Yes indeed! Took a lot of time to frame this question! As soon as I saw that Musakanda had top scored for the team on his ODI debut, wanted to check who else achieved the same for Zim before. Obviously someone had to do it in our first ODI itself, and Fletcher scored that match winning 69. Andy Flower had a sparkling debut with 115 that turned out to be the top score for the team as well. Dekker debuted with a gritty 79, Malcolm Waller scored 24 and became the top scorer in that horribly low scoring game in BD that we won thanks to the heroics of him and Ray Price. Mutumbami debuted with a 64 in that fateful loss at home against Afghanistan in a series that indicated things to come vs the same opponents in future series as well as cost Taylor the captaincy. Musakanda did admirably this week to top the run charts with 36.

Lindsay Reeler, famous Australian cricketer, born in Northern Rhodesia...
Peterhouse U14C 4th change bowler and no. 10 batsman (but only because Aaron didn't have a bat).

Correct. Here's her profile: http://www.espncricinfo.com/australia/c ... 53564.html

An ODI average of 57.44! She also had 5 50+ scores in a row at her peak. Born in Rhodesia (Northern, of course, but in 1961, when it was still Rhodesia altogether)

481. With the start of the domestic season hopefully just around the corner, I've got a question about this gentleman, now a businessman in the financial sector living in Australia. He played in the Logan Cup for Mashonaland before it became FC; in fact I have it on good authority that he was the third generation from his family to do so (one member of the family having played FC for Rhodesia as well). You won't find his profile on cricinfo but there are a couple of scorecards for him on cricktarchive.

I also have a photo from his playing days which I will share with you in due time.

Who is he?

Then let's make it more easy. I've been toying with this question for a while, but when I recently went back to the photos and did another check I found that our man played in the same school's XI as one of the fellows in questions 470-472. Let's see if you can indentify him there :)
