That means Kenya can fancy finishing 3rd Or push for a WC spot?

After how many years are we going to see Zimbabwe v Kenya...!!??? It's been Ages!
Just seen the Kenya squad and I'd say Uganda are still stronger on paper.

Kenya have a couple of decent spinners but their pace bowling is weak.
How do you know about the Kenyan and Ugandan cricketers? Have you seen them play or do you look at stats?
I have watched pretty much all of the national games over the past few years, plus I watch a bit of their local cricket on YouTube.

I used to post the odd thing on the other cricket section of the forum but I don't think anyone else is interested :lol:

I follow all African cricket not just Zimbabwe.

Let's hope our statistician was at Takas having a look and taking some video. I can see they're decent

The only guy interested in that “other” forum was that Bangladeshi guy.

Could be a worse squad.

Larry and Carlos will be instrumental in one game at least.

Massive series for Welch to live up to the hype around him and he’ll be fine.

A lot will ride on Raza’s captaincy. Still not convinced that was the wisest move.

Looking forward to this, we should walk it but it will definetly be a nervy first game.

Don't get the mumba selection, but hope he can prove me wrong.

Is Marumani even fully fit? That's a risky selection

Looking at the squad here is my predicted 11:

Welch
Kaia
Ervine
Raza
Williams
Burl
Madande
Jongwe
Welly
Ngarava
Muzarabani

Marumani will probably get a couple of games, should be a good confidence boost against the likes of Rwanda/Nigeria

Unless Wes is in for Kaia, I can't see him fitting in our strongest team, unless they drop Craig.

Larry will play his part, maybe ahead of Welly on seam friendly pitches.

Mumba may get a couple of games but can't see him playing ahead of Jongwe

K long very unlucky. If he converted some of those 30s into 50s would have been a different story for him I'm sure
