More good news from Zimbabwe

Good efforts once again from Ben Slater and Peter Burgoyne in Zimbabwe.

Playing for the Southern Rocks against the Mid West Rhinos in a Twenty20 match, Burgoyne made an aggressive 38 from 29 balls with two sixes and two fours, sharing a third wicket partnership of 74 with Slater, who opened the innings against an attack featuring two international bowlers.

Slater went on to an excellent 60  from 51 balls as his team posted 146-5. It is unlikely to be enough runs against a side featuring Brendan Taylor and Mark Vermeulen, but continues the very positive impression that both players have made out there so far.

  1. Sounds promising, certainly expect to see them appear more in one day matches next season. Who were the bowlers they were facing?

  2. Im following these fixtures with quite a bit of interest, both players seem to be aquitting themselves very well in a young team. Slater has top scored in a few of the matches for his side so far.

    Burgoyne finished today with 4-1-14-0 but unfortunately ended up on the losing side off the penultimate ball.

    I believe the 2 international bowlers were Cremer and Waller.
