From the article: http://www.thezimbabwean.co.uk/sport/cr ... place.html
Richard Muzhange has lost his place after failing a fitness test.
But curiously enough, he continues to play for the Rhinos...
Anyone who knows whats happening at ZC knows that the fitness test means JACK. Absolutely! Snoop around and find out who failed a fitness test but still went for the T20 despite their being a word that whoever fails does not go...

Rumour? What were the facts?

I heard that Taylor failed the fitness test just before the T20 world cup.

Twice, but it wasnt a rumour and I needed it to come from someone else lest it be dismissed as a conspiracy theory

The one strength of our batting is our top 4 in tests (Taylor, Sibanda, Masakadza and Mawayo) and out top three in ODI's (Taylor, Masakadza and Sibanda).

The places which are up for grabs are numbers 5,6 and 7. Im not sure if Ewing has the game which is suited to the end of the innings with his bowling non existant over the last three years.

Good point Zimfan1 but I would have liked him opening if Duffin or Mark are deemed not good enough.

Chris Gayle in ominous form again for Jamaica http://www.espncricinfo.com/west-indies ... 87846.html, 122 off 61 balls. But if there's a lesson there it is: You can survive the Gayle force ... Guyana still won comfortably.

Tell that to Kyle & Cremer :lol: :lol:

Missed this one, but I watched his 85 in their previous game.

Didn't do so well in the BBL. Let's see how he goes against the Aussies. Maybe peak during that tour and get injured or flat when he gets to us. Vitori seemed to have him covered.
