I agree, Zim Provinces should play a couple more games, they will improve a lot with this exposure. A game against Kenya is very much likely, i would also reccomend teams like Uganda.

Stumps on day two: Zimbabwe Provinces 339/6d, Namibia 107 & 218/3. Looks like Namibia have finally remembered how to play...

Even though it's looking dire, the points situation is not: Points Zimbabwe Provinces 13.78*, Namibia 4.14*

It brings us up to third on the table: http://content-www.cricinfo.com/southaf ... ointstable

What a close game, I'm not sure how many overs were to spare but it was probably cutting it fine. A cameo by Graeme Cremer, 35 off 26 (what a transformation from bowler to allrounder, surely his Logan Cup century was no fluke) to seal the win - 2nd innings run rate of 6.00.

Would have been a good days play to be at.
