They actually got some decent guys. They must be paying well. Got a feeling they will get some decent crowds over the weekend with the lights. This format might actually be attractive to the "new" or "casual" fan which if I'm being honest we have a lot right now.

Want to watch Donovan Ferreira and Evin Lewis have a go. the SAMP army probably got the best Zimbabwean picks. Marumani, K-Long, Hami and Cephas are not bad picks for this format. Add Wiliams and Ngarava to that list and you actually have a decent Zim core

I will watch Cephas with great interest. These bowlers don't give you many hit me deliveries.
Bopara and Patel are great examples. They might get hit for a couple from Cephas if they don't know him and then he's done, he won't get another in his areas.

I think Samp Army will dominate, they have some box office overseas players along with Williams and Ngrava

Hilton Cartwright is an interesting addition. I wonder if Houghton will get in his ear

He'd be silly if he didn't

Ya Ravi Bop was statistically England’s best white ball bowler for a period. Him and Samit are right dodgy characters but back it up on the field.

Tymal Mills is a good bowler if his glass back holds up.

Didn’t we have a t10 last winter or is that a figment of the imagination?! 120/130 par. Ball or two to get your eye in then tee off time.

We did and yes 120 was a good score. Maru, Mutumbami and Cephas were the best players. I'm surprised Mutumbami didn't get a gig. Chibabha too :lol: thought they would have called in a favour

The boundary rope is well in got a feeling Cephas will tee off. Maruma as well. It doesn't make sense until you see them teeing off live at the sports club but trust me they are deadly. I think what I'm looking forward to is seeing if our local "bullies" can tee of against decent opposition. That is enough to convince me to watch
