[Match Thread]: Zim T20 Tri Series: 1st Match: ZIM vs PAK

[Detective RDS]

This is my Zim XI for 1st match:

1. Hamilton Masakadza (C)
2. Brian Chari [BRENDAN TAYLOR WK]
3. Tarisai Musakanda [SIKANDAR RAZA]
4. Elton Chigumbura
5. Malcolm Waller
6. Solomon Mire
7. Peter Moor (WK) [SEAN WILLIAMS]
8. Tendai Chisoro
9. Blessing Muzarabani
10. Kyle Jarvis
11. Wellington Masakadza [GRAEME CREMER]

The players in the bracket would have replaced the left side players in a full strength XI.

Chibhabha ahead of Kamunhukamwe is a woeful pick. I just hope Chibhabha doesn't get a nod tomorrow because of his medium pace. It's better to give a young player like Chari or Burl a go in the opening slot.

Chigumbura should bat up the order, at least at 4.

What's your XI ?

They’ve got nothing to lose by playing Murray. He’s one of the best glovemen in the world, and will he do worse with the bat in a T20 than a couple of these guys? If he happens to come in when there’s spin he’ll do better than most, if he comes in when someone is bowling chest high rockets... well let’s at least see. Best hands in the game, big statement, but it’s true, let’s at least watch one master of his craft.

If Murray has the best hands then let's get picking him. I am ready for a specialist wicket keeper. He can catch and make stumpings whilst he works on the batting.

Today is the first Zimbabwean games in years I am not excited about ..i might still end up watching the whole game but not like I have been excited from 3 days ago like i am normally before any Zimbabwean games ..also there is a fight going on with my heart and brain heart wants zim to win brain feels if they win it would give zcb an opportunity and we might not see Taylor and co return ..

Not expecting much here.

Shame there isn't a speedgun at the ground. Blessing looked like he was really getting it through in his first over.

[CrimsonAvenger]

Not really feeling like a typical Zimbo game that I feel the urge to watch, but having a glance anyway. Jarvis is hitting great areas. That was a good catch by Hamilton too.

Add a good catch by Moor to the list. But he has been scratchy behind the stumps.

Can someone send us a link .

All of this racial ugliness started because the board was influenced by the usual incompetent shit stirrers to meddle in team selection and they insisted on Cephas Zhuwao being picked in the 50 over stuff. Now we have the format that he’s particularly strong at and the same guys that were pushing for his selection in 50 over cricket are now not picking him?
Normal people would be vaguely embarrassed by this, but when you’ve been an incorrigible thief and twat for that long with no censure I guess embarassment is an emotion you no longer require.
