What do we think about changes for the 4th odi? maybe mpofu will get a run.He deserves it after his domestic form. Waller for williams who is injured? Williams being injured might save Coventry from getting dropped.

Zimbabwe batsman Sean Williams was unable to bat after picking up an injury while warming up.
Man, that's as unlucky as you can get. Brings back memories of Brian Murphy in CWC 2003: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=34&p=541#p541

Unfortunate that Zimbabwe lost the match to Kenya by just 20 runs.

Pace bowlers were expensive especially Elton Chigumbura who gave away more than 10/over in 6 overs. I would like offer more chance to Kyle Jarvis. May be costly sometimes but he is a wicket taker. He will improve his accuracy time to time by playing more.

If Sean Williams is unfit for the next match, then I would like to give Forster Mutizwa or Christopher Mpofu a chance.

AND well done to Brendan Taylor for scoring 92, Stuart Matsikenyeri (58) and ever consistent Hamilton Masakadza (44).

Stuart Mastikinyere is fast becoming a player who can anchor the innings for the team. If you look at his two inning 2nd ODI 71 from 70 balls 3rd ODI 58 from 85 balls. He played according to the situation and didnt throw away his wicket. Marks of a great batsman for me. I dont know if his content with his 5/6 position or he could be promoted to No. 3. If Williams is out for the 4th ODI I think we should bring in Mpofu. That will give us an extra seam option. There will be a lot of questions around Coventry perhaps he should bat lower down the order. Or perhaps we can rope in Mutizwa.
CHRISTOPHER MPOFU: 'The problem was fear of failure. I used to think that when I played, if I didn't do well in one game, I would lose my place for the next one but now I've let go of that'
