Match Thread Rhinos v Eagles (Logan Cup)

wow Taylor and Kasteni are in great form with the bat hope they keep it going

Wow.... Mutombodzi crabbing 7 wickets. That is indeed something. No Rogers, Butterworth insight. In comes old horse Hondo and youngster Mutombodzi. No place for Tafadzwa Mufambisi as well. Curran must have opted for a stronger bowling line up as compared to their opening match. Hondo, Masvaure, Chigumbura, Gware all front line seamers. With Price, Lamb and Mutombodzi proving the spin options. Hmmm!!! One, two... many bolwers if you ask me.

looks to be that possibly that Rogers is contracted for one day games only, but on the question of the bowling attack greg lamb is a front line batsman who can bowl a bit

[jimbo]

Mutitzwa cracked another century, An unbeaten 156!!!

This will give the selectors a few headaches prior to the bangladesh tour,

[zimfan1]

Cremer with 5 more wickets

but Ray Price absent hurt is a worry

[zimfan1]

Rhions 68/3 BRM Taylor 34 not out

[tawac]

but Ray Price absent hurt is a worry

Very worrying indeed. A man his age takes a minute to heel.

Match drawn. ZC match report:

This was a game that was entirely dominated by two quality leg spinners.

The Rhinos who won the toss had no hesitation in electing to bat on a
typically batsman-friendly Kwekwe wicket. Their innings of 344 was built
around a third wicket stand of 204 between Brendon Taylor who scored 129 and
Friday Kasteni who recorded a successive century in this season by scoring
exactly 100. The honours however went to U19 leg spinner Tinotenda
Mutombodzi who claimed seven for 54 in 26 overs. The Eagles made heavy work
of the pursuit but were eventually bowled out for 380 thanks to
wicket-keeper batsman Foster Mutizwa's unbeaten 159. Mutizwa who is known as
a crunching middle order batsman showed maturity and responsibility by
facing 269 balls and hitting 12 fours and two sixes. Graeme Cremer was yet
again the pick of the bowlers with five for 158 in 48.5 overs, the Eagles
would have thought they were in with a chance when they dismissed the top
three Rhinos batsmen with just fifty runs on the board. However Brandon
Taylor with 42, Graeme Cremer with a resilient 94 and Taurai Muzarabanai
with an unbeaten 51 batted the Rhinos to safety and a rather tame draw.
