Antum is injured. He is on Larry kwikri latest podcast.

Ali Hamid going great guns. Bravo sir.
Antum was quite critical of the schedule, too much cricket being played.

Hamid Ali looks good. Plays a bit uppish sometimes with the cover drives but could be one for national side in time.

Thank you.

Its funny, like I cant remember a time where we have seemed to have a lot of not bad 20 year old's performing domestically.

His name is the other way around btw.

He is the son of Abid Hamid, who passed away whilst Ali was still in primary school and was a great, great man. A stalwart of the game here who did just about every single behind the scenes role at some stage - administrator, groundsman, scorer, umpire, match referee, team manager, logistics guy, fixture secretary, OH cricket section captain, kids tournament organiser, school coach. All as a total volunteer. Taken way too young, but perhaps fittingly his last day on Earth was spent captaining (as a 50 year old!) OH 2nds to a victory over rivals Alex.

Ali was never involved in any Zim age group stuff as far as I remember, and was schooled mostly in SA, so has been off the radar of most.

I'm sure his father is looking down on him very proud at the moment!

Apologies on the name and thank you for the insight.
