This thing has all the hallmarks of an absolute debacle with no one getting paid and half a dozen players being done for match fixing

I would say this is very likely

Yep sounds farcical, I'm imagining it to be like this league: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xTEf5TJrMc

Or maybe the fake IPL League that was run on a farm in Molipur and tricked Russian betters.

Adam Theo says all games under floodlights.
This I gotta see. Maybe 100 guys up each tower shining torches?

come on Googly. At least they are doing a fair job of having D/N games for the first time in Zim.

They could have just made it T20, that would have been great. WTF is this T10 format?

Though a bit off topic I want te reiterate my ultra negative opinion on T10 format.

I'm an advocate of both T20 and T20 hundred balls. These are the only serious formats for a speedy cricket match. These are the short formats which are long enough for advertisers and serious enough for statistics comparisons.

T10 is meaningless "boom boom cricket", it may make sense for tapeball local tournaments, not to develop the sport and woo new interest.

HOWEVER.........It's better than nothing, let's see the glass half full: with this tournament Zimbabwe is back in the round of main southern africa city tournaments, although for a short period of time.

My hope is that, in the near future, the SAT20 league may have one (or two) Zimbabwe based franchise. That would indeed be a turning point for Cricket Zimbabwe.

So they are making this big fuss about having lights, but as far as I can see the latest games start at 3.30pm? How long does a T10 even last? Under 2 hours?

That's hardly 'night time' cricket is it.

They should have 4 different crews each responsible for their own light tower.
Winner becomes the new Board.

Ig they'll try 15 min breaks after every over drawing inspiration from the NFL
