Mountaineers winning the cup must be a formality. Or can Tuskers overhaul the lead if the Stars can do them a favour by beating the Goats?

Does anyone even care with the XIs as they are... :?

Not even Chatara playing this round, so absolutely no centrally contracted player turning out.

There is no "non - centrally" contracted white players in all the franchises :) representing in Logan Cup or Pro 50, once resumed after the qualifiers

Club Cricket in UK getting more preference then domestic cricket
Veteran
I've never even heard of half of these guys :?

Whatever happened to Mark Mbofana of the Rhinos?

Ngoni Mupamba gets hundred on FC debut. Who was the last Zim player to do so? Don't think there are many...

Mayavo seems to have improved his game, we’re seeing some consistency from him now.

I noticed it too. Could it be due to the confidence he would have gained by being with the national squad when he was selected for the WI test series? Both Streak and Taibu clearly went on record to say he is currently the "best" wicket keeper in the country, but has work to do with the bat and that they would be monitoring his progress closely. That was probably the spark he needed to get inspired?

Look the bowlers they're facing the level just isn't high enough to take anything from these scores

Yes, but even then, we are noticing better consistency from the likes of Mayavo and Tsiga, compared to, say, a Musakanda. What does that tell about Musakanda then?

Yeah, Tari has been weak against weak attacks.

Mayavo has certainly improved. To where? Who knows.

What to make of the Don? He keeps scoring runs.

The bowling attacks are very weak but it is also a really bad look for Tari I will admit that. He should be standing out. Consistency is also hard to achieve even against weaker opponents

Ngarava has good figures 4-73 off 26 overs.

I’ve been crucified in here before about questioning the temperament and overall skill of Tari, imo he’s a long way off being a test batsman, a few flashy 20’s and 30’s against Sri Lanka doesn’t make you a test batsman. I think a few people got carried away regarding Tari.
Veteran
I know Tiripano's batting has improved a lot, but him scoring 121 at a strike rate of over 80 just shows how bad the standard of the competition has become.

How come there aren't a few random white players in these Logan Cup squads? Surely there's some club journeyman SOMEWHERE who rolls his arm over for fun and is happy to take a few days off work to get a Cricinfo page? The U19 guys? I find it hard to believe, to be honest.
ZCF Hall of Famer
Why?

I told you there’s nobody. Maybe only guy was Diplock.

There’s no one in Club cricket either, it’s over here.
Veteran
Tari has potential and a real desire to succeed---he needs to be mentored and managed properly to get his full potential.

In ZC speak that now probably translates to manage his money into my bank and mentor him in how to do that to others.

I would persevre with this youngster.

True. Or he might switch to Rugby if ZC continues on this path. He was a really handy rugby player too and they seem to be getting their house in order with sponsorships and good admin now. He has natural talent which I think is a key asset. With time he will get much better.

There is a boozers league which has scorecards on CricHQ, quite a lot of familiar names pop up.

Another 50 for Donald when seasoned guys like Mawoyo are struggling. Im impressed. I remember Vusi in the commentary team last year saying Donald opens for his club sometimes. Makes sense.
