Having a fast bowler going for 1 run an over less really doesn't make much difference when the spin bowlers are bowling 2-3 full tosses or half trackers an over going to the boundary

Zimbabwe batsmen playing the way they should be when the team is 1 up in the series on a pitch which will get harder for the batsmen. Let them grind out 2-3 days of batting. Only makes it harder for Bangladesh

Don't see the need to have 3 seamers if the pitch is going to be spinning. Strengthens the batting if the team needs to bat for a draw

With Madhevere out there, Bangladesh is now into the tail

I was told by aydee that Bennett would never be selected as an opener in red ball cricket, yet here we are. Amazing what the team can achieve when selected on merit

Not a bad squad all things considered. I wonder who will open the batting with Curran

Bennett is batting at 3 behind DEI Makoni. That means he's capable of opening

Curran
Bennett
Walsh
Ervine
Williams
Naqvi
Burl
Tsiga
Ngarava
Muzarabani
Nyauchi

I don't care how well the DEI selections play in this game. They've been tried countless times at the top level and failed. I have no doubt they'll fail again

I would take Burl and Naqvi. Use them along with Bennett and Williams as the spinners. The specialist spinners are worse than the part-timers and offer more with the bat
