Vitori Suspended

[PSR]

Feel very sorry for him.

Opportunity for ngarava perhaps.

Ngarava no way ...he usually goes for lots of runs and is inconsistent

He's already been drafted into the squad.

I thought ngarava did very well against afganistsn in his debut series. He had a bad game against scotland and we didnt really see him again.
Like it or not he is the one streak and taibu believe is the future.
Time will tell

He did pretty well in the games against Kenya. Perhaps that's why he has peeped the default setting - Mpofu!

[Googly]

Jarvis is back in play. I have no problems with that

[Ming]

Muzarabani becomes key here...I hope he's well managed.

[SpitfiresKent]

I'm not surprised to be honest, his action looked exactly the same when he returned in that series against Afghanistan.

I would have preferred Mpofu to Ngarava. Mpofu may not be the most exciting, but he is experienced and is usually reliable.

Streak is after variation i feel. In chatara mpofu and jarvis you would have much of a muchness.

So you get the towering presence of blessing who can extract extra bounce. Ngarava would be the left armer and one conventional out of jarvis/chatara and of course the leggie cremer orthodox spin of raza and left arm spin of Williams
I think he covering all bases. We are still good with the squad we have......minus waller

I'm not sure this is proper ICC procedure. How do you ban a guy without an actual test? Then again Vitori is probably the first player to be reported 3 times in the space of 5 games. And who knows how much he was bending his arm off camera.

The protocol does change. First ban, you can get retested the next day if you want. Second ban, you have to wait 12 months just to get re-tested - which Vitori did and which is why he only came back a few weeks ago. Not sure what the 3rd ban penalties are. I had assumed it was a lifetime ban, but Mohammad Hafeez is also a fellow triple-ban bowler and he's still around from what i can tell (his career is probably finally over though).

Honestly Vitori isn't a great loss for ZIM, IMO. Blessing is a much better wicket taker, Chatara has better control. And in red ball Jarvis and Blessing would be far better prospects. Besides, Mumba is waiting in the wings, and possibly this Ngarava kid as well. ZIM actually have the strongest pace bowling that have probably ever had, certainly since the Rebels left in 2004. A far cry from when Panyangara and Tiripano or Madziva had the ball in their hands.
