Vocal crowd in today. Currently bursting into song about their leader Zimfan1.

Things could get rowdy after a liquid lunch ;)

Glorious sunshine in Harare this morning. The groundstaff sitting idly on the boundary, sipping cold beers and enjoying the action in the middle.

Righto Flakeman's just been dismissed, thanks to the probing 6th and possibly last over of the spell by sloandog. Edged by Flakeman, who never looked confident all through the innings, and the keeper ZIMDOGGY fluffs it, only for the ball to go straight into the safe hands of CrimsonAvenger at the first slip.

2/35 after 11.

Black Mamba walks out to bat. A big ask for the young man with only a couple of U19s matches against Botswana under his belt.

Wait a sec, the umpires are asking Flakeman to hold on as they want to check the no ball.

Looks mighty close but it looks like Sloandog doesn't have anything planted behind the white line. Remember the line belongs to the umpire. And yes a no ball is given.

ZIMDOGGY is not impressed and makes his feeling well known to umpire Tiffin. He may find himself in the match referees room after the game.

Black Mamba will have to wait as Flakeman is given a life thanks to Sloandogs careless error.

Typical exuberance of the youth, sprinting towards the middle while the umpires were still checking the no-ball.

1/40 after 14 overs.
brmtaylor.com admin is warming up at mid on, willing captain Jemisi to throw him the ball. brmtaylor.com admin's part time right arm off spin could be crucial to ZCF's chances of dismissing ZCF A cheaply.
