We need our resident Matabeleland'er zimdan to give us a weather update.

9.36 The covers are coming off. And we have the Zimbabwe XI for this match: 1 Mire, 2 Masakadza, 3 Taylor, 4 Ervine, 5 Williams, 6 Raza, 7 Waller, 8 Chakabva, 9 Cremer, 10 Jarvis, 11 Mpofu

Clearly an XI for drawing the match, if at all. But given the 15, we did not have many choices.

Guess it was a toss up between Chamu and Solo. Seems Solo will make his debut.

Given some of the dumb choices in the squad they have picked the best available XI.

It's not a bad XI. I don't think Chisoro would've added much, nor Chinouya. Might as well play Waller and have he, Williams and Raza bowl a few each.

Yeah. I think I might have leaned towards Chibhabha, but Mire has been in good form so it's a nice reward for him. I think he should be urged to play his natural game.

Tino Mawoyo looks in pretty good shape (he's doing commentary for this game). Should be in the team.

[Jemisi]

Need Mire to grab a wicket or two as third seamer.

Good morning fellow Zim Fans, I am excited for the first time in a long while on Day 1 of a test game. Any live stream site link available?

Absolutely. Funnily enough it was the first comment Alan Wilkins made when he introduced Tino.
