The Andy Blignaut issue was quite controversial last season

Andy Flower has just returned from a season playing county cricket for Essex, during which he scored 1151 first-class runs at an average of 50.04 and completed 36 dismissals, mainly behind the stumps

Alistair Campbell was perhaps rather reluctant to take on the mantle of Zimbabwe cricket captain again, but he saw it as a duty to Zimbabwean cricket, with no other obvious willing and capable candidate for the post in the absence of Heath Streak

1999/2000: At Harare Sports Club (neutral venue); 10, 11, 12 March 2000

The match between Mashonaland and Midlands could well be heading for a good finish tomorrow, as the home side is pressing for its 16th successive Logan Cup victory

We apologise to our readers for a smaller issue than normal this week, due to circumstances beyond our control
