...and should we be complaining that the Full Australian Test side is not touring instead?

1Hughes

5Marsh(allrounder)
6Ferguson(vc)
7Paine(c-wk)
8Siddle
9Krejza/Beer
10Hilfenhaus
11Starc/Copeland/Butterworth

Can't see either of these sides putting a dent on them:
Two-day warmup game
1Vusi, 2Mawoyo, 3Chakabva, 4Waller, 5Mutizwa, 6Lamb, 7Chigumbura, 8Jarvis, 9Shingi, 10Panyangara, 11Mushangwe (12Chibhabha, 13Ncube)
Four day game
1Taylor(c), 2Vusi(vc), 3Hamilton, 4Taibu(wk), 5Ervine, 6Chakabva, 7Chigumbura, 8Utseya, 9Meth, 10Price, 11Mpofu (12Waller, 13Vitori, 14Chatara, 15Mutizwa)

This happens to be my first ever topic posted. A consequence of my thinking out too loud. Was wondering about the fortnight of cricket ahead for our boys, and it appears they couldn't have asked for a better reality check! This team could easily rock up here as THE Australia team for an official tour, and I doubt it would make that great a difference to the hype and expectations.

I think this game is going to be very one sided. That Australian A side is probably more talented than Zimbabwe team ever - let alone this current team.

That OZ side is more talented than any Zim team ever for sure, just shows how far we are. We have with what we got, i know this is a four day game, but we have beaten talented OZ teams breaming with talent in ODIs and T20 matches. The main thing is playing them improves us game, for example our middle order has been thoroughly exposed in the ODIs and where the coaches have to look at. I think they should include Chatara and Vitori in the 2 day game, they need as much game time against such quality opposotion.

here's hoping Jarvis has an exeptional match against the aussies, I would like to see Mpofu, Jarvis and Masacadza leading the bowling in the first test against bangladesh.
