Opening post

Havent seen him bowl this season but from what i hear from other tusker players he has become slightly quicker.

Agree though he has to be given a shot, he takes wickets for fun at the moment.

Tuskers are unstoppable though for me this season

According to my online Shona translator "pedzisa" means "to finish off" (of course I have no idea if the extra "i" at the end changes the meaning significantly). It would be a good middle name for a strike bowler :D


the extra "i" changes it to an imperative, so Finish Off!, instead of finish off.

I find it funny how both Hamilton and Wellington are both named after cities in New Zealand and Shingirai is the odd one out :)

There are some funny names though for some of these ZIM players. 'Confidence' Mutumbodzi is my personal favourite 😂
