[Logan Cup 2017 Round 3] Tuskers v Rising Stars

[zimfan1]

Not much urgency from Burl or Byrom. 35 runs from 24 Overs.

[Googly]

Very slow. It’s obviously not that easy out there. Anyway Byrom on 150, just a lucky day, Pariah
They’re miles ahead and I’m sure will declare shortly. Maybe they’ll give him half an hour to try and get 200?

[zimstarr]

100k over what period?

Over 4 years

[Googly]

25k a year. I’m sure he’s getting that in Pounds right now, and if he does well they will double that in 2 years time, plays 30-40 games a year against some serious opposition, top quality coaching, probably a housing and travel allowance, t&s, full kit sponsorship, what have I forgotten? The lad has a professional county contract at 20 years of age. It’s hard to beat.

Yea we need to accept this. He won't be passing up on that just yet, me thinks

ZRS on the verge of their first ever First Class win

Pace bowlers Ngarava & Muzarabani improving figures every week

Taffy now making runs

Byrom killed it

Mavuta doing well with bat & ball

Mashinge has done well

I thought this was the biggest mistake in ZC history ?

[Zero76]

And RS get the job done, five wickets to Muzarabani.

[aydee]

Yes Team Train Wreck!

Dominant performance. Comfortable win even without Byrom's inclusion, as (let's face it) he is a bit of ringer.

[CrimsonAvenger]

Great show by the Rising Stars! Onwards and upwards...

Going quite nicely, isn't it?

I think the key will be to ensure that this initiative is continued consistently. So that youngsters coming out of the U19s know that there is a pathway they can follow. Without ZRS, if they don't immediately make a franchise squad (and some of those squads have a lot of experienced players inked in), then what do they do?
