Why are we touring countriers like Rwanda.
This country has popped upp to many times on our radar the last year.
Talk about low ceilings.

Try Mozambique, about to be a civil war and we played them :lol:

The only way is for Bulawayo to gain their independence and we play them 4 times a year.

It's good, in my opinion. This is a very young side, some 17 year olds. It'll be good for them. Rwanda hosting a tournament, put out some invites. Good for them. Looks like Zim have selected an appropriate side.

They just got smacked by Uganda A inside 13 overs so perhaps not.

1 win, 1 loss. Looks like a good level.

We know Uganda are quite competitive these days, and there were quite a few players in that side with a lot of senior experience. Good for the young Zimbo team.

This is good for the young academy side playing teams like Uganda. Great expose for the kids. Imagine Senzere is only 15 years old. What other way to uplift cricket in Africa. All the same I wonder how SA sides feel when playing our sides. I dont think the are all that keen on doing so. We may as well do the same for other up coming nationals. We might actually end up sending stronger teams to the African Cup.

Well we're not spolit for choice. We send teams south and they get smacked so badly there's not much to learn.

The Zimbabwean (Rhodesian) team that played in the Currie cup must have been really good mixing it up with the Transvaals and what not. The Ugandas of this world seems to be taking the game seriously and are definitely the up. That cant be a bad thing.
