I am not holding my breath for the scorecard. Still waiting for Rhinos/Tuskers to appear.

Not sure what that mean if the Mountaineers are 37/5 in 10 overs or is Maruma took 5/37 in 10 Overs

I'd say the latter. Strange way of wording it, though...

Day one scorecard

http://www.cricinfo.com/zimdomestic-09/ ... 14294.html

No Steve Tikolo in the Rocks side, nice to see some old names back though, Blessing Mahwire, Hilary Matanga and Alester Maregwede.

[Detective RDS]

And no Ervine brothers (Craig and Ryan) and Stephan Marillier as well. Though Ryan Ervine and S Marillier (played for Derbyshire CCC 2nd XI) hasn't made their FC debut yet but Craig Ervine has a good domestic record. I think they will appear in the side at any point of the tournament, guess by playing a Faithwear match.

Good to see Blessing Mahwire leading the pace attack of Southern Rocks. He is quite an experienced player with 10 tests under his belt. Must be a strong contender for the ''A'' side.

Day Two:

Mountaineers 57/2 (B Mlambo 13, T Mawoyo 28) just before lunch

Day Two scorecard is up:
http://www.cricinfo.com/zimdomestic-09/ ... 14294.html

Mountaineers finished the day on 263/9 (from 13 overs if you believe the scorecard - somehow I think that's a mistake!). Matsikenyeri 76, Utseya 54. Bowling figures appear to be all wrong, so no comment there...

Day Three lunch:
Southern Rocks 51/7, leading by 14 runs.

...and that's a terrible second innings for the Rocks...
