Both Bliggie and Lamb were out last match through (minor?) injuries. Hopefully they'll be available, but that's not guaranteed.

I hope so too. We won last game with some B-team players so what would we do with A-Team players :D
A talented batsman but a modest, hardworking character, Stuart Matsikenyeri is the third of three school friends from Churchill Boys High School, Harare to represent Zimbabwe in international cricket. - Cricinfo.

Here's his Cricinfo profile & stats: http://www.cricinfo.com/zimbabwe/conten ... 32444.html
Promising player.
Thank you for link. He has very bad bowling average. I would not pick him. He should go abroad and spend the summer in England playing for a league team to get more skills.
Kyle Jarvis may have a poor bowling average, but the thing you need to look at is his age. He's 21 (I think), and a lot of pressure is on him to perform for us with the new ball. Give him time and I reckon He'll mature into a very good fast bowler.

You crazy Bastard :lol:
Like Satendra said, these guys are our match winners, and they bring class to the middle order. Well Ervine does, Coventry brings brute force with him... 8-)

It would not be wise to drop both Ervine and Coventry just in case our top order collapses or when we trying to keep up with the run rate, as Blignaut hasn't yet found form with the bat and Lamb scores slowly, Chibhabha should go from the team which played previously, bring back Bliggy then cjose between Coventry, Lamb and Ervine. It is just going to get harder being Zim coach, thank God i am not Butcher

It will be our finest cricketing moment since the 1999 World Cup if we can win tomorrow. The last time we made a final of a full-member tournament was in Sharjah after the 2003 World Cup I believe, unfortunately we didn't win that day.

see my previous post where i have mentioned all 5 finals. The "friday the 13th" final at Sharjah was not the last major one as we played another final at Lords locking horns with England having edged out WI first.
