WAller is 🀬🀬🀬

Zimfan1 said it the other day the fact WAller continues to be selected is a slap in the face to the likes of Mutizwa, Mutombodzi & Zhuwao who have had great domestic seasons

I really admire how Ervine has fought his way into form, not afraid to look ugly but getting the job done of finding his form. I had genuine doubts about his ability to turn this around quickly, but well done to him. Everyone else, except Raza probably, have massively thrown away better form.
From day one I said Ervine should be in this side, full stop. All the haters are being proved wrong...for now.
And not many disagreed. Pointing out flaws in technique does not mean that people are asking him to be out of the side. People were mostly suggesting a lower batting position, which, in fact, has helped.
I remember two or three (max) suggesting that. The rest were calling for his head.

Its the other way round.

Well it just screams pure and utter favouritism, doesn't it? It doesn't look great from the selectors point of view, and the lads back home who (like you said) keep performing or at least are putting their hands up are only going to get more and more pissed off.

The continued exclusion of Mutizwa baffles me, and will warrant some kind of explanation at some point.

Waller can't be selected in the qualifiers after this horror run, can he..? :?

Was that out? Mire unlucky. Though from one angle it looked like he got two fingers under the ball.

We don't even deserve the luck mate. You guys have played some fantastic cricket in this series and have shown how good your spinners are.

I think Mujeeb is over rated, personally, but the left armer and Khan have shown their class.

Rashid would be rueing over the fact that he won't be able to get a 5 for

If Rashid opens the bowling..he might well get all 10 wickets against this Zimbabwe batting order
