Couldnt agree more taibu would be the perfect choice hes attacking and he knows what hes doing Utseya clearly doesnt. Lets just hope ZC see this and give Taibu the captancy

cricinfo have a squad of 18 players listed for todays game.

Chakabva, Chibhabha, Chigumbura, Dabengwa, Maruma, Masakadza, Matsikenyeri, Mupariwa, Muzarabani, Nyamuzinga, Price, Taylor, Taibu & Utseya from the squad that were available in the 1st 3 games, with the additions of Brent, Cremer and Sibanda.

I assume that the game will go ahead today as planned and will not be affected by the continuing wait for the Election results.

Was completely unaware that there was a game today! I think everybody has the elections on their minds, I wonder if it will affect the players...

[Train Driver]

I wouldn't be surprised if the players would prefer the game to be put back a few days, but then they are lucky that they have something to take their minds off the waiting.

What are the prospects for ZC should Mr Tsvangirai become President of an MDC led Zimbabwe ?

I would bet on some changes at the top

[brmtaylor.com admin]

ZC would have a new patron I suppose, other than that I'm not sure.

[Train Driver]

I've just realised that I can't count, the 14 names have been joined by Christopher Mpofu as well.

Not sure whether either Chingoka or Bvute would survive a changing of the guard, I would have thought that they would both be too much recognised as allies of the Mugabe regime.

[maehara]

Zim 131/8 from 20. Taylor's 55 and Chibhabha's 24 are the only knocks of note...

[Train Driver]

A better score than in the last 2 games anyway.

The bowlers have started off quite well in the Dolphins reply, now, if they can bowl at 2 an over for the whole 20 overs ......

[Train Driver]

Me and my big mouth, 17 off the 3rd over

[Train Driver]

Another defeat but a lot better showing than in the last 2 games.

A good knock by Taylor, the 1st 50 of the series, an excellent spell of 3-19 by Dabengwa, by far the best Zim bowler of this series with 7 @ 13.28 and some tight bowling by Utseya.

Next game is on 9th in Cape Town against Cobras.
