I wonder if he will give cricket a crack? His brother is supposed to be even better.

You would have thought so? Every chance he would be in and around franchise cricket before the end of the year.

From what I have seen, I think I like the look of Ronan more than Dhruv though.

Is it me or are the games a bit more competitive this year? Perhaps the players are better spread out between the sides. Last year there were some real thrashings.

Nick welch struggling too much to gets runs in the board.

[secretzimbo]

It’s about 9 months now since he last scored a run I think. Terrible form.

How many active cricket players do we have in Zimbabwe? I’m assuming each club has maybe 20 guys so that’s about 300 players. Then there are the clubs which aren’t playing in the NPL. So is 500 a fair estimate?
