live coverage on cricinfo http://www.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/curre ... 24018.html

Dylan Higgins has been singed up by the Rhinos what a coup by Andy Waller

and one Duncan Robertson any one heard of him? http://www.cricinfo.com/ci/content/curr ... 30707.html

I wonder if hes the son of former first class player Colin Robertson as the dates and birth place certainly fit http://www.cricinfo.com/zimbabwe/conten ... 55717.html

Good to notice young players are coming through the franchise system...

Also congrats to P Chatora, T Chitara, B Katsande and J Maudzi who are all making there mountaineers debuts today. Be intresting to see how they perform.

Rhinos 89/5 already. Who are they, and what have they done with the real Rhinos?!

I'm not really sure who is left in the Rhinos cupboard, Taylor and Cremer i expected to be in Bangladesh, but not Waller, now we have Rainsford and Mugochi missing from this match as well, the Mountaineers spinners, Maruma and Mushangwe, are running through Rhinos with little problem and there's a Rhinos side full of seamers ......

105-6 in the 31st and nobody left except Mire

We give a lot of (justified) criticism to ZC over the availability of scorecards, etc. So credit where it is due, it is very impressive to have live coverage of this game. Hopefully this is not a one-off, and one day, might be available for all domestic games.

I'm told that's the intention. May turn out to be easier said than done, though - we'll see...

No prizes for guessing who's in charge at the moment.

Rhinos are obviously not very good at climbing mountains, 136 all out from 44.1 overs and saved only by Innocent Chikunya with a maiden 50 and a couple of 20's from Solomon Mire and Friday Kasteni, Timycen Maruma the destroyer again with 6-40 and a couple of wickets each for Natsai Mushangwe and Shingi Masakadza.

Mountaineers have an inexperienced side as well, so we'll see if the Rhinos bowlers can fight back.

Timycen Maruma the destroyer again with 6-40

This youngman definately has something special. And by no means I am not a Mountaineers supporter. But such exploits difficult to ignore. How long will the Selectors sideline him from the National side?
