More runs for Taylor and Kasteni with Cremer, Mire and Muzarabani chipping in for Rhinos while Masvaure, Chigumbura, Rogers and Mutizwa hit back for Eagles, a few good bowling spells but no stand-out performances with the ball.

Talking of Barney Rogers, i see in the cricinfo report of yesterdays game

http://www.cricinfo.com/zimbabwe/conten ... 27113.html

that he is supposedly only playing in limited overs games.

that he is supposedly only playing in limited overs games.

Well, for all we know, this could possibly be another "lift" from ZCF, this is what zimfan1 was speculating a while ago... : http://zimcricketforums.com/viewtopic.p ... t=10#p9821



Whatever it is, if this is true, this certainly doesn't augur well for his future Zimbabwe selection, which we were hoping for.

Good to see Admire Manyumwa making an appearance in this match

Good to see Greg Lamb back in form !

There were indeed some individual performances from most of the players.

Another good performance by Forster Mutizwa. He should definitely feature in the Zimbabwean national side having got the reward of his excellent domestic performances.
