South Africa Emerging Tour

Frost looks organised.

Mavuta always plays well - bat and ball - on this ground.

Awad Naqvi playing ahead of Antum?

At least cricinfo says so.

Btw another failure for Nick Welch when it matters.

It’s Antum. Use the ZC app, it’s always more accurate than cricinfo.

Lol, yeah, they have corrected it now. Poor outing for Antum though.

Mavuta has done well. Being a leg spinner he is an attacking bowling option. I hope he kicks on from here and becomes a good all rounder. ZC desperately needs a genuine all rounder.

50 for Frost. A bit of respectability after the nightmare first hour.

Ugly swat to leg-slip sees him off about 8 seconds after I post this.

Bowlers saving face for the emerging side. All our batters failing very disappointing. Kudos to Frost, Mavuta and Masuku.

Zimbabwe Emerging post 216 in the first innings.

That's a lot better than 31-5. So last 5 wickets put on almost 180

Yet another sorry scoreline this for a Zimbabwe team.

He's from the UK. No idea about him beyond that.

Yes! I remember him being discussed in another thread. Thanks

Hopefully he does well.

So Mazonde looks fairly quick.

He seems to be from Bradford, which is very literally down the road from where the other Zim 'U25' squad is playing today near Leeds. Why they would fly him out to play for this side when he could play for a Zim side locally is anyones guess. weird. I suspect theres quite a lot of internal politics and competition between some big dogs going on in ZC currently. This kid is clearly someone Mangongo knows or has scouted.
