Sammons and his brains trust seem to like 4 pacers. Got to feel that Matigimu, Blessing, Richie and Nyauchi plus Raza is our best bet if we don't go for 8 batsmen. Matigimu can bat. The issue now will be that we desperately need a decent keeper who can contribute with the bat

Ya I'd still like to have seen Evans today, but Gimu has been noticed for sure.

As good as our seamers have been, they haven't been as consistent as Durham's. They should honestly be about 40-6.

Curious how tall Tsiga is?
He seems to dwarf over Prince.

Significantly better performance from ZIM here, but then again this is a "1.5th" string Zimbabwe side if you think about it. 6 of the XI have Test caps...

Either way, its good preperation for the coming Test tours in 2025.

Incredible bowling figures from Gimu.
He's bowled his way to Bangladesh and England I reckon.

He's really put a spanner in the works for Gwandu and Nyamhuri, Evans, Jongwe and Faraz.

He's just bowled a lethal bouncer as well, smashed Drissell in the head.

ZC wont miss a chance to bump up a "generational" talent. Matigimu seems to be bowling well. Green deck and overcast conditions seem to suite him very well. Could be useful in England but how effective will he be in Bangladesh though.

Surprised Myers has brought on a spinner.

Mubayiwa is hands down the trickiest spinner to read that we've got. If he could just be more consistent he'd have his name in the hat.
