You guys are always thinking a few moves ahead.
I've been in love with the kid ever since I saw him in the last televised T20 series.

We had some serious discussions about picking him early, because we knew you would go for him in round 5 or 6. But then we have so many of our own stars to protect and retain.

As good as Roy is and worthy of a sixth round pick, I would have given him up for any of your early round choices.

We came to that conclusion as well.

Yep, and now we have to work out how to handle your bowlers. Not that there is much of a counter to Golden Arm.

That ends round six in not unexpected fashion. We at Mutare would have thought it better for Jongwe's development to be monitored by the best bowling coach on the circuit, Gary Brent, but maybe Mupariwa has some tips up his sleeve for the youngster. Do not let Elton anywhere near his bowling!

Starting off round seven, Mountaineers retain the services of Kudzai Sauramba, versatile up and down the order, an agressive batsman with the stuff to succeed in all formats of the game, with an exciting future ahead of him for both club and, later hopefully, country.

Yup, the backup keeper and potentially a very good quality middle order bat. The Mountaineer's Supporters Trust will be encouraging his development as a keeper, as promised earlier :)

Good to see that all the quality rock stars are also getting snapped up in no time.

I knew you were going to have to get him this round or we were all going to have him - no snitches required.
