Nackers absolutely dominating again. His numbers are rude. Currently averaging 68 with the bat and 26 with the ball.

Burl an interesting one. Is Campbell really a better all-round cricketer? Could Burl have helped Zim win that test? You'd have thought he'd have a lot of work to do to play another test match though.

Shingi Masakadza back playing FC cricket only manages to bowl 8 overs for the day. Interesting to see William Mashinge continue with a bit of form. Hegot 59*, he is quite a handy allrounder now 28 with a few extra kilos.

Definite Mawadzi has an absolute beast of a slog sweep. 4 6s and counting, as the Goats close in on the Rocks 1st innings.

Downpour at Takashinga and groundstaff don't want to get wet and haven't put the covers on properly. That will be the end of this game unless it stops raining right now :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Matthew Campbell scored yet another half century opening the batting in this game. Great to see some of the younger lads putting their hands up. Myers, Munyonga, Campbell, Chitumbu has scored some good runs too. Big daddy hundreds are what will turn the heads of the selectors though!

For those in the know, is Matt Campbell a name to be taken seriously in terms of playing for the national side in the future?

Prediction : Matt Campbell will be selected for the Zimbabwe team before Welch Jr. is selected, as Mawoza is posting more about him than Welch Jr.

I see Kundai Matigimu us back. I wonder if that's temporary or permanent? He was expensive, but made a few runs.

I guess he'd be vying for a seaming all-rounder spot, but clearly needs to do something useful to get attention.

I haven't seen him play for a while, I wonder how quick he is?
