Logan Cup Round 6 (Eagles v Mountaineers & Tuskers v Rhinos)

Chigumbura has now matched Taibu's wickets tally for the season.

Mountaineers thinking well this time and declaring on 9 down to deny a point to Eagles. 2 points each earned by Mountaineers and Rhinos so far, and nothing yet for Eagles, and one for Tuskers. Unfortunate that none of Maruma, Moor or Masvaure went on to get that 150+ score and a point for their team. Moor missing out by just 11 runs.

Will the weather hold up for outright wins for the Rhinos and Mountaineers?

By the way, first FC 5 wicket haul for one of our own - yes, Shane Musekwa, a ZCF member: search.php?author_id=583&sr=posts

Congrats Shane! If you are reading, here's wishing many more!

This is sensational! Shingi Masakadza who was not even a regular in the XI this season, comes into this match to replace Chatara and gets a hat-trick that includes Chibhabha and Chigumbura! :o :o :o

The guy's still got it!

Right, so Tuskers have just avoided the follow on. It will have to be extraordinary turn of events for them to lose this match from here. Eagles do not look like winning their match too, they must be happy if they can draw this.

Come tomorrow, Mountaineers could win the Logan Cup with a match to spare at this rate...

Could Prince open the batting in Tests ??

That's not a bad idea to get him into the XI, but he is actually one of the better players of spin in the country. So middle order would be better, but that is crowded. I still think Raza opening with Hamilton is not a bad idea and Prince can slot in at 6.

Let us see when we play a test next. Who knows who is around and who is not by then...

Craig was a bit late on the scene and has sat out for various reasons.

Williams has sat out for more reasons than I have posts.

Frustrating to see that the domestic 4 Day Comp is coming to an end just when it appears that the quality is getting better. The more you play the better you get, it's not rocket science.

So, Mountaineers are the champs again! A hat-trick of titles. Makorokoto!

Last round for Eagles and Rhinos. Mountaineers and Tuskers have to still play the postponed fixture later (hopefully).

Eagles on 26 points, Mountaineers on 25 and Rhinos on 24. Rhinos could maximize their points against the hapless Tuskers. This round could decide the direction in which the silverware is headed.

Still no Burl sadly

Looks like this is the end of the road for Mawoyo as a player. Hasn't managed anything of note despite playing multiple matches this season. Definitely a brighter future awaits in other aspects of the game...

If PJ Moor goes on in this innings he'll top the run charts for the season, obviously the Tuskers and Goats have a game in hand so either Maruma, Chari or Ervine could catch him.

Tiripano again topping the wickets list

Have the pitches eased out and become more batsmen friendly as the season progressed or have the batsmen gotten better with every match they have played?

Maruma has come into the scheme of things and has taken off like a rocket, compared to others.
