The Kid should be called Luke great hands for a keeper for his age . I was irritated by his attitude which i think is some symptom of some bad habits passed on from the older guys. I kind of figured his attitude was a means to cope coz he got some nasty bowling and chirping comming his way when Rainbow played the Kings two weeks ago.

OHs woes continued this past weekend as the played OMs. Mark Vermuelen has apparently been banned again or it was "never lifted"? David Brent featured for OMs and apparently is playing 2nd XI county cricket im told in Eng.
After a bad wet mark on the pitch was ever present,OH lost the toss and were put into bat for a 40 overs game as the pitch was tended to. They lost Yaseer Parker early on for 6 caught behind. Cephas Zhuwao and Brandon Diplock then came in and steadied the ship with Zhuwao blasting 32 and then being caught on the boundary. Diplock played the anchor role as wickets fell around him. Credit must go to OMs left arm spinner Ed for some tight bowling. Diplock departed for 51 and OH were all out for 124.
OH started off well by Diplock removing David Brent in the 3rd or 5th over. Talent Munyoro didnt bowl as he had thought lunch was a bit too long and returned in the 10th over. Cephas Zhuwao bowled decently to get 3 wickets but took some tap. OMs scraped through though to win by 4 wickets. OH really needs to wake up.

Rainbow continued to push hard for their first Vigne Cup with a 7 wicket victory over a young Uprising side at Old Georgians.
Rainbow won the toss and elected to field which was justified with 3 quick wickets that set the tone for a quick win with Zhawi taking an impressive 2 for 9 in his six overs with the aid of Tino Mafusire getting a wicket upfront as he regains some late season form after a poor start to the season. Then entered the much famed Rainbow Left Arm off spin attack that saw Kuda Munyede grab a weekend best of 6 for 27 in his 8 overs has he accounted for and wrapped up the Uprisng tail. The Top scorers for Uprising were Chikomba and Dillon Hondo with 17 and 14 respectively as Uprising amassed 103 in 30
The rainbow run chase was set back early with the loss of two early wickets as the Rainbow Blitz lost two early wickets to Herbert Chikomba who reduced Rainbow to 11 for 2 at the Lunch with the loss of Mwenda and Njanji for 5 and Zero at the lunch break. The set back was halted by a 83 wicket stand between Bryt Mugochi and Garry Chirimuuta as they counter attacked with scores of 41(27) and *51(33) to lead rain bow to victory within 16 overs.
Memorable momments. 3 sixes in a row by Gary Chirimuuta.

Great stuff as ever gargamel.
So many left arm spinners around (although none in the A-team)
Who is the best/most-promising out of Masakadza, Chisoro, Munyede, Mugochi, Chikomba, Magarira?

In my opinion there are three but i am being biased as the club that i am with Rainbow is home to 4 of the countries best but all bring different aspects to the game
1. Mike Muguda - Excellent Variation , Big turner of the ball, Greatest captaining mind in the country, Cons - Needs to be a serious batsman ,Fitness issues a
1. Brighton Mugochi- Excellent Variation , Excellent in circle fielder , Handy aggressive batsman , Cons occasional loose ball, Durability in longer versions due to a dodgy knee, at times considered lazy
1. K Munyede- Pro's Economical, Accurate , highly athletic in the field and disciplned - Cons - Dosnt turn the ball as much but is effective, Action considered not durable for long format and needs to bat
Chisoro i rate as a late bloomer after what i thought was the end to his career at the Rocks and a horrid time in Australia as a left arm seamer he has remodeled himself as a spinner. Chisoros variation is what sets him apart from Welly and the rest near the national team.His quicker short bouncer is probably one of the best balls around at the momment. Chisoro also adds length to the batting line up and is one of the cleanest hitters of the ball who i rank in the top three ahead of as he trails Elton and Tino Mafusire and Cepahs Zhuwawo

I would do it in a heart beat and for free. Stats i follow as at our club we use it as a means of showing players that they are not up to scratch and who their competition is for positions at franchise and national level.

