THE Bulawayo team finished unbeaten at the two-day Gray-Nicolls Zimbabwe social cricket tournament, which ended at Queens Sports Club yesterday.
Led by Adrian Fairburn and featuring former Zimbabwe internationals Heath Streak, Wayne James, the Rennie brothers John and Gavin, Bulawayo won all their three matches.
Last Friday, Bulawayo, inspired by half centuries from Gavin Rennie and Streak beat Victoria Falls by 60 runs. Yesterday, they beat Harare by an eight-wicket victory and then went on to thump Benoni Bombers, a team from South Africa by eight wickets.
A large number of fans who included the Minister of Education, Sport Arts and Culture David Coltart turned out for the event organised by Gray-Nicolls Zimbabwe representative Gareth Jocks and meant to raise money for old people’s homes in Bulawayo.
