Match Thread: Free State v Zimbabwe Provinces (3-Day Match)

[Kopje]

Cremer is turning into quite the batsman. IMO, he is an automatic selection for the Test team, not only for his spin bowling (which I think is as good as Price's and better than Utseya's judging by all reports) but for his batting.

Imagine, Chigumbura at 6 and Cremer at 7 or vice versa. Such a strong lower order! In all likelihood Brent, Utseya and Price will bat at 8, 9 and 10. Wow.

I agree on the bowling, he is getting better

I see that cricinfo have finally come up with a scorecard for the 1 day game on sunday.

Mahwire and Muzarabani were replaced by Tsvanhu and Kamungozi with Rainsford taking over the captaincy.

Zim won the toss and put Free State in and they knocked up 273-6. Cremer was by far the best bowler with 9-1-31-4, Tsvanhu 1-58 from 6 and Rainsford 0-17 from 6.

Zim were 134-4 at the halfway stage but ended up 219-9 losing by 54 runs. Mujuru 57*, Cremer 40 and Nyamuzinga 33 were the only batsmen to make much headway.

Poor old Terry Duffin added a 1st baller to his 5 ball 0 and 24 ball 0 from the 3 day game, at least things can only get better for him .

Thanks for posting that.. I've been trying to get a scorecard out of Free State & ZC for a few days now. Four days to get a score confirmed is probably a new record..!

What about four months for the Faithwear scorecards
