Want to try Tarasai Musakanda as opener in 2nd ODI in place of H Masakadza.

Your side ?

Nah, Mazakadza all the way for me. Opens in all the games. I'm not sure how good Musakanda actually is, but when Hammi fires he's stupidly destructive. I'd rather have him open. Musakanda, for me, can wait.

Tiripano can keep his place too.

Same side and, hopefully, same result

Zimbabwe should aware of 150+ kph bowler Chameera and magical wrist spinner Sandekan,very difficult to pick. If they manage to overcome these two,
Zimbabwe will be clearly favourites to win the series


For Zimbabwe, Chamu Chibhabha will be a good addition instead of struggling Masakadza ( 139 runs, in last 10 odis) though he is an average talent, he could help the team with his bowling skills, which will suit slow pitch of Galle and will provide more ballance to the team.


Try few overs with Ryan Burl, he is more then a part time leg spinner

It will be very interesting to see how we go in this match. Back to the regular failure or was the first ODI the start of something special?
Neil Johnson, Alistair Campbell, Murray Goodwin, Andy Flower (w), Grant Flower, Dave Houghton, Guy Whittall, Heath Streak (c), Andy Blignaut, Ray Price, Eddo Brandes

Mire should have given strikes to Masakadza who is hitting the ball at the middle of the bat, instead of trying to slog.

Last time, any Zimbabwe batsman who handled sub continent spinner well after Andy Flower was Kevin Ibrahim.
Robo to rule :oops:
