Add some CSR and genuine will to help out, a lot of the daily needs for the squad is sorted out. Also, clubs would put their hands up and would be willing to play against them (keeping the quality of these clubs aside for the time being) and ensure all the arrangements are made for the match from their end, and the ZRS has to turn up, play the match, learn from the game and move on to the next one.
A lot of this would most likely not happen as smoothly as it did in UK anywhere else in the world. Taibu must be commended for seeing this opportunity and almost single-handedly executing the initial setup. Anyone else trying to replicate this anywhere else will not find it as straightforward (in relative context, I'm sure getting this up and running was one hell of an experience) as this. So, practically, ZRS will either continue this way with its UK dependence, or will just fold up. Given the new political atmosphere, hopefully we can count on some more help coming forth from the UK in cricketing terms.

Tuskers need to dig deep here because the ZRS have them on the ropes at 83/4 with not much batting to come. Could be very embarrassing for the Tuskers.

Magarira is a Chinaman bowler? As it's mentioned on Cricinfo?!

Murray’s glovework standing up to the stumps will bring tears to your eyes, he’s absolutely superb, world class in fact.

Great to see Stars dominating Tuskers again, giving an indication how worst A team probables are from this franchise

But we are used to the other type of tears, induced by Moor, Regis and Richie...
And Mpofu in at 8. That's more like it. Shooting up the order
Re: [Logan Cup 2017 Round 5] Tuskers v Rising Stars
Ernest Masuku doing well with the bat as well. Early days yet but he could be one to definitely keep an eye on. Perhaps another Keagan Meth type player. His partnership with Nyumbu Might just save the game for Tuskers.

Masuku did get to bowl (out of nowhere) in that 2 day warm up match against the WI. May be Streak already has his eyes on him.
