That would be Bill Flower, Andy joined later on and Olonga played for then as well. Bill is one guy that doesn't get the recognition for the part he played in bring the game to the black community. Using his own resources for the most part.

No he didn't. If memory serves it was Makoni and Mangongo who were their main guys, but I stand corrected, don't really know their history. They played first league and were getting badly beaten most games. Flower recognised that they needed help and we needed black players coming through and went and joined them. He was that good that he made a difference. Also I think he gave them some self belief because it was partly a mental thing. His dad also came across, the great Bill Flower.

Takashinga was/is excellent. My beef is that there's only one club of that calibre. You can't pump Takashinga up when everywhere else is a fuck up and ZC are essentially funding it.

We've got a game on here. Another 50 runs gets us to 200 run lead and anything can happen.

And as I say that Gimu gives it away. Played pretty well.

Richie gives it away. Dunno why he always thinks his job is to come in and slog. These tail enders are denying Tsiga the opportunity of a well deserved 100

Mubayiwa is a genuine rabbit. Don't see him lasting.
Tsiga has to do something special to get his 25 runs.

The senior bowlers should have given Tsiga a better chance to get a century there. Fair play to him. He lasted a total of 46 and a half overs out there. I think thats enough for him to get at least 1 test in.

Are we getting the usual spin friendly conditions in Bangladesh or it will be something different?
