[Match Thread] Tri Series Game 4 Zim v SL

[jaybro]

Another must win game since we tied our last must win game. We've been talking about the World Cup Qualifying tournament and our boys not being ready for must win games well this is good practice for the boys .....

Will we see changes to the line up ? I doubt the bowlers will change but surely Chari's and Elton's positions are under pressure with Hami, Musakanda and Waller waiting on the bench .....

For this must win game I'd actually bring Hami and Musakanda .....

Hami
Chamu
Ervine
Musakanda
Raza
Williams
Moor
Cremer
Tiripano
Chisoro
Mpofu / Tinashe

Tinashe is better up front but Bobby offers more bowling st the death ....

From Liam Brickhall's preview article - "Some fans entering Queens Sports Club on Saturday weren't allowed to bring Zimbabwe flags into the ground, as the flag has recently been used as a symbol of protest." Well that's great.

We won the toss ...

We're batting ....

We're unchanged .....

Bit of over night rain apparently ....

[Jemisi]

Hopefully these two can do a bit better today

[TapsC]

looks like heath streak is all about continuity. sometimes too many changes affect the confidence of players. different approach. let's see how it goes

[Jemisi]

shocker

[jaybro]

Chari runs himself out, shocking piece of cricket there just not up to international standard....

Hopefully Raza and Ervine can take off from where they left off last match ....

[Jemisi]

not only can he not bat he can't run between the wickets

So, given that we have given a fair crack of 3 tests and 3-4 ODIs to Chari this season and he has proven that he is not up for it yet, hopefully we should send him back for at least a season to get better at things. This is probably better in a way, as you can't just bring him back as soon as someone is injured or unavailable. He has proven himself to be not upto it yet. We can give the next guy a go. Hopefully this is how Streak and Taibu work and the consistency should come through in all selections.

Either that or Chari keeps getting game time as he is one of Streak's favorites.
