Zimbabwe Vs West Indies | 1st Test | 4-8 Feb 2023 | Bulawayo

I actually thought Evans was going to bat at 6. This is the first time I have to say DH and co have gotten it completely wrong in my opinion. Even with injuries this is still the wrong team

Yeah, Tsiga and Chamu selections and batting positions are inexplicable.

Not cancelling at least Burl’s NOC also criminal

[secretzimbo]

If people think Rocks’ 2nd choice keeper isn’t good enough wait until we pick Mountaineers’ 3rd choice next week

This is what I was worried about when I saw Ballance batting at No. 5 with a long tail to come. He will run out of partners.

There’s no way at all that Houghton is telling Ballance to bat at 5, below Chibhabha.
Selectors meddling I’m sure

Gumbie

Oh yes, that's very much a possibility. But I thought it was currently:

Gumbie >> Magodo >> Sauramba >> Moor at Mountaineers

[Crastle_cog]

Surely Moor wasn't that bad with the gloves as far as remember.

[TapsC2]

They basically played 5 batsmen here of which 2 failed. At least if the keeper was a live wire with the gloves then his selection would make sense. Otherwise he is just as good as Marumani with the gloves
