Trust me Gumbie can play T20, he's adapting and doing it well.

I'm thinking they will probably go with this:

Marumani
Ervine
Bennett
Williams
Raza
Burl
Madande
Jongwe
Wellington
Ngarava
Muzarabani
Marumani
Ervine
Bennett
Williams
Raza
Burl
Madande
Jongwe
Wellington
Ngarava
Muzarabani

Personally I would like to see Bennett opening with Ervine and slot Campbell in at No. 4 with Willo at 3.

I'll surely prefer to have Jongwe in the side, Wellington's place can also go to Ndlovu, in fact I would like to see Ndlovu start ahead of Wellington but knowing these people they will probably prefer Wellington.

Marumani wk / Gumbie wk 2 games each
Ervine
Bennett
Williams
Raza
Burl
Campbell / Faraz Akram 2 games each
Jongwe
Wellington
Ngarava
Muzarabani

I vote for this lineup
Welly can be benched for Ndlovu if he is ineffective at some point..

Agree Gumbie can play but if you have Ervine in the side also they are too slow for t20 cricket. Gumbie is a lock for 50 over and Test cricket as an opener but not t20 yet for me.

We agree on something! I need a lie down.

The way local expert Kriterion_BD tells it, being the hottest April ever in existence:

Zero batters
A wicket keeper
Six allrounders
Four bowlers

Seems a well balanced side with everyone contributing here and there. Ervine, Gumbie and Bennett running drinks. Will need plenty of them in this alleged blistering 60 degree East Pakistan heat. Like bro, seen more heat on Mst Monira Khatun’s only fans.

Raz dawg needs to open. If he doesn’t it just proves he was stat padding at the qualifiers opening against the likes of Lesotho and Chad. Convince me otherwise.

Massive series this in the context of automatic t20 qualification. Far more importantly however with the European summer just round the corner, it’s the perfect timing and opportunity to catch the eye of the selectors in Lanzoni’s tapeball league Italia. Billions of Lira on offer there and as worthless as bond notes :lol:
