Its a world first giving a guy captaincy who has never captained a game in his life. And a seamer?
Only in Zim

Even if he'd had 10 ducks he still knows cricket.
Who else in the current/recent Test line up, that’s more or less a certainty to be selected, could have it? Not saying Ngarava is the right choice at all but the candidates are not queuing up for it.

Burl has been nowhere near the Test team for years.

Ngarava is at least one of the first names on the team sheet. Burl doesn't even play first-class cricket.
Neil Johnson, Alistair Campbell, Murray Goodwin, Andy Flower (w), Grant Flower, Dave Houghton, Guy Whittall, Heath Streak (c), Andy Blignaut, Ray Price, Eddo Brandes

Was fun whilst it lasted. Can't afford to drop 2 catches in a match for such a key player. Even if we win the last 2 games, NRR will be hard to overturn.

It's just so frustrating that the team has the capability, but then also has the ability to turn up and be so poor.

Can we please stop with this Munyonga and Musekiwa love fest
