Also, the mans name is Joylord. Seriously come on, if we not going to keep all these fantastic names in cricket then we damning the sport.
Good enough reasoning I would say, to keep him in the scene . Yes, quite an exciting talent for sure.

So, as our next pick, we go for an all rounder backup in Mark Ramon Henry Mbofana.
Now there is a glut of players from the Midlands car pooling up to Muture

Very sensible choice there. We were wondering how Vermeulen would manage keeping in all 3 formats in addition to being the top order lynch pin at this age
And yes, Rhinos and Tuskers can come together and put up a Mountaineers B side by the end if it probably. Our guys not getting much love from the the Eagles though. But this kind of tells the story of this year's success of Mountaineers (in the real competitions). Solid set of back up guys when the national heroes are away.

Well, we'll see what can be done. We two at Mountaineers have been busy too, over the last 3-4 days, and it would continue that way for another couple of days for me. And losing one Mountaineer after another to other teams hasn't helped our plans either.
But, we are ready with our candidate for this round: A guy who could take 8 wickets in an innings in only his second FC match, a 5 for in his debut List A match, with an all rounder potential, can't lose talent like that from our domestic scene. Tafadzawa Muzarawetu it is.

Glad that Eagles retained Gumbie. I assume he will take the gloves in the Logan Cup while Taylor would keep in the shorter forms to keep sharp for the same duties with the national side?

All options are being addressed. We would like to think that no player is guaranteed of a start in any format of the game. We want to have healthy and strong competition not just in matches, but in practice and warm ups.
The Eagles have decided on their next draft pick and would like to snatch from the draft T Kamungozi.
Taurai Muzarabani has yet to take a five wicket haul, but his 21 wickets @ 20 in this season's Logan Cup have been part of some of the best form of his career. Rhinos believe that he will bring solid experience and a good work ethic to the squad. He will be an important addition to our seam department.
. Yes, quite an exciting talent for sure.
