Does anyone know where Henry Olonga is going to play cricket from now on?

No, m8. I heard he was in England but I'm not sure if he's available to play in this series.

The Uni team is 4/99 in their second dig after Zimbabwe were dismissed for 376. Flower made 130, Streak, 51 and Blignaut, 34 n.o.

Douglas Hondo has 2/16 and after taking a good 5 wicket bag in the first innings, looks set to play his second Test. His first produced only 1/87.

Zimbabwe won by 10 wickets. Only a defiant 137 n.o. from young a Aussie, Ed Cowan, prevented them winning easier.

Andy Blignaut took 4 wickets and Heath Streak, 3.

21 year old Cowan has played for NSW Colts and Under 19s and Australian Under 19s teams.

So, what is with Andy Flower playing in Australia? Does he want to play for Australia? Or did he retire from International cricket and decided to play some Aussie cricket for a change of pace and life style?

I think the English may actually the test series, I would like to see Zimbabwe win, but we know that probarly wouldn't happen.

Oh okay, I wasn't really sure, which is why I asked, all I saw was the story heading that said "Flower playing for SA for next 3 years" and I really didn't read, so yeah, thanks for clearing that one up for me:)
