The boys wanted to make it home by lunch so they decided to give in early.
Good knock from Prince he seemed the only batsman who put his hand up for a Test sport,I wonder who he is going to replace in the squad, he seems comfortable in the top order.

Seems a good case to put two spinners in against New Zealand for this Bulawayo track. Cremer obviously is in but we need an off spinner too. Nyumbu is out of form so do we try mufudza?

He may well have played himself into a test debut. Possibly opening??

and this is why I feel the second game was played by the wrong players. I feel like Wellington or Chisoro would have been decent options for a test spot as the second spinner but now we don't know because they never played. as for Prince I think he definitely deserves a chance and even though he is not the best bowler, the fact that he can bowl might also work in his favour. I wish we had seen PJ, Chamu and Vusi also play because I feel like they are direct rivals for someone like Prince. Also picked up that Chakabva doesn't seem to be in good form which creates a big problem for us because the last person I want to see playing a test match is Mutumbami.

I think we might see PJ mor ,mutumbami and chakabva play in the 3 dayer against the Kiwis to fight it out for the wicket keeper position and we might also see the two spinners competing for a spot as well

Our PACERS ARE ALREADY SORTED Shingi, chatara,Nyauchi or Vitori

Will Vitori be selected, I'm not sure, all the pacers of 2nd FC match went for runs & wicket less barring Mavaure.

Chibhabha as a longer format player, I'm not sure.

I will stick with Regis Chakabva. I feel Joylord Gumbie is ahead of Richmond Mutumbami.

l would go for Joylord Gumbie as well he is a better option though l feel he should have been played in the second 4 dayer we could have been given a better position to judge his performance.

Can we finally move on from Chakabva and Mutumbami? Gumbie is the way forward! Get him in the team!

talented Yes ,ready No ... although gumbie is a
very talented kid he frustrates sometimes lack of
concentration i think is his downfall.. those first ball
ducks were evident since his time @ churchill & sadly
has never really done much even for zimu19 far from
a taking the lead player, if the cookie crumbles he too
crumbles which is not exactly what we need.. talented
lad though .. chakabva could keep mutumbami should
retire with chigz, hami, waller, panyangara,mupariea
