Tremendous faith in Chatara. I don't agree with it at all.

Interesting comment about Rainsford re: Kaia and his inability to get off to a quick start. Makes me think Kaia might bat at three and Madhevere bats lower middle order.

Chatara and Kaia in for Jongwe and Evans. I am happy with those changes.

Evans is way too much of a risk. Chatara the right call particularly as we are bowling first.

Also Raza at 5.5 to top score.

This is priced too generous if you want a bet.

Bookies think Zim way too big favourites and Raza wont bat that many overs.

Chatara went at economy rates of 8.4 (Nepal), 10.2 (Netherlands), 5.4 (Windies) and 9.1 (Oman) in his last four games.
Those figures are absolute garbage and are indicative of a man either out of form or out of confidence.

If Evans is a risk then Chatara is a total liability.

I hope he gets it together today but it's a mindboggling selection.

Larry :lol:
He's got his chance to undo all the previous wrongs in the qualifiers. Let's hope so.
He needs to grab that opportunity with both hands!

I'm not seeing why Welly gets picked if he isn't going to bowl. That's a completely wasted spot.

Man this is going to be a hell of a game. Really don't know how this will pan out. A big part of me thinks ZIM will pull it off, and finally exoricise the demons of that 2018 game vs UAE.

Russell Arnold doing the toss on the Tele suggested pitch would deteriorate and there would be uneven bounce from one end. Thought it would be a toss Scotland would be pleased to lose, set 240/250 and be right in the game.

I think we have to restrict Scotland to under 250.

Any more than that and I feel like the mental pressure could be a major factor in the chase.
