Boon has the record of 52 cans on one flight.

Oddly, this fact in big letters occupies a whole wall at Heathrow airport.

80 runs for the last wicket partnership, could be crucial in this match and, looking at the table, the whole season.

Apparently big Merv was setting the pace for Boony. This lesson was learnt from ‘72 where Rod Marsh( no slouch on the slops himself) was Dougie’s wingman.
Very critical these tactics are worked out beforehand!

A yoyo test upon arrival would have had interesting consequences.
I thank Jesus most days that I grew up in this era.

3 day victory for Mountaineers.

News of that result no doubt forcing Tuskers to declare in their match before letting either Shumba or Jongwe get to their half centuries. Tuskers absolutely need to finish off the win here.

I hope those two deducted points don't come back to haunt them.

Interesting to see how Burl will go with the bat in the 4th innings. Without knowing the pitch conditions, I wonder how he felt about Kunje getting a bowl before him in both innings?

Mavuta and Wellington have had decent seasons with bat and ball. Mavuta with 30 wickets, Wellington on 29. Only Masuku has more with 31. Mavuta is averaging 47 with the bat this season and Wellington is averaging 33.

Makes more sense to have Mavuta in the squad for me than Mutombodzi. Mutombodzi is in his 30s. Mavuta is 24.
