[zimfan1]

Have the Mountaineers ever won the Logan Cup?

Have the Mountaineers ever won the Logan Cup?

Not as Mountaineers, and not as Manicaland, but twice in their former incarnation as Easterns in 06/07 and 08/09.

I think Midlands/Rhinos/Centrals and of course Masvingo/Rocks have never won it.

Things don't look to be ending well for my poor Rocks.

Some of the young guns are in for a reality check, now that the senior guys are back. Hami tearing into Jongwe, Vusi hitting Chimhamhiwa out of the attack in the other match. Last week Vitori blowing Rocks apart.

Well done to Hami - 19th FC ton and 27th overall. Moves past Curran into outright 6th on the centuries list for Zim players.

What is the full list out of interest?

I imagine the flowers and Goodwin top the table

[Jemisi]

1. Goodwin - 87
2. A Flower - 61
3. Davison - 60
4. G Flower - 36
5. Taylor - 33
6. Hami - 27
7. Curran - 26
8. Johnson - 24
9. S Ervine - 21
10. Campbell - 20
11. Houghton - 19
11. Vusi - 19
13. Taibu - 17
13. Vermeulen - 17
15. Wishart - 16
16. Carlisle -15
16. Penney - 15
18. Whittall - 12
19. Mutizwa - 11
20. Marillier - 10
20. Matsi - 10

That is everyone in double figures, includes those Rhodesian or Zim players at FC level but does not include those who were born in Zim/Rhodesia that have gone on to play for another international team, such as Hick, Ballance etc.

[Jemisi]

Massive innings by Hami in terms of size and speed.

This young kid Musorokewa from the rocks has taken a few wickets here anyone know much about him ??

[foreignfield]

The three Masakadzas are playing together for the first time in a FC match (yet they didn't get to bat alongside each other). I'm pretty sure three brothers this is a Zimbabwean record (?), but I have no idea if four or more brothers have appeared in the same FC match anywhere else.

Mushangwe is again swinging the willow to good effect. He is establishing himself as a legitimate lower order biffer and has now smashed as many sixes (9) as Taylor in as many matches. Only Chari has more (10 from four more matches) which comes as a bit of a surprise to me, given his reputation as a rather dour opening bat.
