Train Driver · Post by **Train Driver** » Tue Dec 15, 2009 8:40 am

The same weather in Harare, 18C and mostly cloudy, but play underway without a problem

Tuskers won the toss and put Eagles in to bat, the teams

Eagles : Chigumbura*, Butterworth, Chakabva, Garwe, Gupo, Hondo, Jarvis, Lamb, Masvaure, Mutizwa & Price

Tuskers : S Williams*, Coventry, Dabengwa, Ebrahim, Ewing, Meth, Mpofu, Mujuru, Mupariwa, Nyumbu & Strydom

Eagles off to a fairly good start with the 1st wicket just having fallen at 60-1 in the 15th over, Masvaure 33*, Gupo 21, Mupariwa 1-15

Tuskers fighting back

Eagles now 109-3 after 32.3 overs, Mutizwa 27* Lamb 2*

Gupo 21, Masvaure 47, Butterworth 5, Dabengwa 1-3, Mupariwa 1-15, Nyumbu 1-16

Eagles innings over with 236-4 on the board, Lamb 88*, Mutizwa 56, Masvaure 47

Some good tight bowling from Nyumbu 8-1-30-1 and Ewing 10-1-29-0, strange decision by Williams not to give any more overs to Mupariwa 5-2-15-1 though, especially as Mpofu 8-1-51-1 and Meth 8-0-48-0 got some stick

This is it for Tuskers now, 237 required or they will be the team sitting out the semi finals

Greg Lamb and Foster Mutizwa have really made a different for the Eagles this season. Two more contenders for national team places.

53/1 after 7 overs. If they lose this one, it won't be for lack of trying...

Masvaure has just made a breakthrough for Eagles, Tuskers now 71-2 from 12 overs

Ewing 46*, Ebrahim 0*, Williams 12, Mujuru 5, Masvaure 1-0, Garwe 1-23

166 still needed @ 4.36

They will certaintly be in the 15 man sqaud but will be intresting to see if they make it into the eleven.

I must admit, its been a painful season following Tuskers, when even your best player gets injured and struggles for form, this is bound to happen.

Already started looking forward to T20s to see if there is any change of luck.

I wouldn't claim to be more intelligent than the next man, but am i the only one who is amazed by some of the bowling changes these days ?

Hondo 7-2-11-1 and Masvaure 5-1-18-2 have the Tuskers batsman in a stranglehold, so Chigumbura takes them off

WHY

Tuskers 108-4, Ebrahim 19* and Strydom 3*, needing 129 more @ 4.77

No idea what cricinfo are up to

Tuskers are supposed to be 224-7 after 48.4 overs but Nyumbu and Mupariwa are now still to bat, opener Mujuru is 6* from 17 balls after batting through the entire innings and Mpofu is 24*

I think the rain must have affected the Harare Pigeon Results Service

Oh !! now it's 223-8 from 48.4 and Mujuru is out for 5 from 14 balls .............
