Mire & Musakanda are back, and Chinouya given a game.

Edit: Raza captain.

[totoro]

Also we are 41 for 5.

Luckily we bat deep.

[Mr Twig]

All our younger batsmen failing. Not a good sign.

[pariah]

Trust ZCF not to notice that Raza and Malcolm batted 6 and 7 in a lineup that had no Hami, Sean, BT, Vusi and Craig against Netherlands B.

Argument: "They wanted to give youngsters a chance to face more balls"
Response: "So why didn't Chibhabha bet below them?"

Surely at least one of Moor and Burl should have batted in the top 3 today!!! I wonder what Kasuza would have done in ODIs considering the number of chances these two have had already.

[totoro]

Hopefully we see a century partnership between Chris Mpofu and Chinouya.

Very pathetic. Guys on the fringe like Musakanda and Moor doing themselves no favours.

That's the excellence of Zimbabwe batting deep right? All out in 30 overs!!!

So the next question is how much will these champion allrounders concede against NED-B in comparison to their batting scores?

That is why I say guys like Hami and Vusi have the class and excellence to do better for Zimbabwe even in the middle order. Destructive Elton?

3 runs out of 13 for Chakabva! It was foolish to pick him to begin with. Just like Moor and Burl! But to place him at number 8??? This is the thinking from Heath Streak. We've seen so much stupidity in the batting and it's order, that one wonders why it's Ntini who must go, but Streak and Klusener must remain? There is absolutely no way Ntini is responsible for this spinner foolishness.

Once again, Mire is not an opener!!!

Zimbabwe cricket is comical at an administrative, technical, and playing level. Nothing positive anywhere at all right now. Big monies flushed down the drain to bring back players and host a tourney. All needless and unnecessary.

[Jemisi]

No.

[CrimsonAvenger]

If Burl, Moor and Musakanda are our future batsmen, they really need a lot of rethinking. They are throwing away the opportunities coming their way.
