Copy'n'paste is not easy, so here's the full day two update from ZC - if someone wants to kindly copy the relevant bits into the match threads, I can lock my own thread later. ^^;
ZC MEDIA RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Harare, 15 September 2009
Day two ended with Tuskers in trouble as they trail by 95 runs, Tuskers
closed the day with 224 for 8 wickets after 70 overs. Neither Tuskers nor
Midwest Rhinos have made full use of the flat Kwekwe wicket although Rhinos
made a feast of Tuskers who fell victim to the works of Graeme Creamer who
took 4 wickets for 69 in 23 overs. Mark Vermulen and Christopher Mupariwa
made bold attempts and managed to score 47 and 39 respectively. Rhinos will
have to maintain the pressure by removing the last two wickets remaining and
build an imposing lead, while Tuskers have to reduce their follow on margin
to attainable levels.
Meanwhile in the Eagles versus Mountaineers game, Mountaineers had full
control of the day. Captain Hamilton Masakadza had reached an unbeaten 111
by end of day. Mountaineers took early wickets in the early hours of the day
crippling Eagles who were forced on the field earlier than expected and
further went on to create strong partnerships. Other top scorers were wicket
keeper Tatenda Taibu who scored 63 off 73 balls as Stewart Matsikanyeri who
ended the day in partnership with Hamilton Masakadza at 39.
Eagles are hoping for early morning brilliance from their strike bowlers
Elton Chigumbura and Trevor Garwe if they have hopes of not trailing by a
huge margin.
