ZIM TEST SQUAD vs Bangladesh

[Rajkumar Sharma]

idm marumani but no wes hes struggled even in domestic level

Way better then Maruma

maruma won`t make it to the final xi surely

Marumani, Wes, Dion are all format players and it is the best time and best opponent for Zim to back them

[Rajkumar Sharma]

I would have gone with

T Marumani
W Madhevere
C Ervine
D Myers
B Taylor
S Williams
J Gumbie
B Chipungu
T Chatara
V Nayuchi
B Muzarabani

Gumbie because Regis is inconsistent. Chipungu, considering Bangladesh struggle against leggies.

[sloandog]

instead of chisoro we must include fast bowler..because chisoro don't have a wicket taking ableites..he must be in odl & t20..maruma should bowl legspin

This is ridiculous.
I'm all for freedom of speech but this dialogue is clogging up the forum.

[Yvmnaidu]

really chisoro is odl & t20 bowler..not testbowler..if maruma should Included in team..he should bowl some overs..he is a legspinner..

[Jemisi]

Mate, he WAS a leg spinner. He no longer bowls.

[Zimco]

I don't really care as long as nyauchi plays. Who is a better /more attacking bowler nyauchi or tiripano. Blessing needs support.

[Tinah09]

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.

I agree, its time to pick bowlers with wicket-taking abilities. Tiripano is a decent cricketer, honest professional and handy batsman, but his bowling is toothless, so unless he plays as a batsman, theres really no point in pucking him. We dont have a mainline spinner capable of taking wickets on the 3rd/4th day, Chisoro, Wellington are just plain spin bowlers, they offer no threats. Tjis is why weve seen teams consistently score 400+ against us. If WE HAVE to have spinners, I reckon Burl/Madhevere (took 5 for vs a good SA A side) at no8

Spot on! Play your best 4 bowlers regardless of style. And also play your best 6 batsmen. Well that leaves Regis, who on his day can bat and is our best keeper.

Select a team to win and not to avoid defeat.

Zim needs some its old players back Ryan Buttercrooker, Ian Nicholman, Kylan Bowie, Stevens Marillier, Culian Price, Ncube, Idiot Kaia...this could add value to the team.

Andy Flower should be the new coach

[eugene]

My bet is on Maruma being one of the openers. You heard it here first.
