571. Who is the former promising Zimbabwe Academy all rounder, who was one of those many people that abandoned cricket as a career option just around the turn of the millennium?

John Vaughn Davies, bloody good batter

That's correct.

@sloandog,

1. Did you get to see him play live once he moved to UK? How was his bowling?
2. I checked out his stats and he probably could have been better than someone like Travis Friend if he had continued. Who knows? https://www.espncricinfo.com/zimbabwe/c ... 55828.html

He played against our club in 2009, in a regional cup game. From what I remember his bowling was useful, had a yard but certainly not 80mph material and nowhere near as sharp as Travis Friend. His batting stood out though, scored a rapid 66* at the end of their innings. I just remember his face very clearly because somebody pointed out he plays for Zimbabwe A or something

Seems an odd coincidence that I saw his name pop up on ESPNcricinfo as one of the ‘most recently viewed’ Zimbabwe player profiles on their site

Spooky

That's entirely possible because I have myself visited his profile 5-6 times in the last couple of days. So, quite possibly, there are so few visits to any Zimbo profile that even this stands out!

[sloandog]

Very good guess mate. The photo itself was taken during a tour from Ireland, in 1986. Check out the gallery below

Note Graeme Hick totting up a meagre triple century!

That is quite the gallery of photos, none of which I had seen before. Quite interesting to read about the tour here: https://www.cricketeurope.com/DATABASE/ ... 0499.shtml

I’ve finally had chance to read that.
I bet there’ll be some nostalgia there for a few ZCF members.
Wonder if our very own John Ward was present at these games

I noticed that too I guess CA is right, it's probably just 'cause there's so few visits to Zimbabwe player profiles. I visited Sean Williams' profile a couple of times today and his name popped up in that list too after some time!

Maybe we should put this theory to the test and find some random player no one will ever look at ?

Great idea! Stanley Marisa perhaps? https://www.espncricinfo.com/zimbabwe/c ... 55635.html

[jaybro]

He was actually in the most recent viewed players as well when I checked last
