[Howsie]

Yeah getting the franchises set-up is a massive step forward.

 

[Amiya]

I am happy to see that Zimbabwe's cricket is coming back to its path. I wish they will soon start playing competitive games and will be back to international level. And ya, good to see a Zimbabweian fan here.

 

[Howsie]

Apparently the Southern Rocks team have signed Ian Harvey to play in the domestic 20/20 tournament which starts next week. It would be great for the development of the Zimbabwe domestic competition if each team were able to sign up guys like Harvey to play in the 20/20 competition. Heck, it might even get them a chance of playing in the CL.

Vermeulen fired by Mountaineers

Batsman Mark Vermeulen has lost his contract with Zimbabwe domestic franchise Mountaineers. While the circumstances of Vermeulen's exit are not entirely clear, reports in local newspapers suggest his relationship with the franchise broke down after he was handed a three-match suspension for angrily contesting two decisions in a Logan Cup match against Mashonaland Eagles at Mutare Sports Club last month.

According to Mountaineers chief executive officer, Philip Senzani, Vermeulen reacted with incredulity at his suspension and demanded all the money he was meant to be paid for the remainder of the season. That demand was turned down, and as well as missing the Met Bank Pro40 semi-final and and the Logan Cup final, Vermeulen also had his domestic contract scrapped by the franchise.

"The younger players are doing very well," said Senzani. "They are scoring hundreds and some are doing well with the ball, so we are taking a shift next season and Vermeulen is going to be one of the casualties. If you were a coach, or if you were in my position, you would probably do the same. We are taking an Arsenal approach to doing things - we are no longer going for the [big] names but nurturing talent."

"He is not the only one who is frustrated, most senior guys are feeling the heat from the young players and we are excited with the way the boys are coming up. He [Vermeulen] knows that at the end of the day he is going to be judged by his figures."

Those figures suggest that Vermeulen has had a reasonable first-class season, while his returns in limited-overs cricket have been somewhat mediocre. The loss of his contract may well mark the end of Vermeulen's professional career.

He has been dogged by disciplinary problems for some time, and increasingly erratic behaviour culminated in his burning down of the Cricket Academy pavilion in Harare. He was cleared of arson charges on psychiatric grounds and after a period of rehabilitation staged a remarkable international comeback as well as securing a domestic contract with Matabeleland Tuskers. That relationship ended poorly last year, but Vermeulen was given an opportunity by Mountaineers. Now, however, it appears his options have run out.

Seems to be bit of a loose cannon. Also wasn't he charged with trying to burn down the Zimbabwe Acadamy Building a few years ago

He burn't down the Academy, but was cleared due to psychiatric grounds. He sustained a serious skull fracture in an ODI in Australia during 2003, and has been unstable ever since.

Kinda feel sorry for the guy. As usual the media neglects to mention that part.

 

[Rohit Doshi]

Mountaineers are really struggling badly in both the Castle Logna and Coca-Cola Pro50 Championship. Its a long tournament and its just a start but they need to up the anti!!

Wish we(Indians) who are interested would be able to see the match other then cricinfo

A Zimbabwe fan documented the recent Mountaineers v Eagles match, here is the link if you want to have a look.

 

[MUFC1987]

I see Glen Querl has started his career in Zimbabwe well. Taking 18 wickets in his first two FC matches. He played for the Unicorns opening the bowling in the Pro40 last year, and also played in my local Cricket league too. Good to see him getting a chance in FC cricket and having such a great start. Looks a good prospect as his stats for the Unicorns were decent too.

 

[Fenil]

Chingumbura scored a century and took 3 wickets last month to lead Eagles to title victory in Coca-Cola Cup against Rhinos. What a performance by Elton!

Vusi Sibanda cracked 190 in a List A match against Southern Rocks.
