Manicaland Bulls    357 & 299/7              
Mountaineers        430
   
Manicaland Bulls drew with Mountaineers
  
Man of the match: Ian Nicolson

 

[Dipak]

See, I told you don't play in an excellent pitch. The draws you get also aren't realistic

 

[Haarithan]

Wow that's an amazing result for us given i played the weakest possible starting XI . Ian nicolson was terrific with the ball with a 4 for and almost all the other bowlers contributed . The batsmen made me even more proud with the top 3 batsmen in special . Nice to see our Zimbabwean lads boasting enormous talent going into the championships /

 

[Prats]

But, If I play every match on Normal or Poor pitch then too it remains unrealistic. And, I also think Dipak that some matches end in unrealistic draws, not all.

Perfect start to the campaign with a resounding win thanks to SImon Katich's (bowling) skills !!! Watto was ever reliable and so was colly also with the ball. Easy win for our boys at the end and goin with the same lineup . The local zimbabweans weren't bad either
