Re: Zimbabwe cricket quiz
Surely. Desai is certainly an Indian name. I gather Rhodesian cricket was less segregated than SA's when it comes to the inclusion of Asians, but they sure wouldn't pick a black African? So it must be post-independence.aydee wrote:Surely of India origin...hhm wrote:I've got Kishore Desai. CricketArchive, Cricinfo.
And of course it's not Bvute either
In fact the guy I'm thinking of has been at loggerheads with Ozias in the past while acting as an admin in one of the provinces himself.Re: Zimbabwe cricket quiz

Re: Zimbabwe cricket quiz
Almost forgot my own question here. I'll give you my answer, if anyone cares. The first black first-class cricketer in Zim was, to my knowledge, Ethan Dube, who later served as an administrator for Matabeleland.
After representing ICC Associate's Young Cricketers at the youth WC 1978/88 and a smattering of matches against touring sides that were not considered FC, he made his first-class debut at a most unusual venue: Headingley, May 16th 1990, against Yorkshire. http://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Score ... 52717.html
At least, that's what I think. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
