I have a feeling we might be steamrolled in this game.

If you have just one pacer in your XI, and you have him to be Mpofu, this can only be explained as extreme favoritism. Not calling up Chatara is criminal if they knew about Jarvis's injury.
Looks like ZIM now have Bangladesh's coach...leave out all the good players in exchange for inferior faves.

I think this test is very important for Streak and Taibu in terms of people having confidence in them. A lot of these picks are big judgement calls..lets see what happens.

I don't know if Mire has the technique for Test cricket. Less sure of his temperament. But I think he can add value not only because he can bowl a heavy ball, but Masakadza is can anchor while Mire blazes from the other end. An attacking Mire can also help to throw the bowlers off their lengths and lines.

Looks like Roach is getting it to swing a bit, need to see him off.

Moor vs Chibhabha - I don't think that's a howler. Moor's batting record has been good, but obviously Chibhabha can offer something with the ball. If Moor makes some 30s and 40s then nobody will question it. Williams is a unique player in that he offers batting and reasonable quality spin, difficult to replace.

Chisoro vs Chinouya - neither are great options if we're being honest.

No Chatara - yes, this is the ultimate howler. It would be wonderful to know what the hell is going on with this. If Jarvis is injured and Chatara is fit, why isn't it a straight swap?
