Midlands report Michael Hudgson - 1 March 2002
The Midlands Logan Cup squad has just been chosen and the team is as follows: Doug Marillier (Capt), Dirk Viljoen (vice-capt), Raymond Price, Craig Wishart, Travis Friend, Sean Ervine, Terrence Duffin, Colin Delport, John Vaughan-Davies, Campbell Macmillan, Luther Mutyambizi, Ed Rainsford, Craig Grant, Tarai Karambwa, James Kornford, Paul Reilly. The Midlands Management Team is as follows: Manager - Colin Sanders; Physiotherapist - Alan Locke; the team coach is still as yet unknown. The team are due to travel to Bulawayo this weekend to take on the Matabeleland side; this game is to be played at B.A.C. All of us wish our squad all the best for this upcoming game and hope that this year the result will be different. The Inter-town 30-over-a-side matches played on Saturday afternoons here in the Midlands are due to start shortly. This league has been bolstered with the inclusion of three extra teams; namely, Kadoma, Christian Boys C.C. and Kings C.C. With regards to the Castle Lager National Cricket Leagues that are now nearing the close, we are proud to say that our first team did well and came seventh overall. We are also proud to say that the second team have made it into the finals of their league with an outstanding victory over the last weekend. Kwekwe Queens who take part in the National North League had a game here in Kwekwe over the past weekend and they will need to do a lot better if their hopes of emulating the Sports club second team and reaching the semi-finals and finals of their division is to come true. This year our Logan Cup side will have a rather tough season as they will need to play four fixtures one after the other as a result of the postponement of the game with Mashonaland A, which will now be played from 15 to 18 March. We look forward to the return of both Ray Price and Travis Friend from India and would like to take this opportunity to congratulate them both on their efforts in the First Test there in India. We are proud of them and proud to be associated with them as part and parcel of Midlands cricket. We would also like to congratulate Mr Ken Connelly on his appointment as the official Z.C.U. Midlands Administrator and wish Him all the best in the future. Colin Sanders has now taken over as the Midlands chairman until the next A.G.M. later this year. © Cricinfo
