Wesley can build innings but not works in death over. Literally zim have Marumani and campbell in the eleven but they send wesley :roll:
Even the left right combo an option, isn't?

Marumani I'd have sent in. Left hand right hand combo might have been a better idea
Zim is renowned for the left right combo and shuffling the batting order to achieve that but that's out the window if Madhevere needs to bat.

I get that he's in form, but has he ever EVER illustrated an ability to hit big at the end of an innings? The answer is no. Really is a poor decision

Wes is not good at manufacturing runs. He gets a ball and hits it well in that area.
By that I mean he's not inventive.

Campbell ahead of Marumani?
How??
