Cricket stuff that doesn't deserve its own thread

I'm worried they will waste the money but I do see the reasoning behind it. Vic Falls is the biggest tourist attraction in Zim and it's a very safe, well serviced town that foreign fans would feel more comfortable visiting. Many overseas fans would be keen to visit Vic Falls, Harare and Bulawayo not so much. Obviously I would visit both cities in a heartbeat but I'm not really the target audience.

Even during the really bad times in Zim foreigners still went to Vic Falls all the time.

Five test Zimbabwe batsman Tarisai Musakanda has been charged with attempted murder after allegedly stabbing his wife :-O.

He played Devon League cricket this year but hasn't played for the national team for some time due to - unsurprisingly - attitude and behaviour problems.

Pretty appalling tabloid style article (not uncommon with African newspapers in my limited experience) but here's the source.

I follow Devon cricket quite closely and he was down as "T Masakanda" not "Musakanda" for pretty much the entire season.

Rumours going around that the other Curran brother, Ben, will declare for Zimbabwe.

An unspectacular county bat, he's no Sam or Tom, but it would be lovely for one of Kevin's sons to play for their home country.

How many instances are there of brothers playing international cricket for different countries? I can think of the Pattinsons but there must be others
