James Bruce destroying the Rising Stars.

Can Zim do anything right? Created a new profile for him calling him Bruce James...never cease to amaze.

The fact that Aarsh Jha, Ziwira, Akram are playing FC cricket ahead of Hondo and Diplock is astounding. It’s a massive slap to their faces. Those three don’t even make 1st league sides.
Ya absolutely diabolical. Two steps forward and three backwards. Clueless. Someone should look into this.
Are they pretty average?

This is a big step up for some of these guys clearly.. their bowling is the only thing that's going to be saving them and unfortunately Mumba isn't playing today. If Burl and Musakanda fail, they will always be in serious trouble. I guess it's a real learning curve for them. It is only their first game

Batting fragility really showing here. Only Burl (so far) and Muskanda looking even close to comfort.

The ZRS being schooled here. Now begs the Question what kind of opposition were they blowing apart in the Uk and was the project even worth it. If their participation in the Logan Cup is Graduation day then its really starting off on a bad note. Hope they pick up from here.

Cricinfo has listed TV umpires for both the matches. Are these matches being telecast? :o :o

I don't trust anything on Cricinfo now. They've got an Eagles logo for Tuskers, Bruce James making his debut.

Cricinfo are truly a bunch of useless.

I don’t think anyone is expecting the RS to be too competitive early on and I will hold my judgement until the end of the season to see how these guys have progressed.

We all know Tary & Burl are good batters but if by the end of the season young Tinashe & Taffy have scored some runs then we achieved something.

I really want Mashinge to do well from what I’ve seen of him he’s got a good attitude very competitive

Doesn’t look like Moor is keeping which is a bad move by him
Mayavo is regarded by most, if not all as the best gloveman in the country. I think a lot of development will be put into him this season.

Do you think he has the skills to turn into a half-decent batman in the forseeable future?

Looks like Chisoro is playing for the rhinos. I must say this is a strong rhinos squad this year. Hopefully Chisoro steps up and gives Streak no choice but to pick him
I think Chisoro might not be the answer for the 2nd spinner...Hey look at Cremer stats compared to Chisoro facing the same guys...
Hearth Streak probably knows what he is doing leaving out Madziva, Panyangara & Chisoro...
