So they've had about 10 club games, then 11 NPL 50 over games, then 8 T20'S, then 8 four day games, then 8 list A then 8 T20's.
That's good volume.

Seems like Rangers have now added Burl and both Welch's from OH to their already lengthy batting list. Struggling to see how everyone plays. They also have Ervine, Bennett, Marumani, Mudzinganyama, Basson, both Campbells, Jayden S, and plenty of others.
Every chance they win the league, which won't go down well and I'm sure they'll be up against every trick in the book. It is what we need though. It will p**s everyone including Takashinga off hugely and that's precisely what the club game needs.

Bowling isn't bad either with Evans, Falao, Banks, Macheka, Schonken and several all rounders.

Who're Banks and Basson. Surely a replacement for Streak and Flower....

Interesting to note that Basson was going to go on the 2018 Rising Stars tour before ZC scrapped it in their paddy about missing out on the qualifiers.

Apparently Takashinga have submitted a complaint about the Old Georgians pitch - as have the umpires. The claim is that Rangers ‘sabotaged’ the match.
The claim is that Raza is a doubt for the first India T20 after getting injured ‘due to the pitch’.
A lot of runs made on a pitch that is no good.

Takashinga better get Ozias Bvute to come and dig up the pitch.
My All-time Zimbabwe XI
Neil Johnson, Brendan Taylor, Murray Goodwin, Andy Flower (w), David Houghton, Sean Williams, Heath Streak (c), Andy Blignaut, Paul Strang, Eddo Brandes, Blessing Muzarabani

Raza left one that hit him on the elbow.
Why would they deliberately prepare a dangerous pitch when they have to face Chivanga and Muzarabani on the same deck? That would be stupidity at its finest. Matt Campbell wore a good one as well.
Most pitches in Zim are below average anyway, spicy in the morning and flatten out later.
Raza may have hurt himself running around appealing coercing umpires into s**t decisions. There's one of our big problems. These umpires are shite. In fairness to them they gave Takashinga some s**t decisions as well.
They have a national curator- he should inspect the pitches and condemn the s**t ones BEFORE the game. We wouldn't play many games.
I really hope Takashinga management don't turn this into something it isn't.
All eyes on how they manage their internal games between Takas 1, 2 and Gladiators to engineer a league win.

Prize money will be dictated by who wins. 15k if its Takas and 500 if its another team 😂

Seems to be a very poor pitch at OG though... Raza hit badly first ball. Not sure if this will go the distance.
I did mention this at the time.
Looked like there was a dodgy spot back of a length at one end. Some genuinely dangerous deliveries coming from there.

Nearly a huge shock as strugglers Scorpions nearly beat league leaders Gladiators today. Nkosilathi Nungu with an incredible 8/51 but Gladiators just about managed to come out on top to stay at the top of the table.

Good to see Welch has found some form again. Big domestic season ahead for him

Good to see his form finally pick up. Hopefully he carries it into the new domestic season.
