Probably more chances of the pakistani economy being stable but I'd love to see zim and kenya get out of this.

Worst case is we lose against Namibia and one other because its T20 and weird shit can happen. Namibia may lose one or two. That would mean another team would have to be that dominant that they also only lost one or two.
That's very unlikely.

Invested too many feelings and been let down far more times than I care to remember :lol:

Don’t catch feelings is the advice I was given by some shady lady in blues yo.

I predict zimbabwe and Namibia to win all their games . Game between Namibia and zim will be a close one . Namibia might come out as winners there but both the teams should qualify by beating all other teams

In theory we should beat Namibia, providing we bowl well up front. That Van Lungen guy is their main threat and he can be kept quiet by tight body-line bowling. He struggled against Ngarava, so Blessing hopefully is an additional problem for him. We then have an extra batter with Williams and possibly Marumani, if selected. They of course now have Wiese who is a threat with bat and ball.

Larry shouldn't be anywhere near t20 games

If I recall, you also don’t rate Jongwe. And you (presumably, if you have any sense) don’t rate Mumba.

So who exactly do you propose picking? Someone has to bowl.

Chris Mpofu is still not to be sneered at, I tell you. Everyone wants to plan for the future, but if the man is still bowling well you can't take it away from him.
If Anderson can do it then so can Chris.
Not that I'm talking Larry down, he can have good days.
Then of course there's TK, if only he had more control.

Our next tier down seem to be Gwandu and Dube and maybe Falao has got something to offer. The first thing to do with Falao is get him on a good diet and get him in the gym, he's too skinny.

This convo becomes moot if Brad Evans makes a good return.

Naqvi of course with special ICC dispensation to bowl all 20 overs.


Nah, I rate Larry, he’s a bit loose at times but he’s got a performance in him, Jongwe is a fine bowler in this format. I have issues with his character getting simultaneous sponsorship deals with every bat manufacturer going then giving them to his mates.

I’d have took Chivanga, sprays it around at times but would trouble a lot of these associates if he found his groove.

On balance it’s probably a fair selection they’ve made.
