Zim's World Cup Squad & One-And-Only Fantasy Squad Thread

[maehara]

Whatever team we choose will be no match for the powerful Kenyan side. I have been told by others on this forum that Kenya are just as good, if not better than Zimbabwe.

HAHA uber lolz!

One large order of ZING please!!

Heh. May I also refer you to the results the mighty Kenyans have been posting on their current tour of India.

Charles Coventry to take advantage of the first Power Play?

I don't see an obvious #2, to be honest - whoever it is is going to be out-of-place there, and have to learn to do it quickly.

We apparently have 2 games in Dubai (Holland & tba), then the warmups against South Africa and Ireland, so at least there's opportunity to experiment...

I can't say that there are any surprises (for once) with this squad other than the initial cutting of Hamilton Masakadza. Chibhabha has failed to deliver and could only have been selected on supposed potential. I think it is good to see Coventry and Lamb back in the team. As others have said, the opening combination is the biggest question. Perhaps Coventry can open or maybe Craig Ervine - who whilst not being the typical opener, does have a solid technique and is in good form. To keep this thread in line with all of the other threads on this forum, I am going to name my version of the team.

My starting XI would be:
1. Brendan Taylor
2. Charles Coventry
3. Sean Williams
4. Tatenda Taibu
5. Sean Ervine
6. Craig Ervine
7. Elton Chigumbura
8. Prosper Utseya
9. Graeme Cremer
10. Ray Price
11. Christopher Mpofu

Ohh this hurts me, I picked this exact side to a tee in my fantasy list, I still have it on my desktop but I decided against posting it after my rant last month about every thread descending into a team list of sorts. I'm kicking myself now

[ZIMDOGGY]

The other reason Is in Zimbabwe there us always one selection that defies belief, I half expected dabengwa to be selected after all.....and another random like Norbert manyande

This wouldn't be zimcricketforums.com without every thread turning into a team list thread. Although for a while every thread degenerated into something about Matsi.
