Could be any other reason still. All we know is that tomorrows fixtures have mysteriously disappeared from cricinfo and also that Rocks were still in Masvingo/Harare as of quite late this afternoon/evening when usually they would have travelled to Mutare around lunchtime.

Word is that there are a number of positive Covid cases amongst players currently. Not sure which teams or who. Or how many.

That's really bad and makes sense to cancel the fixtures for now.

Young cricketers have got more chance of getting killed by a meteorite than by any form of covid.

As usual Zimbabwe will suffer a lot more than South Africa due to this travel ban and all.

African nations in general have been very slow on vaccination, that certainly doesn't help.

I've done some stupid s**t in my time, one thing I really regret is having had this vaccination. Hopefully the Sino capsule was full of water and not something vaguely resembling a vaccine. Its an absolute load of horseshit. We are headed towards daily booster shots for the muppets that buy into this, we need to thin the herd. You could tell these guys to run three times round the house barking like a dog and it will strengthen their immunity and they'd do it.

The next world war needs to be fought between mask wearers and non mask wearers. I'd have dealt with my quota before breakfast.

Yeah f***ing with the body’s immunity with an untested vaccine is just…. Risky. But yet the pressure to do this is just unheard of and it’s farrrrrked.

I got the vaccine myself just so I can go back to Australia and not be treated like a leper everytime I go kfc, but to hell I’ll be taking these boosters if I can avoid it.

This omicron is eating the delta and seems to be better so wtf is this fuss?

So the Eagles/Goats players warmed up at HSC and a toss took place, but apparently no match happened? That's an odd one. You'd think if it was Covid they would have known test results much earlier than that. I wonder what happened?

According to the press release, in a pre-match Covid test, four players from one (unnamed) team tested positive, so game abandoned.

Thanks. Weird that they found out the results or did the tests so late though. Abandoned literally just a few minutes before play was due to start?

Anyway hope all are well and test negative soon. The final is supposed to be next week so interesting to see if they rearrange, delay, or just hand each team 5 points.

Jonathan Campbell is doing OK in the one day format. Averaging 35 but not yet ready. We need some 'A' tours next year so that we can test people like Campbell, Makoni and Madande. The senior team would be too big of a jump

Just cos i cant see on cricinfo.

Does anyone know how old Campbell is?

He’s 24 later this month
