Now lets not be stupid here, Mupariwa is an excellent bowler but he lacks pace and penetration. He's been exposed on countless occassions by the big sides. But in his defece he's the quickest Zimbabwean to reach 50 ODI wickets. I'll give credit where it's due.

Very Very Very disapointed with the selection of the West Indies tour. Where is Sean Willimas ?? Okay the lads not had much game time, but he's one of the brightest lights in Zimbabwe at the monet....without a shadow of a doubt. Glad to see Shigrai Mazakadza in, aswell as Timcen Mauruma. Also glad that Charles Coventry is retained for the tour. Would have liked to have seen Keegan Meth or Dougie Marrillir in the quad. But i guess these boys just have to keep performing, and if they do they'll be in the squad soon !

Man no Foster Mutizwa!!!!! This is quite a surprise. He has been one of the most consistant batsman on the domestic scene unlike someone like Charles Coventry who I still think is riding on his 194n.o. against Bang. The selection is really pegging us back. Good to see Timycen Maruma having a call up to the squad though. The boy has earned his cap.

There was no justice there! That young man was the third leading run scorer in all of Logan Cup. For me the top four had merely picked themselves there.

Why the frigg is Matsikinyeri in the squad. Surely with all these former players returning there's better quality. He's not warented his spot in the side, apposed to somebody like Mutizwa or Craig Ervine. Total rubbish in my view, the selectors need to re-evaluate there selections for this tour. And no Rainsford !! This boy's a genuine new ball threat, and when he's loose he can bowl sharp (Between 80-86mph) :twisted: It's a real shame

I'd much prefer to see Meth for Mpofu. I think Coventry has that unbredictability about him. He could either loose a game or win a game for Zimbabwe in one innings. I'd stick with him for a little longer. But Meth is a no brainer. He's easily been one of the best all-rounders in the domestic circuit this year, and i know he's an excellent fielder. Why Mpofu is still in thos squad is beyond me, though he has come on along way in the past 6 months or so. I just think that there's better quality options in the circuit thn Mpofu. I wish him all the best non the less, and the whole Zimbabwean team for that matter :D

Yeah i know i've listened to it before. He may well have played against the top teams but he' struggled with the new ball as his pace is often found wanting and his length is usually too full. He often gets wickets at the back end of the innings. Twanda Mupariwa is not the best bowler in Zimbabwe.
