Thanks. Fascinating. A few known names here. William Mashinge bowled 3 overs for 41!

Power Turbines (!!) were bowled out for 21, and some guy took 8-2!!!

Thanks gargamel. Is provencial cricket played every winter? Or is this a new concept?

8-2 is crazy! looks like southern rocks might be a bit too strong. a welcome development from ZC to give guys not in the national picture who also failed to get club contracts in the UK to get some game time.. Mashinge will definitely have to work harder.u19 level is nowhere near the real thing. he was batting at number 4 tho and got some runs so he might still have a future. don't know if I saw correctly but it looks like Alistair Maregwede is also involved. he has been MIA

Brand new development

These 6 provinces plus Harare (Eagles), Bulawayo (Tuskers), Manicaland (Mountaineers) and Midlands (Rhinos) make up all 10 of Zimbabwe's provinces.
