Zimbabwe Cricket Photo Quiz

Here's the real Marvin Vogel, involved with the Grow Hope Trust Foundation, a Christian NGO active in Manicaland.

We see Zimbabwe as our home as Marvin grew up in Mutare and Amy lived there for six years. Marvin was a sports coach for the local schools in Mutare and Amy worked as a teacher.

Oh wow! such a nice family pic! I was so sure that I may not find his actual image that I straightaway went for the collage. Can easily mistake him for Dion Ebrahim / Paul Adams for a moment.

Strangely enough, even Masakadza's Cricinfo page does not indicate he played for Matabeleland. I hadn't noticed it too even after looking at that scorecard till you pointed it out! What an awesome quiz question it is!

Which FC team did Hamilton Masakadza not represent over his career?

1. Mashonaland
2. Manicaland
3. Matabeleland
4. Southerns

Most people would get this wrong I think.

Hm, I don't know the comic-strip character, but when you said the next question would be easy for me ... are we talking about the forgotten Marvin John Vogel (German for bird)?

... too slow

It's a popular Looney Tunes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Looney_Tunes) character named 'Marvin the Martian'. I had to google what Vogel meant.

Hamilton Masakadza didn’t play for Southerns. He played for Easterns in that period between the rebels & franchise cricket.

Yes indeed! Most people would get that question wrong I feel, and would say Matabeleland. But he did play for them too, definitely in the only FC match of Marvin Vogel.

578. Who is this guy who played both cricket and football at a decent level, and turned out for the Rhodesian cricket team as part of that?

I agree! It took me an hour to even find that pic. Just to add more details, he is probably known more for his football in UK than cricket for Rhodesia.

George Gemmel? Played for Tottenham & Watford before WWI and then emigrated to Rhodesia.

Lets not try and make the questions too abstract. Keep them relatively simple enough. I haven't got a clue on who this bloke is but I have a number of images which I think people may know well enough.
