Australia and Canada are like literally the only success stories after the Brits packed up and went home :lol: everywhere else, benevolent life presidents took it back to pre colonial times hearding goats with spears or some jazz and the murungu still gets the blame :lol:

ZC and its operations are glorified club cricket basically. Other than the central contracts there’s no indication it’s a professional sport. The ICC dollar will keep rolling in and all is good. The last three qualifiers showed the associates are better than us in the white ball game at least.

We’ve got the prestige of being a full member and never really play enough tests to show how bad we are. Sure, Ireland beat us in that last test; but it was away in English conditions and the first one in 18 months. This next year will lay our frailties bare.

HPC’s, bowling machines and Lasagne’s tape ball is all pie in the sky. It’s nothing more than a gravy train and we all know that.

Old knackers must be desperate for international cricket to get involved, he could be living a sweet life running a kebab shop and bossing the village circuit somewhere.

50 for Evans. Love it for him

PS: loving the passion the players are showing out there, appealing, celebrations, not as dull as past seasons.

Gumbie has done poorly this match but I back him to come good. He has had a phenomenal two seasons to be fair

Jeez anyone can have a shit game, or two, three or four :lol: Overlord is a great player.

Knackers hasn't got off to a great start either, and we all know how good he is.

Nice innings from Evans. Really good.
Fantastic return from Vinny. Those must be his best figures.

Mountaineers need a 350 run lead, I guess. Need a few overs at the Openers this evening. I'm sure that's the plan, but cricket doesn't go according to plan :lol:

I see MW not opening. Clearly that's not a good injury he's sustained.

Mangongo will send him out hobbled again and he will score another 75 at a run a ball 🤣

Superb knock from Craig. He must he kicking himself, I don't think he's had a double.

Rhinos have turned this game upside down in the last hour. Crazy old game
