Playing more t20 cricket on good batting wickets will help our bowlers learn to handle the batting onslaught at the end of the innings. Also looking at today's best batsman they have all played a lot of t20 cricket so I think it will help our batsman as well ......

So now that AC is not around any more who will organise another Standbic T20 tourny.
CHRISTOPHER MPOFU: 'The problem was fear of failure. I used to think that when I played, if I didn't do well in one game, I would lose my place for the next one but now I've let go of that'
So, with the 3rd and last match coming up are we to see any changes in the XI ?, according to the original information the List A squad was made up of 15 players and the 4 not to have been given a game so far are Nyauchi, M'shangwe, Garwe and Masvaure
Nyauchi has played a minimal number of games and hasn't done anything of note, M'shangwe is a quality player well known to the selectors, Garwe is a steady and proven player but at almost 30 may well have missed the boat while Masvaure proved his credentials at domestic level last season, personally I think it's a criminal waste if M'shangwe and Masvaure aren't in tomorrows side
Zimbabwe team for today's match: KT Kasuza, PJ Moor, PS Masvaure, RP Burl, GAT Mamhiyo*, KL Sauramba†, TN Garwe, T Mufudza, VM Nyauchi, CB Mpofu, DT Tiripano.
Nyauchi, Masvaure and Garwe get a match, Mshangwe doesn't. Bangla in to bat.
Peterhouse U14C 4th change bowler and no. 10 batsman (but only because Aaron didn't have a bat).
Mmm, glad to see some changes but are Chari and Mutumbodzi, the ones who actually scored some runs in game 2, the right men to drop ?, I can only hope/assume that M'shangwe is injured as I simply can't think of a logical reason for not giving him a game
Bangladesh 50-0 in the 14th so still no teeth in the Zim bowling
No wickets yet, but 6 overs for just 10 runs: excellent figures for fast bowler Victor Nyauchi, in a projected innings of over 280 I should think. He might have something special in him, perhaps the reason why he was included in the squad despite having played only eight List A matches?
286-8 then, another Everest like total for Zim ........... Nyauchi the outstanding bowler with 10-2-31-2 while Garwe picked up 3-61 from 8
Tiripano has now disappeared from the cricinfo XI which would go some way to explaining why he didn't bowl I guess, and there was me thinking he'd been picked as a speciality batsmen
His replacement, Chari, has already gone with the score at 26-1 in the 4th
