2 get relegated, I think.
Alex and Rainbow 2 are due to be promoted from the 2nd league. Wtf happens if Rainbow 1 get relegated and Rainbow 2 get promoted

Any idea what is happening with club cricket in Bulawayo. The premier competition has appeared to attract guys from all over the country, will have helped raise the standards which have been dire over the last few years up in Matabeleland.

Seems like a few of the Rocks players are playing Bulawayo instead of Harare league. Wes has relocated to Bulawayo apparently. So maybe he’ll play for Tuskers as well for next season.

Gladiators sorely missing him and Mufandauya this season.

Smart play, probably figured the drug testers are all in Harare and wont travel, so he can toke in peace.

Glad that Brad has picked up some wickets in his first real bowling since injury. Still concerned about whether he should be selected for Bangladesh with no game time in however many years.

Ngarava is back and already has a 4 fer in his third over

[secretzimbo]

4-5 off 5 overs It's unfair at this level

Gladiators obviously missing multiple of their first choice players for their clash against Takashinga 1, of course. What a surprise!!!

This is the most corrupt season we've had for a few years.

Marumani was on 99 off 49.4 overs then couldn't lay bat on ball on the last two deliveries
