A one-man business or a one-man show has nobody else to fall back on, and apart from an interview with Dirk Viljoen on the exciting match between Midlands and Manicaland last weekend, we found it impossible to arrange the interviews we wanted, including the one we have been seeking for weeks with the reluctant Andy Flower. Hopefully we may be able to catch up during the Logan Cup match at Harare Sports Club – should the run of play permit. Other problems encountered helped to prevent substitute articles.

As noted in our Logan Cup preview, three of the teams in the competition are very evenly matched and the matches between them have been extremely well fought. It is just Mashonaland that spoils the show! – despite giving out spare players to the other teams they can also field a B side strong enough to overwhelm all opposition there as well.

On the statistical side we include records of matches involving Mashonaland and Midlands, and Matabeleland and Manicaland, who meet in the Logan Cup this weekend, before Pakistan arrive. We also include a complete overview of Andy Flower's first-class career, correct to the start of the current season.