The league standard Readers or CK balls cost between 15 and 20 bucks its just that ZC had made a promise that they would give first league teams balls which they have tried to and delivered but i would rather be given my full allocation rather than collecting a ball on Saturday

Sorry one last word- that's less than a dollar per player! There's a mentality of relying on ZC which has failed every time. If you can't cough a couple of dollars between 24 players to stage a game then there's not much point. We've gone from demanding $10 or $20 bucks "appearance" money to having to pay to play but still no-one is recognizing this fact. Most sports cost money to play and cricket is no different. Everyone stands with their hands out. I accept that times are hard but if you can't afford a buck then definitely don't play because that implies you haven't had any food and you're also hungry and not going to have the energy levels to give of your best. I don't want to carry on with my negativity but this place doesn't make it easy to be anything other than that.

Kings fall to Shingi Masakadza blitz.
In a top of the table clash the Katundu Kings were undone by a jaw dropping display of hitting exhibited by Shingi Masakadza. Masakadza benefited from a solid platform laid by young opener Tinashe Kanhukamwe 59(58) and Innocent Kaia 66(90) at 3 who put on 120 for the first wicket after the early fall of Tinashe Panyagaras wicket to Tendai Shereni. The fall of the second wicket opened way to one of the most aggressive innings in Vigne cup cricket with Shingi Masakadza blazing 153 of just 67 balls as he warms up for the domestic T20. The pyrotechnics saw 18 sixes in the innings that propellled Takashinag 2 to 330/6 in their 50 overs. The pick of the Kings bowlers was Tenda Shereni who picked up 2 for 79 in his 9 overs with Nathan Waller bowling for the first time with figures of 1-15-off his 2 overs.
The Kings chase didnt get going as they were skittled out for 124 in 22 overs with a top score of 39 from Bekker. Pick of the bowlers was Zawari who picked up 3 -21 in his 6 overs.

Chikomba leads the way in Win over Old Malvernians
Herbert Chikomba put in an allround performance as Uprising pulled off a 24 run win over Old Malvernians at Prince Edward in a low scoring scrap. Uprising set 180 in their 49 thanks to a middle order revivial led by Ngoni Mupamaba 45(70) and Alois Tichana 38(67). The 103 run partnership setup the platform for a finisher performance from Chikomba as he flayed his 35 runs off just 21 balls with able support Artwel Nyambanje witha run a ball 20. Uprising were set back thanks to an inspired and personal best performance by Shadreck Shawarira who grabbed 6- 17(9) with able support received from 16 year old Austin Scot and the spin duo of Bhasikoro and Josephs to reduce uprising to 180.
The Old Malvernians runs chase as has been the case all season failed to get going with early and quick losses of wickets as Chikomba took on the challenge of opening the bowling with immediate sucess with his third ball. The fall of wickets was halted thanks to a 80 run partnership between returning legends Ishmael Senzere and Chaka Nziradzemhuka. The spirited chase was halted by some clever field sets and willy bowling by Ngoni Mpamba as the chase was doused out by a fitter and younger Uprising side.

Rainbow keep cruising with 7 Wicket win over OH
The return of Mark Vermulen to the OH battling line could not stop an inspired Kuda Munyede to bowling figures of 5 for 50 in 10 as Rainbows bowling unit restriced OH to 138 in 38 overs. OH got to a slow start as Eagles trio of Zhawi and Aliseni and Mafusire strangle OH to 18 runs in the first ten overs. Tino Mafusire had the early breakthrough accounting for Yasser Parker for 9 which brought in Cephas Zhuwao.Zhuawao and Vermulen set about tryng to get the score board ticking with some lusty blows as Zhuwao score a quick fore 61 of 34 balls before becomming Munyedes first victim. Vermulen who had been scratchy to begin with tried to break the shackles when he hit Munyede for six before falling to Munyede for 34(65). The OH stand petered out through a number of poor shot selection choices and some excellent ground fielding with a stunning run out by Bryt Mugochi.
The Rainbow chase got off to a Tornado start with boundaries as Bryt Mugochi and Ash Mwenda raced to 62 in the first five overs before Mugochi fell for 48 in 13 balls. Talent Munyoro and Kuda Chirume fecthed in one over 17 runs. The runs remaining runs were knocked off by Gary Chirimuuta and Robertson Chinyetere as the game was over within 12 overs.

So Vermeulen is finally back, and a few guys have obviously put in some extra hitting practice.
Thanks for the reports, gargamel.
