ZIM TEST SQUAD vs Bangladesh

[CholeZimbo]

I know DT will play at 8, but we needed full pace attack. And I hope they do not play a spinner for the sake of just having a spinner in a cricket team.

[zimbofan88]

Yeah, I think DT and Chisoro both will play

Probable XI
Kasuza
Shumba
Ervine
BT
Williams
Kia
Chakabva
DT
Chisoro
Ngarava
Blessing

Ideal XI
Shumba
Kasuza

I like the squad, no real complaints to be honest

I'd like to see a real fast & hard track here awaiting for the BD guys, they don't have the pace attack that will scare the Zim boys like the Pakistan side had. For me it's four seamers and part time spin, if they prepare the right deck, if they're going to leave something there for the spinners then I'd play Chisoro.

Kasuza
Shumba

I don't mind that Wes has been dropped. I don't think he is ready for this format and constantly putting pressure on him to play and perform will not help his development.

Still not a fan of a Maruma and Wellington, but when you are part of the in crowd, it does not matter how crap you are.

If Burl is injured, his exclusion makes sense. If not, then ZC are once again playing stupid politics and the only detriment is to the team, fans and the game.

Wes Marumani opening pair could give Zim runs with run rate @3 over. Modern test cricket is changed, applying early pressure will unsettle opponent bowlers that will make the job easier for the middle order.

Kasuza Prince Musaksanda were over defensive against Pakistan that dried out runs and getting out early exposed Zim middle order. There is an aggresor for every team in test cricket Conway for Kiwis, Markram for Proteas, Warner for Aussies and if we see Zim's current opponent they have Tamim whose motive will be to put pressure on Zim bowlers by attacking early in the innings.

I agree that Prince and Kazusa are slow. If you read my posts, you would know I am not a fan of them, but throwing the youngsters in to open when they do not have the experience to do so is only adding unnecessary pressure for players who do not have the support structures that they need to develop in the same way that players from other countries do.

Some or other day Wes & Marumani will definately feature in Test as they are prolific scorers in shorter formats and when they make debut it will be new to them. Experience doesn't matter when both performing that too against quality Proteas A side has definately made their confidence high.Since both are in good form, with high level of confidence Bangladesh would have been right opponent where they could have made debut.

Sometimes out of the box selection brings wonder in performance.

Way better then Maruma. Wes has allround talent and needs confidence by getting backed from selectors
