Another quiet week in Zimbabwe cricket, except at
Mutare, where Nigel Fleming reports on a serious incident that requires
strength and direction from the administrators. Our national players
prepare to go to India, without actually knowing who will be in the team.
Besides our main contributions on club news and
provincial cricket, we include the promised interview with Guy Whittall on
the Board XI’s matches against Easterns in South Africa. Guy also includes
his views on the state of Zimbabwe cricket at present. [More]
INTERVIEW
Taking time out: Guy Whittall
All-rounder and former vice-captain Guy Whittall, after scoring few runs
in the home series against South Africa and England, found himself dropped

Bangladesh and Sri Lanka without him.
In the meantime, he has been making good runs for the Zimbabwe Board XI
and should certainly be in the running to tour India. He talks to
CricInfo about his situation, and also about the Board XI matches against
Easterns B in Boksburg, South Africa. [More]

of stumps to the ground. [More]
