Zimbabwe may struggle in the middle overs without the guile of someone like brent, Then again i suppose we are a much stronger proposition than when we last played kenya with the likes of taibu,price and williams back in the fold
Hopefully Price and Utseya are able to bowl in tandem through overs 20 to 40. If they click they will severely choke the opposition. The new ball combination is what I'm worried about. Chigumbura and Mpofu I suppose would be best, but what if Mpofu is too expensive?
West Indies have pulled out of the four-nation Twenty20 tournament in Canada next month after their request to postpone it by two weeks was turned down. The tournament, scheduled from October 10-13 at the Maple Leaf ground in Toronto, will now feature Zimbabwe alongside Pakistan, Sri Lanka and hosts Canada.
we will only arrive in kenya for a massive tornamant which we have to win to be seen as creditbale international oppostion only 2/3 dasy before it begings
but i understand we need to grap the oppotuntiy to play as much international cricket as possible
I think the additional match practice can only help before the kenyan tournament. The team probably wouldn't have arrived any earlier than 3 days before anyway...

I'd agree - the national side hasn't had any competitive match practice for months now, this will be a decent warm-up for the Kenya series. I'd prefer another week between them, but Zim have been hauled in at the last minute and can't really look a gift-horse in the mouth...
this is great. this 20/20 series should be good to watch on tv. And it will be good warm up for the kenya series, which the need with the lack of criket lately.
