It is monumental stupidity to not give game time to Wellington Masakadza / Mufudza - who both seem to be better equipped than the recent showings of Nyumbu and MShangwe. Mutombodzi will never make the team as a spinner anyway, so it is a free ride for MShangwe in this match, for no reason.

Well said. Mushangwe hasn't done anything substantial in the domestic season. Zim missed a trick by not picking W Masakadza who has been with Zim national side for sometime & played 10 odd ODIs or someone like Mufadza who has performed well & better than Mushangwe.

I never liked the Mutombodzi selection, that too as a captain. Picking any one of Vusimuzi Sibanda, Peter Moor or Malcolm Waller would have been nice.

Our bowlers cannot get a bite of the wicket, they have been non threatening.
We getting killed out there

Silly to pick Sean Williams in the squad and not play him. But I guess they weren't gonna drop their Zim A captain Mutombodzi for the number 5 Test select.

'Monumental stupidity' indeed.

[Flakeman]

Haha what a crock of kak Zim selectors are ! Its really beyond a joke ! They love playing with people's heads.

[Ming]

Well, the Saffers don't seem to have been too monumentally stressed out by our bowling today.

Pathetic selection. Maruma, Mutomzodi and Mushange? Should have selected Williams, Waller and Wellington.
