For all you Australian fans yes the game is LIVE on FOXTEL which is great as we won't have to worry about streams and pop up adds !!!!!!

I like our chances v Ireland I think we match up well against them tbh

Yes bowl first 100% hopefully we get a few early wickets

Cephas
Mire
Hami
BT
Ervine
Raza
Williams
Cremer
KJ
Chatara
Blessing

If we're going to win the toss and bowl we need a third seamer and out of the 3 seamers we got KJ is the best at using the new ball so I would recall him.

You really have it in for him don’t you

Playing at Harare, we need to go in with our three seamers Blessing. Chatara and Jarvis. Bowling first might be key here. Could make the difference between losing and winning. The spin department seems to be covered so I don't think Chisoro will be necessary here. Whats really key is we need our batting to kick on. We are relaying too much on BT and Raza. If they fail we really don't seem to be going anywhere. Ervine seems to have hit the right cord he should carry on. But his batting seems to be ideal for that number 3 spot, anchoring one end whilst the others have a go at the other end.

The argument for Chisoro is that he averages 25 runs per wicket and goes at an impressive 4.14 an over. You could argue regardless of what he bowls or what the conditions are he should be in the side.

I am usually very optimistic about most of Zims matches but I have a very bad feeling in regards to the match against Ireland. They are well and truly our bogey team. I feel that their batting may be too strong for us and we will be a very depressed forum over the next couple of months

+1 with that feeling. Only sigh of relief on a personal front is the fact that I won't be able to follow most of the game or the discussions over here and that might reduce a bit of the depression after the results are through....

Ireland's bowling may be one of the weaker attacks we have faced so far. Certainly Afghanistan is stronger, and Scotland may be also.

I completely disagree

For what it is worth, hhm messaged me on twitter that Zimbabwe will definitely lose to Ireland and the West Indies but may be slight favourites against the UAE.
