Wes doesn’t have to be a slogger up top, decent batsmen don’t ‘slog’ they just find ways of scoring runs quickly. Wes can do that, some of his shots are quality. His inexperience gives his wicket away, he plays one shot too many. Putting him in the middle order doesn’t work in my opinion because he would still play the same way, but without the gaps of the power play.secretzimbo wrote: ↑Wed May 18, 2022 5:55 pm
Wes is way too technically gifted to just be a slogger trying to desperately hit every ball in the first couple of overs. He's classy and would be better in the middle order. Marumani is the big hitter you need up there.
Why do we need 4 specialist seamers on Zimbabwe's slowest pitch though?
Definitely play an extra batsman. Although Jongwe bowled really well yesterday, doesn't deserve to be dropped after that.
We only have one specialist spinner in the squad so we have to play pacers. I agree though that 4 is too many. Now that Shumba is proving himself with the ball I would drop one of either DT, Jongwe or Chivanga.
Jongwe does bowl well in this format so think he should stick around, I think DT is in for his batting more than his bowling, just as a relief bowler.
Evans needs to be given a shot in the 11 now, or Nyauchi. Can’t stand watching Chivanga play.
