Once Franks and Ballance arrives we will be easily the strongest side.

Nice to see Ian Nicolson start well for the Rhinos. An opening attack of Nicolson and Rainsford with Murbanzi to back then up will be difficult to handle.

I see T.Benade is in the squad.Anyone has any idea if he has any experience of playing in England or Australia?
It is important to stand up for what is right.

Not that I'm aware of. Played a few matches for Zimbabwe Cricket Academy before things went to pieces in 2004, nothing since then.

Sorry for putting it in this thread but just wanted as many people to hear it as possible.

Good recovery by the Rhinos, good to see Malcolm Waller start the season in good form after a terrible 2009/10 season. He will have to score big runs in order to challenge for a place in the Zimbabwe "A" series against New Zealand "A".
