We are not going to get thumped if both Meth and Shingi play and Jarvis, Vitori and Chakabva stay out.
Any other combo will result in an elephant-like thumping

Talk is we will be going in with this:

1. Matsi
2. Chakabva
3. Taylor
4. Taibu
5. Waller
6. Chigumbura
7. Meth
8. Utseya
9. Price
10. Jarvis
11. Shingi Masakadza


If Matsi is playing, we got chance of starting well and thats pretty much the game gone. These are the games where Coventry and Duffin need to be playing.

T20 is as much about captaincy as it is about skill.
Taylor is one of the worst I have seen in terms of tactics.
I am optimistic about Meth and hope be bowls 4 overs out and opens the attack with Utseya or Price.

Opening with jarvis and shingi is like waving a redflag to a raging bull.
Guptill seems like bradman bcoz is he is so cozy with Jarvis who has utterly failed us across all formats.

Well, I think it will be more like 55 runs or 5 wickets. We won't be in it, but I think we will be closer - not because o f the shorter format, just because I think NZ will struggle to maintain the rage after gutting us so violently through the first four games.

Regis ahead of Mutizwa!!!! Firdose Moonda must be crazy, and zimbos_05 you're buying into that too. You have some concerning views as well - DH the convener of selectors, Duffin&Coventry in the same sentence for a T20 match, Gary Ballance being sidelined for Zim selection etc.... :lol:

Batting first with a very very long tail. This should be interesting. I hope top order get some runs on the board.
