Some familiar faces! Is there 3 Goodwin brothers?
Over 50s World Cup squad
Re: Over 50s World Cup squad
George is the dad and then Murray, Darryl and Brian are the sons.
Brian is a great bloke, always having a laugh and in the thick of things. Lift probably doesn't go to the top floor
Jayden is son of Murray
Darryl was a very good cricketer as well.

Re: Over 50s World Cup squad
I assume Darryl and Brian still live in Zim?
Jayden hasn’t been able to crack the WA side this year, played a lot of 2nd XI though.
Re: Over 50s World Cup squad
I think they're all in Aus now.
That break Jayden took to follow his religious calling (Mormon?), makes an already difficult sport to crack even more so. If you recall he was supposed to come here but the covid scam put that on hold, so he went up North and did his year there. The youngest guy to ever get a WA contract.
I'm a bit confused, I don't recall them being Mormons when they were here. Murray and Jayden are, maybe Murray married into it? Or they all were, but were non practicing?
There were a few Mormons kicking around Zim in the 80's, and obviously there's a few left if Jayden was going to come out here. He would have been a useful addition to our cricket. I'd guess its not completely off the cards, the lure of international cricket for a good player is strong.

Re: Over 50s World Cup squad
Congrats on the honourable mention.
He's a bit behind the times on what is happening with our cricket. That applies to quite a few ex Zim and club cricketers. They like to reminisce and all, but don't actively follow our cricket. I don't think they could even name 11 current cricketers, we don't need to send scouts into the bush to find the next Henry.
He rightfully pointed out that we've always lacked depth.
That would have been some neat footwork getting SRC approval to represent Zim without the inclusion of any black players. Henry Olonga was our first black international player and he is only 46.
