MAJOR TEAMS: CFX Academy (1999/2000)

The CFX Academy made a valiant effort to win the match against Matabeleland at the Country Club, Harare, but the rain which had washed out more than half the second day's play proved too much for them, as they were unable to bowl their opponents out

In a shortened second day's play a Country Club, when just under three hours were possible, the CFX Academy took a clear advantage in the match, but found their hopes of reaching next week's final slipping away

Thanks to some rather disappointing Matabele batting, the CFX Academy could claim to have had rather the better of the first day's play between the two teams at Country Club in Harare today

MAJOR TEAMS: Matabeleland (1993/94 to date)

John Rennie had a major effect on the recent Logan Cup match between Matabeleland and Mashonaland at Bulawayo Athletic Club, both by his presence and his absence

Mark Vermeulen recorded his maiden first-class century, 197, in the Logan Cup match against Midlands played at Kwekwe from 17 to 19 March this year

Craig Evans (153) and Dirk Viljoen (173 not out) set a new record for all Zimbabwean partnerships when they added 330 together for the fourth wicket for Mashonaland against Matabeleland in the recent Logan Cup match at Bulawayo Athletic Club

Another week, another Test match - and another heavy defeat by Zimbabwe

The luckless Matabeleland side lost all reasonable hope of victory and faced probable defeat after the second day of their match against Mashonaland at Bulawayo Athletic Club

After putting up a good fight for the first day and a half of the Logan Cup match at Bulawayo Athletic Club, Matabeleland then subsided weakly to lose to Mashonaland by the huge margin of 276 runs in a most unimpressive performance

A pitch giving a little help to bowlers resulted in another Logan Cup match in which the first-innings advantage was settled on the first day, and when the lack of quality of much of the cricket was compensated for by a goodly portion of interest and

Dan Peacock is a promising young cricketer who, it is hoped, may develop into what seems to be a rarity in modern cricket: a spin-bowling all-rounder

Overshadowing all other cricket news in Zimbabwe this past week has been the sad story of how Zimbabwe threw away their golden opportunity to beat the West Indies in the first Test match ever played between the two teams

As expected, the Logan Cup match between Manicaland and Mashonaland fizzled out into a tame draw at Mutare Sports Club

The match between Logan Cup leaders Manicaland and favourites Mashonaland appears to be heading for a draw at the Mutare Sports Club, with the visitors 116 runs behind on first innings with six wickets in hand at the close of the second day's play

Mutare Sports Club celebrated its inaugural first-class match rather wetly, and less than half of the first day's play was possible, only that due to superb work on the part of the local authorities
