Have to agree that game time would have been a better option. Rhinos versus mountaneers would have been tougher than any practice match they could have organised. A lot of places are still on the line
Yeah 100% with both of you

Why is this match in Harare and not Mutare? Costs, logistics with players?? Be grateful if anyone local could explain.

Another one of the Pakistani's brilliance - "a home away from home".

Can't blame him. Pakistan play in the Middle East.

There were talks of improvements to the Mutare pitch and ground sometime back, which would have moved some games out of that ground. Is it due to that?

By the way, MASSIVE disadvantage for Hamilton Masakadza ahead of the WI series. He did not any get game time at all while everyone in the middle order did, and in addition, he would be pushed to open, which is not his preferred position in tests. And he would also be judged on his performances there. Cruel world.

i read somewhere that the Mountaineers are now Mashonaland this season, and the Eagles are Harare. The rising stars are based in Harare too, so only the Rhinos and Tuskers are based outside of the capital.

Just read today that the Rhinos are based at old hararians.. meaning that only Tuskers are not based in the capital.. must be a cost cutting measure

That's crazy! Kwekwe isn't that far away, and it is the third best ground in the country. :shock:

Anyone know anything about Trevor Gwandu, who's playing for the Rhinos?
Peterhouse U14C 4th change bowler and no. 10 batsman (but only because Aaron didn't have a bat).
