1.masvaure
2.kasuza
3.shumba - we need an extra spinner
4.taylor
5.kaia
6.chakabva
7.tiripano
8.jongwe - we need him to bat and bowl
9.chisoro
10.muzarabani
11. Ngarava

Nyauchi is a good bowler but he bowls at around 126km/hr he is only effective on a very green pitch. 2nd test on a dry pitch vs Afghanistan he struggled that's when u need ngarava to bounce someone out.

Why the hell did Sean play in that t20?

Anyway is there a chance we have Him and Ervine back for the 2nd?

Already feeling the mental exhaustion of this test. I rather have us bat first, end play 4 or 5 down then at least reach lunch next day. Hopefully score at least 250. Also at least see the morning of day 5. Not get beaten like we beat Afghanistan in the 1st test.

Wesley should have been on the test team. The other batters don't inspire much confidence in me.

Really really really stupid decision for Willo to play that final T20. Wasn't fit enough to bowl, looked in pain when batting, and BT did a very fine job standing in as captain in the previous match. absolutely no ned for him to return if he wasn't fit. Really annoying. I wonder who's decision it was?

Ervine definitely not back for 2nd Test. Sean hopefully will be.

I think Nyauchi will be found out by Pakistan, overrated.

Afghanistan had a partnership of 307 runs in the second test. Victor nyauchi really struggled

In international test cricket u need pace as a minimum requirement to be effective 130 km/hr plus unless if u r tall and accurate.

Why is Burl not on the team? Only one white player in Zimbabwe tomorrow. Is it a record or sth?

Have that feeling too. As I said before I feel like Ngarava offers something with the bounce he can extract. It’s the only advantage we have. He just doesn’t seem tall because he is around Blessing but trust me he is tall.

For an Emirati, Race relations really do keep you up at night.
