[Match Thread]: 2018 Tri-Series Match 2 | Zimbabwe vs Sri Lanka

[Black Mamba]

Might see debut for Young Ryan Murray

[Black Mamba]

Sri Lanka have won the toss and are bowling first

[CrimsonAvenger]

Heck, we can't win the toss again and SL are bowling. We can forget about this one too I guess.

As an aside, it was a big mistake not to pick someone in as rich a vein of form as Mutombodzi if you are dropping incumbents like Williams and Musakanda. Remember Taibu promised to sit up and take notice if folks in the domestic scene conjured up 100s and 5-fors. While they did that with Kasuza and Mashinge by picking them for the A tour vs UAE where they eventually failed to impress, Mutombodzi did not get a look in at all. Is it possibly due to the assumption of the selectors that "we know what to expect from him"? I can slightly digest non-selection of Mutizwa and Zhuwao as they are on the wrong side of the age group being looked at, but why not Mutombodzi?

Musakanda should have been selected for this tournament, especially given his performances against SL.

Thankkkkkkssssss a toooooonnnnnnnnnnn for this. 50 up without loss.

[Kriterion_BD]

Good single taken there. Need more of those. I feel the ZIM batters are a bit over-attacking at the moment. Can't get complacent.
