i think we need to give maruma a fair crack he has been making runs and bolwing ok , but for me waller has impresses he has taken wckets whilst keeping it tight and has not failed with the bat yet.the lineup looks balanced and bats down the order with plenty of bolwing options . meth has to play he needs to show what he can do beause surely is part of the future of zim cricket .

[jamthala]

poor team selection.

[shumbat]

poor team selection.

With no radical changes in team selection, we would get bored of losing. These players need competition to do better.

[Conant]

New Zealand A bowled out today for 208, Panyangara 3-55, Chinouya 3-44, Garwe 3-45.

Zimbabwe 70/2 in the second innings, Tino Mawoyo 40 no

Zim A definately making a game of it

[eugene]

These team selections, for both the A team and the senior team have been very disappointing.
