[Match Thread] 1st 'A' Test (Zimbabwe v New Zealand)

[ZIMDOGGY]

I would select most people ahead of Dabengwa, maybe even Matsi.

Now you've lost the plot MAKING SUCH OUTLANDISH CLAIMS.


You need meds.

[andybligz]

should be

1.S.Marillier
2.V.Sibanda
3.S.Williams
4.C.Ervine
5.F.Mutizwa
6.M.Waller
7.R.Chakabva
8.K.Meth
9.T.Panyangara
10.N.Mushangwe
11.T.Chetara

[sloandog]

should be

1.S.Marillier
2.V.Sibanda
3.S.Williams
4.C.Ervine
5.F.Mutizwa
6.M.Waller
7.R.Chakabva
8.K.Meth
9.T.Panyangara
10.N.Mushangwe
11.T.Chetara

That's exactly what my team would be. Will be interesting to see how Tinasche Panyangara goes about his business

[maehara]

Zimbabwe win toss and will field.

[maehara]

Zim Team: Marillier, Mawoyo, Masvaure, Sibanda, Ervine, Waller, Chakabva, Maruma, Mushangwe, Panyangara, Ncube.

NZ Team: McIntosh, Ingram, How, Flynn, Franklin, Hopkins, Young, Patel, Aldridge, Beard, Martin.

What does Meth need to do to get a game ??
And no Sean Williams ?!

[Flower power]

Two wickets for Panyangara already . Looks good lets keep the momentum going boys .

[shumbat]

True 51/2, Panyangara doing the damage, Masvaure economy of 7.41 an over. There is no balance in this team, a lack of pace bowlers, should have included Meth to help out Panyangara and Ncube. Surprise Williams is not in, thought he would play first match then go to SA after for the ODI. These are the matches where our pace bowlers should be given a chance to improve,

[sloandog]

Ya i agree with you there. Keegan Meth should have been in the side, as should Tendai Chitara

[bayhaus]

I Think Chitara should have been in, I see Vusi has already put himself on to bowl...
I thought let me see NZ collective test experience against ours. I stopped after the first bowler and Batsman. Their stats collectively over shadowed ours. Only three players without Test experience.
NZ
How - Batting - 19 Matches - 772 Runs
Chis Martin - Bowling - 56 Matches - 181 Wikckets

Zimbabwe
Vusi - Batting - 3 Matches - 48 Runs
Tinashe Bowling - 3 Matches - 8 Wikckets - (128 runs - Has more runs than Vusi in with HS of 40*)
