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.
They played together in an FC matcch for the first time against the Eagles on 29th March, had quoted that then: http://zimcricketforums.com/viewtopic.p ... 622#p63148

Shingi and Wellington did bat together there: http://www.espncricinfo.com/zimbabwe-do ... 91441.html

The Rocks putting a decent fight here with their two best players at the crease.

Richmond goes to his fifty and I'd say an average of 30 for the first time in his career.

Whoever comes out on top in this battle for the national team gloves between Regis and Richie, the other would be really really unlucky to miss out. Outstanding season for both!

From what I have seen I would say Richmond is a better keeper

While Chakabva has looked more the part as a Test batsman - but only by a whisker; Mutumbami's 29 against Pakistan was every bit as good as Chakabva's 63 in Napier.

Regis is definitely a more complete batsman and probably the best technique in the country behind Vusi Sibanda. But as the latter has shown, and Matsi, technique might not guarantee success at top level. But Regis does seem to possess a good temperament too.

Richie has that fighting spirit you would love in a team man, and yes, as a keeper, looks better. But we haven't seen Regis the keeper this year.

Yes, I would still go for Richie as the keeper, but Regis can break in as a pure batsman.

I think Chakabva has overtaken Waller at this stage. There's still stiff competition for middle order spots though. Not enough room to have Raza, Williams and Chakabva in the same team.

Is everyone certain that the Rocks are finishing?
