I would guess we have grounds for extending this 7th Jan deadline for final squad announcement.

I agree. Kamungozi has won me over after his impressive displays in Bangladesh and as others have said, he should extract some decent bounce in AUS/NZ conditions what with his height.
If Kamungozi gets picked he will not win us any matches, but he will loose us some for sure. Should he play, I have a feeling the big teams might actually show him a bit of respect because of his accuracy: they know they'll easily beat us, and can afford to knock him around for 4-5 singles an over. But Ireland or the UAE will target him and tear his bowling to shreds; at the T20 WC against Ireland he didn't even bowl out his overs.

ZCFOutcast :
Besides it doesn't make sense to leave out the Australia slayer Utseya - even if he can't bowl offspin
Logic :lol:

That's nothing. In CricInfo, once ZCFOutcast called for Dale Steyn to be dropped from the SOU side. :o

On second thought, I'll have Williams as the sole spinner in the main XI.

Squad (updated) :

1.Brendan Taylor(wk)
2.Sikandar Raza
3.Hamilton Masakadza
4.Elton Chigumbura(c)
5.Craig Ervine
6.Sean Williams
7.Solomon Mire
8.Brian Vitori
9.Tawanda Mupariwa
10.Tinashe Panyagara
11.Tendai Chatara

(This gives us 7 bowling options + Hami's golden arm. At the same time, our tail looks good too.)

12.Madziva/Shingi/Musoko (one of these guys - Chinouya, if he's fit)
13.Regis Chakabva(reserve wk)
14.Kamungozi/Utseya/Nyumbu (I'd prefer Kamungozi)
15.Sibanda/Matsikenyeri/Mutumbami/Burl (one of these guys)
