Didn't have a good Pro50 but he might end up with a Logan Cup cap later this week after that club performance. It's Tuskers though, so it probably depends how deep his pockets are 😂

7 wickets @23 is not too bad. Batting never got going.

Of course Naqvi got a hundred 😂

Vigne Cup finally underway. Seriously strong lineups in the OH vs Rangers game up at Wingate today to kick things off

What is the ground at Wingate like?

I’ve still not been up there myself since it opened. Googly might know more

Anyone know what’s happened at Uprising recently? Today they only managed to field 7 players, not including most of their regulars, and they were ‘all out’ at 46-6 :shock:

For one of the biggest clubs and NPL regulars I’m suspecting some drama has happened at the club?!?!

We get some forum posters sometimes asking about what our club cricket is like. Well this is one of the strongest Vigne matches for a few years

OH - with three of the Pakistani overseas seamers;
