Right, thought it could be an idea to discuss this (or somebody else prompted me to ) but yeah...
Who are the contenders for the worst domestic side ever?
Or even the worst performing domestic side ever?
I'll open the discussion by nominating the current Southern Rocks side who are getting smashed by everybody else in this season's Logan Cup.
They seemingly peaked far too early in the season and in the very first innings of their opening match of the season they made a respectable 266 (the only time this season they've passed 207) before bowling their opposition, Mashonaland Eagles, out for 147 (the only time they've lead on first innings this season).
However, they then transpired to lose by 3 wickets after setting their opponents 339 to win.
Not disgraceful you might suggest but the trauma of losing 6/29 in their second innings and allowing the opposition to recover from 26/3 was just too much.
They've since gone on to lose by :
An innings and 215 runs
9 wickets
An innings and 114 runs
An innings and 89 runs
They're currently 94/6 in their ongoing game too
Southern Rocks 98/6 (48.5 ov, H Matanga 22*, T Kamungozi 14*, MT Chinouya 0/21) | Live Scorecard | ESPN Cricinfo
They've managed to take an impressive 49 wickets this season in 5 games, only bowling their opposition out in an innings 3 times.
