[Match thread] 1st ODI Afghanistan v Zimbabwe

[zimlover]

Muzarabani should not be dropped if anything its Jarvis who has been wasting the new ball, with all his county experience and cash he was paid he should be blowing away sides like Afghanistan.I say drop Jarvis bring in Vitori to take the new ball with Chatara, Muzarabani can come in the middle overs with his bounces and awkward lines and bounces delivered at high point.

You've got to be kidding? I didn't believe he was worth the risk myself, but he has been quite consistent across formats and has held his own with some tight spells, working well in tandem with Chatara. Of the two returnees and Mire, who committed himself to Zim, I never thought Jarvis would turn out to be the best performer. But that has been the case, and by a distance too.

I agree about blessing but no way should Jarvis be dropped he was our best quick in the tri series and improved every game

Each to their own. I just want to see Chisoro in the side, possibly with the new pip. Against Shazad up front i don't think it's a bad ploy.

Jarvis and Chatara have to play. Jarvis has been very impressive since his return, even if his pace has dropped alarmingly.

Blessing is still a kid, he has oodles of time. For now, In games and series like this one, I want to see our best bowling attack on the field. With that in mind, i don't think anybody will argue that Jarvis and Chatara are better all rounder bowlers than the young man (right now).

Then you have a good, solid spin quartet of Cremer, Chisoro, Raza and perhaps Waller if needed.

Plus Chisoro can bat

Some members seem to think that Jarvis should be coming back into the side and bowling like Dale Steyn, yes he is a better bowler than before he left but he is never going to blast out international batting line ups. But he is a very canny bowler who like Crimson said has got better in every match.

The bowling partnership of Chatara and Jarvis looks a lot better than some of the rubbish we have had over the last 18 months.

Jarvis was a performer, I think it's fair to say he is a spent force, for a player who spent time playing in a professional set in county cricket you would expect more from him.
He has lost pace and is not swinging the ball or generating any kind of movement.Lets not forget this is the same player who was sharing a dressing room with James Anderson.
He has been a complete disappointment.

Dont even get me started on Brandon Taylor.

I hope they both prove me wrong

Afghans bating first after winning the toss. Perfect for setting the tone for the series for us. Now, hope the bowling holds up as it has regularly for the past few months.
