Club Cricket 2021-22 (Vigne Cup etc)

[ZIMDOGGY]

I noticed one of BT's sons plays cricket and he's only a nipper. I hope he's not tarnished before he's even started

Don’t think so, to his credit, and possibly the only credit, is that Mukhalani/Zolaky has mentioned before not to punish family members of players. He made a point to support streaks son and in that press release rant another point not to cast aspersions on the character of the flowers. He seems to have a ‘everyone responsible for themselves only’ mentality. Which is good.

ACHPP Rangers Vs Easterns @ Old Georgians
White Rhinos Vs Old Hararians 2 @ Old Georgians
Old Malvenians Vs Uhuru @ Prince Edward
Harare Sports Club Vs Glenshire @ Prince Edward


Always a bit of a lottery as to how this league transpires and whether it will be a good year or bad year in terms of organisation and quality. Let's see.

All the games are being live scored on their app.

Golden duck for Evans. Matthew Welch 31 not out playing for OH.

This is a great development. Fair play to ZC. No live scoring for the 2nd league, but it’s great we have even the 1st league.

The app suggests all four 1st league games are happening at Prince Edward, which is different to the fixture list I received. I doubt it, I think there’s only two squares there that are still playable?

No Vigne Cup stalwart Diplock today - maybe he’s finally given up on it.

I’m annoyed that Burl isn’t playing anywhere either. He’s in horrific form - he needs to be out in the middle. Surely someone would give him a game if he asked around. I don’t think he’s injured

Welch Jr going well for OH

Anyone know whats happening with 2nd league? I think Rangers played their game, but no scorecard?. Not sure if the other games happened or not. And no fixtures for this weekend have been circulated to the usual people yet.
