Nathan Waller isn't part of the ODI squad, is he? Thought it was just the Test squad.

I'd like to see Ryan Burl slightly higher I'm not going to lie, but in tomorrow's game I can just see him being down the order. So I wouldn't mind having a look at Muzakanda, see if he can push the innings on towards the back end.

Burl is clearly a touch player, in the mould of Crag Ervine. He's not a slogger and he's not as unorthodox as Moor or Waller. If he plays he has to be higher up the order. I wouldn't drop Mazakadza as I still think he's our best batter, he just seems to be getting out to poor shots at the moment.

Mumba replaces injured Wellington Masakadza. Worst Decision, Chisoro would have been the best option, he would have got some help in turning pitches of Sri Lanka and he is a better lower order batsman can add some valuable runs.

Would prefer to have Malcolm Waller open the innings. Malcolm is not bowling these days and it is waste to have him come towards the end of the game just for slogging. Zim definitely needed Ngarava in the side as he was developing good amount of pace and would have been a better option along with Chatara.

Malcolm has been scoring runs batting where he's batting, the most comfortable he has looked in ages - why risk changing it?

Ngarava is genuinely rubbish. I witnessed it at the Grange in Edinburgh when Scotland beat Zimbabwe. He was not quick, he was wayward and had no plan.

Haha finally someone sees what ive been saying for so long. Picked for being tall...This guy has nothing !

Mark Olonga will be very soon making impact in Zimbabwe Cricket with his 145 kph pace and toe crushing yorkers.

[gargamel]

Only logical replacement is Chibaba who is on tour for Hamilton and i think Burl should be given a bowl a golden arm keep him in the game . From what i have seen of him domestically is he tends to perform when batting around 4 and 5 if he is allowed to bat ahead of PJ (Accident waiting to happen)a and waller to finish or abt with the tail we can get to see how good he is

Mumba has been added to the ODI squad in place of jnr masakadza. Could well be the next pitch will be bouncy as it has been past few years.
Play him and mpofu
