I don't feel that interested in it to be honest but hopefully having lots of experienced international guys will help the youngsters. Will be interesting to see which Zim guys get picked up.

The players are really keen on it because there's some good money in it for the guys lucky enough to be picked. That's if they pay, of course. Will they bring the outstanding monies from last year?

As I said last time, it's a great spectacle. Three games on the trot is damned good fun and I'm sure we'll see some high quality cricket.

What annoyed me last time is that the local guys who were picked were the older ones with some name recognition e.g Regis, Cephas, Mpofu, Ervine.

I hope this year the likes of Bennett, Myers, Kataio get picked up. I'm sure Naqvi will make the cut.

Knackers has disappeared again, but I'm sure he'll be back for the T10.
Ya I dunno who will select the local players. We're going to see some wrong ones, take poison on that.

Hammy will be picked up, 100%.

Ah great, the annual Zim Afro Spot Fixing Festival is back!

Did the draft even take place today? It was supposed to be streamed but nothing was shown.

Interesting that ZC have not been promoting this tournament, something very strange is going on!
