Draw will be a huge achievement hence Zimbabwe will probably go with 8+3 combination.

Musakanda isn't even in the squad, and Mire won't play. Couldn't be further away from a likely line up mate, but i'm also hoping we go with an 8-3 line up

My XI:

1. Hamilton (C)
2. Chakabva
3. Ervine
4. Taylor
5. Williams
6. Raza
7. Moor (WK)
8. Burl (Nyumbu/Mpofu) (Tiripano will struggle to get wicket)
9. Mavuta (I'm backing him over Nyumbu & Wellington)
10. Jarvis
11. Chatara

What about a stupidly attacking 8-3 whereby Taylor opens and Mavuta plays?

1 Taylor
2 Masakadza
3 Williams
4 Raza
5 Moor
6 Ervine
7 Chakabva
8 Burl
9 Mavuta
10 Jarvis
11 Chatara

Bats down to 9. Not happy having Mavuta there but only meaningful option available. Lot of bowling to be done by Williams and Raza.

This is also the first time I have kept Chatara out of any XI I have put up, as his 5 day match fitness is unknown and 2 and a half pacers are good enough anyway in BD.

Really needed Cremer for this series.

I’d be happy with that but it’s not happening.

The side I would go with is the following

Hamilton
Burl
Ervine
BT
Williams
Raza
Moor
Regis wk
Mavuta
Jarvis
Chatara

Tempted to play Tiripano instead of Regis & have BT keep but I think 2 seamers is enough in BD despite this pitch supposedly being the best for seamers.

Going to need plenty of batting
