[Train Driver]

Rocks 63-4 from 26.5 overs at lunch

Chibhabha 34*, Chinouya 2-8, Mugava 1-6, Madziva 1-15

[totoro]

Mark Vermeulen has been left out of the rocks side, I hope he hasn't been acting out again.

[Train Driver]

Rocks in big trouble at tea

127-7 with Chibhabha 74 and Chinyengetere 18 the only batsmen to reach double figures

Chinouya 4-13, Mugava 2-20, Madziva 1-23

Good point about Vermeulen, i thought there was a name missing from their XI

[jimbo]

Maragwede thinks he is playing in a 10 day match with his strike rate, he will run out of partners soon. Get a move on kid

[Train Driver]

Just to show how unbiased we Rhinos supporters are, i'll just say bad luck old chaps to Rocks and well done boys to Rhinos

Rocks 150 all out, Chibhabha 74, Chinyengetere 18, Panyangara 14

Chinouya a career best 15.4-8-26-5, Mugava a career best 16-7-30-4, Madziva 1-23

Just hope that another quality seamer is going to come from Midlands . Goes to prove that Harare is not the only area capable of producing quality players . Having Gillepsie at Rhinos has always been a plus .

I'm going to watch out for that name - his figures here are phenomenal, I hope he can do well in the 2nd innings.

I think, in terms of talent, we've always had some but now we have a mechanism for discovering and nurturing it. That's the only way we can compete internationally - it's not about the few players in red, it's also about the provincial players toiling away quietly on a Monday afternoon in Masvingo.

True that boundary if we are going to be strong international we shuld have a strong domestic league or structure _ it is interestin to note that the bowler that have shown are nt part of the Test team Chinouya Panyangara n s masakadza These guys should b part of a functional Zim A squad that can be a deep reservoir Wat happened to the Idea of touring sides play a full first class warm up games against a Zim X1 select These games cn be played in Mutare Masvingo or Kwekwe were they do not get international cricket
